Abstract
This article describes a new way of keeping the design temperature cooling system of stator winding and rotor synchronous  turbogenerators installed on thermal and nuclear power plants. The method allows regardless of the season of the year, air temperature and cooling water, especially during the summer, keep the design temperature cooling turbogenerator stator winding in the distillate. The use of this method increases the reliable operation of electrical machines, in particular, turbogenerators, without emergency power reduction.

Keywords: thermal power plants, deaeration,decarbonization,  mass transfer and the energy efficiency,make-up water of heating supply systems.
Abstract
The article describes the technology low-temperature degassing water. This technology can considerably increase the energy efficiency of thermal power station. The desorbing agent in deaerators and calciners is a gas to be supplied to burners of the boiler. Natural gas has very low or negative temperature after the reducing devices. It contains virtually no corrosive gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), can therefore be successfully used as a desorbing  agent in deaeration and decarbonization water. These factors make it possible to do deaeration and decarbonization at relatively low temperatures (10-30оС). Mixing cold deaerated make-up water with reverse heating-system water leads to a significant lowering of the temperature reverse heating-system water before heater lower network and increase the production of electric energy to the heat consumption. This technology can increase the economic operation of thermal power station. The article presents the calculation of the flow rate of gas theoretically required for deaeration and decarbonization and reveals the evaluation of the energy efficiency of the technology for a typical energy unit of thermal power station.

Abstract
According to the idea of concurrent existence of a spatial six-link Bricard mechanism and a four-link Bennett mechanism, an innovative point of view on the mechanism with redundant ties is developed on the basis of CAD system using the method of instantaneous states with increments of angular coordinates. It has been established that concurrent existence of the spatial six-link mechanism is possible if in one or in three kinematic pairs the links are connected with orientation opposite (symmetrical) to connection orientation of links in remaining pairs; or when one or three links in the kinematic chain are designed to have reflective symmetry of remaining links. Structural analysis yielded that in a closed one-degree-of-freedom kinematic chain with turning pairs there exists symmetry reflecting a structural feature of mechanism – Möbius symmetry. This indicates topological origin of discovered symmetry. Topological Möbius symmetry discovered in spatial structure of Bricard mechanism is a new type of symmetry.

Abstract
A comprehensive experimental study of the limit stresses and strains of aluminum alloy D16T under complex stress state was carried out. Different types of combined loading by tension, compression, torsion, and internal pressure are considered. Interpretation of fracture stress and strain according to the classical theories of strength and ultimate strain is presented. It is found that the deformation criterion of static fracture is preferable to describe the behavior of a hardening material under complex stress state.

THE RESULTS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF SINGLE-MASS VIBRATION SYSTEM OF DIRECTED OSCILLATIONS BASED ON ASYNCHRONOUS VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES // Transactions of Academenergo. -2014. -N 3. –P. 91- 102.

Abstract
A mathematical model of one-mass vibration system designed on the basis of asynchronous oscillations variable frequency drive. A computer simulation of the system with different operating conditions have got in the software package Bauman 3.7.  The results of computer simulation of one-mass vibration system have obtained on the basis of asynchronous oscillations variable frequency drive in coasting, braking, and in the case of resonance mode.
Introduction of vibrotehnology on a larger scale is complicated with the lack of effective control systems to ensure the stability of its work, particularly in the resonant mode of oscillation. A special case of the vibration system aimed on oscillations, which is necessary to stabilize the amplitude of, are machines operating in the resonant mode. Resonant modes of vibration machine with forced vibrations practically difficult to implement because of the significant impact of changes in load parameters of the oscillating system.
However, most of the vibration systems operates at frequencies outside the resonance. One of the problems of this kind of systems is the passage of the resonance in the dynamic conditions in which there are mechanical load, having a negative impact on the elements of the system.
The simulation results demonstrate the advantages of dynamic braking to avoid the negative effects of vibration during braking of machine.
The vibration system with automatic control system is considered, showing the search and maintain resonance with changing operating load and the working environment.
