At present an important role in solving energy conservation problem is assigned to thermal pumping plants (TPP). Using processes of evaporation and condensation of easily boiling liquid circulating in the system they extract low potential heat from environmental objects and provide heat supply for buildings, constructions, greenhousee and so on. Artificial sources of low potential heat for TPP of different capacity can be, for instance, ventilation air and exhaust gases, circulating and waste water,ground. Energy efficient reasonability of TPP use in the system of water disposal for the town of Novocherkassk in Rostov region is considered. Calculations indicate that there is a technical potential to replace a boiler house operating on expensive gas fuel and emissing into the atmospere more than 850 t of carbon dioxide - greenhouse gas - with ecologically clean TPP, one of which uses heat of waste water and the other - heat of ground.

The article describes the research of thermodurability of glass-carbon - one of the most promising carbon materials used in the production of luminophors and semiconductor materials, optical single crystals, etc. The aim of this work was to study the behavior glass-carbon in the course of thermo-cyclic testing. As a method of diagnostics of the birth and development of micro-cracks was used by the reception of signals of acoustic emission. It is shown that at heating in the samples glass-carbon there was a strong movement of dislocations in thermocyclic effects ,recognized in the signals of acoustic emission. As the number of pulses when heated above, than during the cooling of the sample, it is evidence of the accumulation of damages in the structure of the cyclic thermal processing glass-carbon samples. It is established, that the curves of the accumulation of defects at the pulses of acoustic emission, differ on the stage of heating and cooling. Proposed to use the curve of the aggregate accounts of acoustic emission pulses as a possible harbinger of destruction when heated glass-carbon of the product.

Thermal treatment of Fe-Co-V as an instrument to improve soft-magnetic material devices quality
The process of optimizing the thermal treatment Fe-Co-V alloys used in the magnetic torque motors is studied in order to improve the magnetic properties. It is shown that to achieve high and stable magnetic properties of the alloy it must be annealed in vacuum using inactive coatings. Regime of the annealing process depends on the quality of the original alloy. Quality verification is carried out by measuring the magnetic properties of the control samples . Identifying optimal annealing regime is based on the analysis of a phase diagram of Fe-Co alloy. In connection with that the research of influence of the heating rate , maximum temperature and holding time , cooling rate on the behavior of the magnetic parameters of the control samples is carried out. It was found that the improvement of the magnetic properties is achieved by increasing the exposure time to 6h at the cooling rate of 100 °/hr. As a result a reduction of the coercive force (60 ÷ 50 ) A / m to (28 ÷ 32 ) A / m and increased magnetic induction of technical saturation from (2,0 ÷ 2,10) Т to (2,20 ÷ 2.26 ) T. for Fe-Co-V alloy are achieved. Research of the exposure time and the cooling regime caused a decrease in coercive force of the Fe-Co alloy.

According to the signal theory vocal speech presents a non-stationary random process due to time variation of its main characteristics. A special emotional impact is gained during ensemble and choir performances. The article provides the correlation analysis results and the autocorrelation function of ensemble singing calculated, taking into account the non-stationary nature of acoustic signals. The studies have shown that there is a certain visual resemblance between correlation portraits of a non-professional student ensemble and a non-professional solo singer. At the same time the correlation portrait of student and professional co-performance tends to a professional singer correlation portrait. This helps to make a quantitative assessment of an ensemble’s professionalism which, alongside with a vocal teacher’s subjective assessment, can provide an objective view on singers’ voices condition to optimize the academic voice training process in an ensemble, which is important when using this voice assessing method in music schools, colleges and universities.
