Gas turbine engines processes mathematic simulations are widely used in different steps of its living cycle. All engine simulations may be divided into different difficulty levels: higher simulation level allows doing a more pre­cise description of physical processes in main units of gas turbine engines and their elements. It gives the oppor­tunity for getting better arrangement of calculation results and experimental data, reduce the quality of factors, which are traditionally used in determine engine operational characteristics with 1-level models.The purpose of the article is to describe the thermogasdynamic parameters and maintenance perfomances cal­culation method, which based on second level mathematic simulation. Its main feature is blade-to-blade turbomachines description (multistage compressor and multistage cooling gas turbine), which allows to take into account blade and flow path geometrical parameters. Their changing during the gas turbine engine design and de­velopment processes influence its performances: thrust, fuel consumption, efficiency as functions of values of flow rate, rotational speed, engine entrance conditions and so on. All these dependences could be defined by using proposed calculation method.In distinction from methods which are noted, this method allows to concede compressor or turbine incidence angles, drag values, pressure ratio, surge margin in design and off-design  engine regimes. The opportunity to take into account by-passing and air bleeding from compressor blade channels and their engine parameters influence is very important also.The article includes calculation method main points, block-scheme, equations system, which gives the opportunity of alignment the engine units and their elements in wide range of state working regimes. Set of equations consists of flow rate balance equations through the stages of multistage compressor and turbine, combustion chamber and connected channels. Also system includes power balance equations, by-passing, air bleeding from compressor stages channels, its admission into the cooling turbine stages and ac­counts their thermodynamic parameters. Compressors and turbines maps parameters are calculated with main turbomachinery theory lows and semi-empirical dependences.This article is the first in series of articles, which considers this problem

The processes of gas turbine unit inlet air cooling with generation of condensate as a subproduct were investigated. The heat-humidity processes in the two-stage air cooler of combined type with the first low temperature cooling stage were water with temperature of about 7 °C as a coolant for precooling air from the changeable ambient temperature to the temperature not lower than 15 °C is used and low temperature cooling stage with a refrigerant boiling at the temperature of 2-4 °C as a coolant for further deep cooling air to the temperature of about 10 °C by utilizing the exhaust gas waste heat in the absorption lithium-bromide chiller as the high temperature cooling stage and refrigerant ejector chiller as the low temperature cooling stage of the combined thermotransformer has been analyzed for daily changing ambient air temperatures and heat loads on the stages as consequence. The processes of generating the condensate as a subproduct of gas turbine unit intake air two-stage cooling were simulated by using the computer simulation programs of the firms-producers of heat equipment for more than twice decreased heat load upon the high temperature cooling stage as compared with a heat load upon the low temperature cooling stage. The data about amount of condensate extracted in each air cooler stage was summed up over a day, three days and July and its temperature was calculated. The results of calculation have shown that the temperature of condensate received in the refrigerant low temperature cooling stage are lower by about 4 °C as compared with its value for high temperature cooling stage with a chilled water temperature of 7 °C from absorption lithium-bromide chiller. It was also shown that inspite of intensive changeable current temperatures of condensate from each and both stages mean weighted values of temperature of condensate from both stages of a combined two-stage air cooler remained nearly unchangeable during days. A conclusion about using the condensate from low temperature cooling stage as a coolant has been made

Successful implementation of international projects for the creation of energy complexes with plasma-chemical treatment of coal into synthesis gas and its using as fuel for gas turbine engines requires large capital investments. In this connection, the use of the Monte Carlo method during assessing the investment feasibility and efficiency of implementation of similar projects in conditions of uncertainties and risks presents applied and scientific interest.The Monte Carlo method makes it possible to use a representative sample of scenarios and not to search through all possible variants of the development of events in the future. The merits include the linear dependence of the number of simulations on the number of financial instruments and the ability to take into account both economic and technical indicators. It is determined that the strategic criteria for the success of the project can prevail in relation to economic and functional-technological, especially in the case of the development of a new environmentally friendly plasma-assisted technology. A theoretical model for estimating the economic efficiency of the project for creation of energy complex using inductive (radio frequency) plasma generators has been developed. Parameters characterizing the economic efficiency of proposed power plant with plasma-chemical gasification of coal are analyzed. The project efficiency depends significantly on the parameters characterizing the investment and discounting conditions. The estimation of economic efficiency of the investment project using plasma-chemical technology on a thermal power station with produced electric power of 3.9 MW is carried out. For the considered project conditions, the calculated average value of the profitability index for a power plant with plasma-chemical gasification of coal for 15 years is equaled 1.19 with a probability of 76%. The developed theoretical models can be used to solve problems of enhancement and optimization of management of international projects for the creation of plasma-chemical elements in conditions of uncertainties and risks

EQUATIONS OF AVERAGE ISOBARIC HEAT CAPACITY OF AIR AND COMBUSTION GASES WITH INFLUENCE OF PRESSURE AND EFFECT OF THERMAL DISSOCIATION
Authors: Ambrozhevich Maya Vladimirovna , Shevchenko Mikhail Anatol'evich
Published: May 2019

All properties of thermomechanical systems working substance are two-parameter that is determined by two parameters, the most often they are temperature and pressure which are easily measured by experiment. Representing the isobaric heat capacity as a function of temperature cp = f(T) become a thing of the past. Analytical and tabular ways are used to represent dependencies as a function of temperature and pressure. The tabular method is convenient for single calculations, but the analytical one is more convenient for a series of calculations. The advantages of an analytical description in comparison with a tabular one are obvious, namely, compactness of information storage without reference to node points, the ability to integrate and differentiate, dependencies can be embedded directly in the program body and don’t require special subroutines to access to the tables. Developers of the programs for calculating thermophysical properties, as a rule, use functional dependencies which may have a different appearance for temperature and pressure intervals of the same substance. This is explained by the fact that in the region close to the saturation curve, there is a steep change in all the thermophysical properties of substances including the isobaric heat capacity. In thermogasdynamic calculations of heat machines, the main physical parameter of the working fluid is its heat capacity, both true and average. The article presents the analytical dependencies of the average specific isobaric heat capacities of the main components of air and combustion products of hydrocarbon fuels which are united throughout the specified range of pressures and temperatures (nitrogen: p = 1 ... 200 bar, T = 150 ... 2870 K, oxygen: p = 1 ... 200 bar, T = 210 ... 2870 K, argon: p = 1 ... 200 bar, T = 190 ... 1300 K, the water vapor: p = 0,1 ... 200 bar, T = 700 ... 2600 K, carbon dioxide: p = 1 ... 200 bar, T = 390 ... 2600 K). The analytical dependencies were derived on the basis of previously obtained analytical expressions for the specific isobaric heat capacities of these gases. The average specific isobaric heat capacities of gases are also functions of temperature and pressure cp = f(T, P) and take into account the effect of thermal dissociation. Formulas for average specific isobaric heat capacities are obtained by integrating expressions for specific isobaric heat capacities. Verification of the obtained dependencies for different temperature ranges was done.

El artículo ofrece evidencia del estudio de los efectos de la aplicación de las Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera (NIIF) en la cuenta de inventarios de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede en Ibarra (PUCE-SI).   La investigación de tipo documental usó el método analítico - sintético para el estudio del ejercicio económico del año 2015, año en el que se aplica por primera vez las NIIF en dicha Universidad. Las normas establecen un mismo lenguaje financiero, lo que facilita la comparación de la información entre diferentes países. Una de las cuentas afectadas por la adopción de estas normas es la cuenta inventario, se modificará el procedimiento para la valuación de inventarios como es el costo de adquisición, repercutiendo directamente en el patrimonio de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES). Con la aplicación de estas normas, igual que sin ellas, las IES están exentas de generar utilidades y del pago anual del impuesto a la renta. La NIC 2 (Norma Internacional de Contabilidad) (parte de las NIIF) no admite la valoración de inventario por el método “últimas en entrar primeras en salir” (LIFO por sus siglas en inglés) sino, el método para la valoración de inventarios “promedio ponderado”. Con este método, las cuentas que estaban consideradas como gasto en el ejercicio económico de 2014 afectó a la cuenta resultados de años anteriores, reflejándose en el patrimonio de la institución según el período objeto de análisis (2015). En este periodo se realizaron los ajustes respectivos para determinar estos cambios.

El autor de este trabajo analiza qué puede aportar la perspectiva de género en el proceso penal en los supuestos de declaración de la víctima como prueba única. Alcanza la conclusión de que en la fase de enjuiciamiento su valor epistémico, suministrando nuevas máximas de la experiencia que permiten valorar las pruebas sin prejuicios, no puede subsanar la insuficiencia de un medio probatorio sobre cuya base, cuando no se encuentra corroborado, no puede entenderse válidamente desvirtuada la presunción de inocencia. No obstante lo cual, destaca que, en estos casos, en la fase investigativa la perspectiva  de género adquiere una notable utilidad heurística, tanto para construir adecuadamente las hipótesis inculpatorias como para buscar otras fuentes  que sirvan para corroborar el testimonio en el futuro juicio oral.

Background: Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) generically known as Aspirin is an analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and also an antiplatelet drug. In order to avoid excessive bleeding and to be on the safer side, dentists have traditionally advised their patients to stop taking aspirin before extraction of teeth although this surgical procedure can be done without cessation of aspirin intake.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to assess the necessity of interrupting aspirin therapy prior to dental extraction.

Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in November 2015 at outpatient department of dentistry, BIRDEM Hospital, Dhaka. Sample of 50 patients who took low dose aspirin (75mg) once daily were purposely selected for this study. The blood pressure of all the subjects was recorded preoperatively. The extractions were done atraumatically under local anesthesia using 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine. A gelatin sponge piece was placed in socket and closed by atraumatic silk. The subjects were instructed to apply pressure pack with sterile gauze for 30 min. Evaluation was done in every 10 minutes for 30 minutes.

Results: Among 50 patients, 82.0% patients were suffering from IHD. Simple extraction was done in 92.0% of patients while the remaining extractions were done surgically. 68% was managed by pressure pack and gelatin sponge while 26.0% were managed by pressure pack only. According to Post-extraction bleeding, it was found that the bleeding time was 10 min in case of 94% patients while only 2% showed 30 minutes of bleeding time.

Conclusion: The study revealed that it is not necessary to alter or stop aspirin therapy and local hemostatic measures are sufficient to control bleeding. Therefore it can be assumed that extraction can be done without cessation of low dose aspirin and avoiding the life threatening issues.

A 15 year old boy was presented with pain in his upper anterior teeth. On clinical examination both the maxillary central incisor revealed slight discoloration and fracture of the crown. Radiographic evaluation revealed open apex of the left central incisor and apex of the right central incisor was fully developed. Apexification with MTA apical plug was carried out in left central incisor and conventional root canal treatment was done in right central incisor. In two months follow up both the tooth were clinically and radiographically asymptomatic and the healing of the apical area of the left central incisor was continued. These finding suggests that MTA can induce formation of apical barrier in the case of non-vital tooth with open apex.

NORTHERN IRISH ADOLESCENTS’ ATTITUDES TOWARDS LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THEM?
Authors: Samanhudi Udi
Published: May 2019

Over the last few decades, scholars concerned with language and education have studied the relationship between adolescents’ attitudes and foreign language learning. This topic has been an important area of study in the field of applied linguistics predominantly from a psychological perspective. This research used secondary data from the Young Life and Times (YLT) and employed a descriptive qualitative research with a cross-sectional design. The Chi-Square test was used in order to test the five hypotheses proposed in this study. This present study found that gender and residential locations were significant factors relating to the 16-year old adolescents’ attitudes toward learning a foreign language. Conversely, this study found that there was no statistically significant evidence of differences among the other three variables (the family affluence, school types attended and religions) in relation to the young people’s attitudes to the foreign language. This finding may be useful as a reflection of how the current modern language learning policy is implemented and how teenagers, especially in the context of Northern Ireland, respond to the policy.Keywords: Adolescents’ Attitudes, Learning, foreign language learning

The discussion aimed to highlight the foundation, the existence, impact, and technical integration of cultural elements into the teaching of English as a foreign language.
