Abstract
In this paper, developed an algorithm solving the problem of high-speed thermal cooling of molten metals and alloys in order to form an amorphous structure. This process is realized through the rapid heat transfer and provide high cooling rate of the melt.
The rate of cooling alloys calculated by numerically solving the problem of heat transfer between the melt and a thin layer of a solid metal plate with high heat conductivity. Based on the results of the pilot study was to obtain an amorphous structure of the deposited metal, defined the conditions the implementation of this technology.

Abstract
The aim is to assess the basic geometrical characteristics of the gas-dynamic profile of the two-stage combustion device of hydrogen and oxygen. The assessment is based on the theory of design and calculation of gas burning devices, balance equations of combustion, thermo-technical bases of calculation of heat transfer. Were taken into account data on the dissociation of steam depending on the pressure and temperature. The result was determined the basic geometrical characteristics of the gas-dynamic profile of the combustion device depending on the heat capacity and operating pressure. Also identified the minimum consumption of hydrogen and oxygen in nonstoichiometric part of the chamber to the combustion to achieve self-ignition temperature of the hydrogen in the stoichiometric. And it was determined the calculated value of thermal power of combustion device on reaching the limit of the operating temperature of the steel.

Abstract 
Actual problem in the area of steam turbines for nuclear power plants is the creation of turbine unit capacity of over 1,200 MW, with an efficiency of above 37% unit and the specific metal content of less than 2,4 tons/MWh Reducing the size of the existing turbine set, keeping the overall efficiency unit lead to the creation competitive power plant. Practical using the last stage with the longest blades, with a fixed number parallel streams, defines the volumetric flow of steam, which can be passed through the flow part of the low-pressure turbine. Steam flow and parameters of live steam upstream of the turbine as well as steam pressure behind it in the near future is unlikely can be change. Value of the output velocity in full-speed turbines are close to their limit. The basic reserve of reducing the number of LPC flows and increasing the unit capacity of the cylinder can serve to further increase summary area of the end “exhausts”. Increasing the steam load and the area “exhaust” LPC at a fixed speed turbine and conditionally “limiting” length of the last stages blades, achieved by using of bunk last stages in LPC. The report presents an analysis of the thermal scheme of steam turbine for NPP 1200MW capacity with design – HIPC+LPC . The advantages and disadvantages of bunk stages are considered, there are given the calculations by choosing the optimal ratio of height to the blade of the upper tier to the total length the blade of a bunk stage to reach the maximum power and LPC well design.
It has been shown that the use of the bunk stages of 1200 MW class turbine will reduce metal consumption by 20-30% whit saving the current levels turbine efficiency. However, today, without waiting for the development of new super-long blades, the application of bunk stages on the basis of existing last stages blades can be created turbine capacity up of 1,800 MW for nuclear power plant.

Abstract 
Different concepts of the organization of combined power plants using internal combustion е ngine (both in operation and newly designed) bottoming with ORC modules are discussed. Preliminary short-cut investigation of ORC working fluid varying was carried out. The referenced data of commercially available internal combustion engine of WÄRTSILÄ was utilized through the numerical analysis. The numerical experiments were provided by means of material and heat balance equations complemented with finite-temperature difference limitations of heat exchangers, evaporators and condensers. A structural and parametric optimization of combined cycle power units was made and the influence of various factors on energy efficiency was analyzed.

Abstract 
An algorithm for crack growth rate computation is proposed. The program    based on this algorithm is developed for controllers of testing machines   produced by M/s Bangalore Integrated System Solutions. The least square method is used for regression analysis of experimental data. Discrete data sets are approximated by a second-order curve. The crack growth rate is obtained using the derivative of    polynomial approximation in the middle region of discrete data set. The distinctive feature of the developed algorithm is its low sensitivity to number of points in the array of the experimental data and to the spread width of a source data. The proposed algorithm allows for changes of parameters and processing methods in real-time during the experiment.

Abstract
Possibility of verification models which definitely describe experimental results of unsteady viscous fluids filtration through porous media in laboratory and reservoir conditions are considered in this paper. A comparison of experimental data on hydrodynamic test using method of pressure waves in various porous media with the basic mathematical models were described and shown calculations of phase velocity for used equations. It is shown that local equilibrium model of classical elastic filtration definitely describes in the laboratory unsteady filtration of high-viscosity fluids in homogeneous media in a wide spectral range of pressure waves. In case of unsteady filtration in carbonate (fractured -porous) with block-pore heterogeneity of reservoirs it is possible to use only non-equilibrium models.
