The models relate the mixing index and axial hold-up distributions to a Peclet Number, the average dispersed phase hold-up, the input flow rates and the physical properties of the dispersion. The developed models offer a new understanding of the nature of the mixing process in continuous mixers with two liquid-liquid immiscible phases in flow. Experimental work was also performed to investigate the mixing index and axial dispersed phase hold-up distribution using Laser Transmission Technique (LTT) in a mixer setup. The experimental results were used in validating the models.

A method has been developed for the effective width of the spectrum of a speech signal, which allows identification and verification of the operator of an unmanned aerial vehicle based on an analysis of the informative components of voice prints under conditions of a high level of interference of various origins. A method has been developed for the highest informational weight of the fundamental tone, which is based on the use of the most informative components of the spectral representation of the prints of a speech signal. The first method allows to identify the operator of an unmanned aerial vehicle by the informative components of the spectral representation of the fingerprint of a speech signal under conditions of a high level of interference. High indicators, which are achieved by using this method, are obtained due to the uniqueness of the selected feature space, which retain their characteristics even with a fairly high level of interference. The second method provides speaker identification of an unmanned aerial vehicle by a specific space of unique voice features. The frequencies of the fundamental tone and overtones were chosen as the basic features. Such an approach to solving the identification problem provides a high probability of determining the operator with the existing rather high level of interference and reduces the processing time of information in comparison with the effective spectrum width method. The creation of control methods and models for unmanned aerial systems provides an increase in the level of noise immunity and safety of control systems from interventions by an unauthorized operator.

The optimal formulation for the developed glue adhesive composition based on casein has been determined with the help of the investigated properties. The effect of the amount of a modifying additive on the dynamic viscosity at different deformation rates, the stickiness of the adhesive composition, and the hydrogen ions index (pH) has been studied. Such technological properties of the glue adhesive composition were investigated as viscosity – 170 Pa∙s; pH – 7.21; the mass share of dry residue – 38.2 %; stickiness – 58.17 a.u.; working temperature – +20…+25 °С. The optimal technological parameters for using the glue have been defined: optimal viscosity, from 130 Pa∙s to 170 Pa∙s; temperature, 25 °C, and 35 °C, respectively. The adhesive strength between a paper label and glass is 4 points, polyethylene terephthalate – 3 points.

To solve this problem, laboratory and field experimental studies of the heat-insulating ability of the fire-extinguishing powder of combined effect were conducted. As a result, we obtained the data on the temperature in the center of the fire of materials based on magnesium alloy chips and outside during their suppressing by the fire-extinguishing powder with a combined effect. In this case, the temperature of the non-heated side of the fire-extinguishing powder layer does not exceed 170 °C at the average temperature of the fire center of 740 °C, which indicates high insulation capacity of the powder and, consequently, its high fire-fighting efficiency in extinguishing the fires of materials based on magnesium alloy chips. The obtained temperature data were used to determine the thermophysical parameters of the layer of the fire-fighting powder using the created mathematical model of the heat transfer process in the powder layer at the heat insulation of the fire center. To create a mathematical model of the heat transfer process, the main provisions during consecutive consideration of several experimental situations were stated. The first experimental situation meets the conditions of the stationary thermal process, and other experimental situations meet the conditions of the non-stationary thermal process. These experimental situations were created with the help of changing the thickness of the fire-fighting powder layer at different parameters of its feeding to the fire center. The mathematical model of the process is based on the use of the differential equation of heat transfer at its approximation by the method of finite differences. At the same time, it is believed that the heat transfer conditions at the boundary between the non-heated side of the insulating layer of the fire-extinguishing powder and the environment in each experimental situation are the same. Using the created model, the coefficient of heat transfer between the non-heated side of the insulating layer of the fire-extinguishing powder and the environment was determined. It amounted to 395.7 W(m 2 ×°С). The dependence of the effective thermal conductivity coefficient on the thickness of the insulating layer was explored. It was shown that this dependence can be approximated by linear dependence l(d)=–0.016+93.907×d (d is the thickness of the layer of the fire-extinguishing powder in meters).

A mathematical model has been proposed for the process of combined sequential radial-direct extrusion with compression with the presence of triangular kinematic modules. The use of the triangular kinematic modules with curvilinear and straight-line boundaries has made it possible to describe the sites of intense deformation, which correspond to the steady stage of the deformation process. It has been proposed to apply an upper estimate of the power of forces that deform a kinematic module of the triangular shape of the transition zone from the radial flow of metal to direct extrusion. This has made it possible to derive the magnitude of the reduced deformation pressure in the analytical form as a function of the geometric and technological parameters of the extrusion process. The margin of error, compared to numerical calculations without the use of the upper estimate, does not exceed 0.2‒1 %. The role of an optimization parameter belongs to aI(0,1), which is responsible for the shape of the curvilinear boundary of the inner triangular kinematic module. We have derived an analytical expression for the optimal value of the α parameter and analyzed a change in the magnitude of the reduced deformation pressure at different ratios of the process geometric parameters. It has been established that the optimal values of the angle of inclination of the forming mandrel β lie between 20° and 30° for different ratios of the deformation process. It has been justified that the use of combined sequential extrusion in the manufacture of hollow components with a flange, when compared to the application of simple deformation schemes, improves the process technological possibilities. The lack of study of the schemes of the combined radial-direct extrusion process with the compression of components of the type of sleeve, as well as the lack of recommendations for calculating the energy force parameters of the process, have been confirmed. The calculation scheme of a given process, developed on the basis of an energy method, makes it possible to predict the force mode for the steady stage under different technological parameters of the deformation process.
