When choosing architectural and planning solutions, such climatic factors as air temperature and humidity, having scalar quantities, as well as solar radiation, wind and precipitation having vector characteristics, must be taken into account. The calculated climatic parameters for the design of building enclosing structures, heat loss calculations and heat supply regulation are provided in the current documentation on norms and standards. The practical exploitation of various buildings demonstrates that in terms of initial climatic data, the choice of design parameters is not always efficiently justified; hence, the influence of the environment on the heating regime of the structures is insufficient in the estimations and sometimes erroneous. The wind is one of such climatic parameters. Its velocity and repeatability impact the heat exchange of the building structure with the environment as well as the alteration in temperature regime. The wind current towards the building creates additional pressure on the facade of the construction from the wind side direction. This leads, firstly, to air infiltration via the enclosing structures, and secondly, to the rise of heat exchange from the outer surface of the wall on the windward side. Based on estimated and analytical research, the values of the change in wind velocity depending on the altitude were analyzed, and its influence on the heat loss during heating of multi-storey buildings was assessed. The alterations in the wind velocity depending on the altitude were analyzed in the conditions of dense (urban) and broad construction. Besides, the authors presented the dependence of the convective component of the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface of the structure on the values of the wind velocity. Based on the performed and presented calculations, it can be noticed that the heat transfer of the external structure will be much higher for multi-storey buildings than for mid-rise constructions. Thus, the convective component of the heat transfer coefficient of the outer surface rises by 36 % when the wind velocity increases from 5 m/s to 7 m/s. If not taking into consideration this dependence in the design, it can significantly influence the estimation of heat loss and energy efficiency of buildings, especially when it is about the increased percentage of facades glazing. The authors of the article assessed the heat loss for heating the windward and leeward facades at average values of the outside air temperature during the heating season in Ukraine. Hence, for constructions higher than 70 m with a calculated wind velocity of 5 m/s, heat losses increase from 10 % to 19 %. Such great difference in heat loss between the windward and leeward walls of the building requires increased thermal protection from the prevailing winter winds. Therefore, when designing multi-storey buildings, it is necessary to take into account changes in wind velocity according to the altitude. The obtained results can be useful both for choosing architectural and planning solutions, like the materials for external enclosing structures and for the objective assessment of the wind protection degree of individual buildings and territories.

When conducting thermal tests, the purpose of which is to determine the heat transfer coefficient of the body of an isothermal car K, the study of measurement errors affecting the accuracy of the obtained value plays an important role. The results of such experiments may contain various measurement errors that can introduce significant deviations into the resulting values of the desired coefficient. Obtaining accurate results when conducting this kind of experiments is impossible without a preliminary study of the causes that affect the final result. The article presents the types of measurement errors that affect the accuracy of determining the heat transfer coefficient of the body  of an isothermal car when conducting thermal tests. It was noted that the magnitude of labor costs and energy losses during the further operation of this body significantly depends on the accuracy of the value of this coefficient. It was emphasized that one of the main types of random errors arising from measurements and compliance with the established procedure for conducting typical thermal tests is a voltage drop (“slump”) in the electrical network, leading to significant errors in the calculations of the heat transfer coefficient of the isothermal car body. The values of this coefficient are presented, which were obtained as a result of heat engineering tests performed using the equilibrium mode method and the express method. It is shown that the use of the express method to determine the heat transfer coefficient of the bodies of isothermal cars reduces the risk of random errors due to the minimum experiment duration (from 5.5 h), allows to obtain exact values of the desired coefficient (with an error not higher than 3 % of its value of long-term equilibrium method) and use this data for practical purposes.

In the standard for contact wires made from copper and its alloys, the values of long-term permissible temperatures have significantly decreased. This requires recalculation of previously valid values of long-term permissible currents. Authors considered revised method for calculating the long-term permissible currents, based on a more rigorous consideration of the laws of heat transfer and experimental studies of the conditions of heating and cooling of shaped (contact) and stranded wires. Technique is based on heat balance conditions, using which the sources of greatest inaccuracies become such quantities as cooled surface area, influence of wind direction, meteorological conditions, laws of change in heat transfer coefficient, effect on additional heating of solar radiation. Deviations when these indicators are taken into account by existing methods can cause errors of 40 % or more. Formulas for calculating the actual outer surface of stranded and shaped wires are given. The inadmissibility of calculating the surface area of the wires by their reference diameter is noted. Updated law of the change in heat transfer coefficient for stranded and shaped wires, as well as the degree of its dependence on wind speed and cooled surface, is given based on a summary of extensive domestic and foreign research. It is shown that with the longitudinal direction of the wind, the reduction of this coefficient occurs to a lesser extent than has been assumed so far. Authors propose method for taking into account an increase in the heat transfer coefficient under meteorological conditions characteristic of ice formation. The heat transfer coefficient of shaped and stranded wires in no case can not be taken as for round pipes with smooth surface. Existing method of accounting for solar radiation, which influences the additional heating of wires, leads to an unjustified and repeated exaggeration of this effect, since previously only the radiation incident on the wire was taken into account in the calculations. According to the laws of heat transfer, the temperature of the irradiated body does not depend on the incident, but on the resulting radiation, defined as the difference between the radiations incident on the body and emitted by it in accordance with its temperature. A formula for accounting for such heat transfer is proposed. The above methodology and calculation formulas allow performing reasonable calculations to determine the long-term permissible currents of individual stranded and shaped wires, as well as the contact network as a whole.

The article discusses the process of heat exchange of a finned wall with a coolant. The temperature field in the wall volume was determined on the basis of a numerical solution of the two-dimensional heat conduction problem, and the analysis of the characteristics of temperature distributions was carried out according to the simulation results. The values of the heat transfer coefficient of cooling fins with rectangular cross section were calculated for two variants of heat transfer conditions at the end of the fins in a wide range of dimensionless parameters. The error in calculating the heat transfer coefficient in the approximation of a thin fin was determined by means of a one-dimensional computational model

In the present study, the problem of vapor condensation on a flat vertical surface is investigated in the case of an arbitrary dependence of the dynamic viscosity coefficient on temperature according to a fairly general law. At a constant value of this coefficient and other characteristics of a condensing liquid (heat conductivity coefficient, density) this task was considered by Nusselt in a constant gravitational field. The results obtained by Nusselt formed the basis (with certain modifications) for the computational practice of heat exchange equipment of chemical technology in the presence of steam condensation of any heat carrier. Formation of a condensate film occurs due to heat transfer through the liquid film, vapor condensation at the outer edge of the film and the flow of liquid along the surface. The article generalizes the Nusselt theory for the heat transfer coefficient under the indicated conditions, and as a result, convenient calculation formulas for the heat transfer coefficient, which are necessary to describe the operation of heat and mass exchange equipment. Approximate relations are proposed for calculating the dynamic viscosity coefficient, which are useful for calculating film flow on a flat surface. A comparison is made with the previously used ratios in an approximate manner taking into account the dependence of viscosity coefficient on temperature. When in technical applications one wants to determine the average value of two parameters, which are then used to calculate certain characteristics of a process, then, traditionally, the average of these parameters is considered. This article shows that by simplifying the dependence of the effective dynamic viscosity coefficient, more accurate results are obtained by dividing the interval of the width of the current film in the ratio of three to one, where three fourths refer to the wall temperature, and one fourth to the condensation temperature. The analytical dependencies presented in this paper can be used for practical calculations of the heat exchange equipment.

In earlier work, we used a vertical hot plate as a simple model of the human body, and it was important to determine whether or not our experimental results from the hot plate could really be applied to the body. Recently, thermal manikins have emerged as substitutes for the body, and this work tests whether or not the vertical hot plate can still be used as the substitute. Experiments are done with the abdominal segment of the thermal manikin and the vertical hot plate to investigate the effect of clothing construction factors like the size of air spaces and opening designs, open or closed, on quasi-clothing heat transfer. Results from the two methods agree with each other only when the size of the air space is 20 mm, and it is difficult to reproduce a setup with a precisely sized air space for the thermal manikin. The manikin has more experimental errors than the vertical hot plate, as clarified by results of the vertical hot plate model and the theoretical analysis that follows. The heat transfer coefficient of the open garment case is larger than that for the closed garment case, with proximity to the opening. In addition, the difference in the heat transfer coefficient is largest when the size of the air space is 10 mm. We have verified that the results of the vertical hot plate are helpful in understanding the results of the thermal manikin. Moreover, if the investigation of the effect of certain physical factors on heat transfer of quasi-clothing is performed analytically, it is not absolutely necessary to use a human model of actual dimensions, like a thermal manikin.

The use of advanced heat transfer surfaces (corrugated tubes of various modifications) is an effective way to intensify the heat transfer and improve the hydraulic characteristics of tubular heat exchangers. The methods for evaluating the use of such surfaces as working elements in tubular heat exchangers have not been developed so far. The thermal and hydrodynamic processes occurring in the tubes with the developed surfaces were studied to evaluate the efficiency of heat exchange therein. Thin-walled corrugated flexible stainless steel tubes of various modifications were used in experimental studies. The researches were carried out on a laboratory stand, which was designed as a heat exchanger type "tube in tube" with a corrugated inner tube. The stand was equipped with sensors to measure the thermal hydraulic flow conditions. The comparative analysis of operation modes of the heat exchanger with a corrugated inner tube of various modifications and the heat exchanger with a smooth inner tube was performed according to the obtained data. Materials and methods. A convective component of the heat transfer coefficient of corrugated tube increased significantly at identical flow conditions comparing with a smooth tube. Increasing the heat transfer coefficient was in the range of 2.0 to 2.6, and increased with increasing Reynolds number. The increase in heat transfer of specified range outstripped the gain of hydraulic resistance caused by increase of the flow. Results and discussion. CFD model in the software ANSYS CFX 14.5 was adapted to estimate the effect of the tube geometry on the intensity of the heat transfer process. A two-dimensional axially symmetric computer model was used for the calculation. The model is based on Reynolds equation (Navier-Stokes equations for turbulent flow), the continuity equation and the energy equation supplemented by the conditions of uniqueness. SST-turbulence model was used for the solution of the equations. The problem was solved in the conjugate formulation, which allowed assessing the efficiency of heat exchange, depending on various parameters (coolant temperature, coolant velocity, pressure). The criteria dependences were obtained Nu = f (Re, Pr). Conclusions. The use a corrugated tube as a working element in tubular heat exchangers can improve the heat transfer coefficient of 2.0 - 2.6 times, with an increase in hydraulic resistance in the heat exchanger of 2 times (compared with the use of smooth tubes). The criteria dependences obtained on the basis of experimental studies and mathematical modeling allow developing a methodology for engineering calculations for the design of new efficient heat exchangers with corrugated tubes.

The use and prevalence of heat exchangers in Russian heat supply systems are considered. Attention is paid to the improvement of serial heat exchangers with smooth tubes – the increasing of heat transfer coefficient. One of the ways to increase the heat transfer coefficient is considered: it is the turbuliza-tion of the fluid flow on the heat exchange surface. The original design of the heat exchange surface for shell and tube devices of heat supply systems is presented. The dynamics of the heated fluid in the annular space of a shell and tube heat exchanger when flowing around the heat exchange surface with a modified geometry is studied (RF Patent 149737). A feature of the dynamics is a circular edge (element of the surface of heat exchange), which contributes to the creation of turbulence in the flow of the heated liquid on the plate and on the surface of the next edge. Emphasis is placed on heat ex-change processes between the solid surface of the edges and the heated fluid. For a circular cross sec-tion, the equation of thermal conductivity in cylindrical coordinates is compiled, taking into account the stationary heat exchange process, with an internal source of thermal energy. Solution of equation makes possible to determine the change in temperature on the surface and the average temperature of the edge. This value allows determining the Prandtl number to calculate the heat transfer coefficient.
