(Research purpose) To develop and study a new kinematic scheme of a mobile vehicle based on a self-propelled tractor T-16 chassis, which provides increased reliability, comfortable working conditions for the operator, a significant improvement in the environmental situation, and better economic efficiency. (Materials and methods) The authors listed the advantages of the new hybrid vehicle kinematic scheme. They gave the comparative technical characteristics of a diesel engine and an asynchronous electric motor. They developed a new methodology for calculating gas turbine engine technical parameters and described the production process of an electric drive with a capacity of 11 kilowatts to drive the driving wheels. The authors gave a thermal design of the compressor parameters, turbine. They calculated the excess air ratio. According to the parameters obtained, a K27-145 turbocharger was chosen, which simultaneously served as a turbine and a compressor of a gas turbine engine. A kinematic diagram was created with a gas turbine electric generator, storage batteries, an asynchronous frequency-controlled motor and a mechanical gearbox. (Results and discussion) The authors proposed to use a mobile vehicle as a mobile power plant: an output socket with a voltage of 220-230 volts operated from an inverter connected to batteries; the second socket – with a three-phase voltage of 400 volts – from the generator of the power gas turbine plant. (Conclusions) It was proved that the proposed hybrid mobile vehicle design on a battery and a gas turbine was capable of operating throughout the entire working day, and to provide 16 horsepower of a diesel engine, it was enough to install an asynchronous electric motor with a capacity of 7.5 kilowatts. The authors calculated the compressor performance of the gas turbine engine, which was 0.178 kilograms per second. The geometric parameters of the combustion chamber and the technical characteristics of the turbocharger were determined.

increasing the efficiency of the power plant. A method of controlling the supply of cryogenic fuel to a gas turbine engine is to pump its liquid phase, followed by its separation into two parts and controlling the flow rate of each part. Heated the first part of the cryogenic fuel to a gaseous state in the heat exchanger, mixing it with the second part and feeding the resulting mixture of cryogenic fuel into the combustion chamber. The first part of the cryogenic fuel flow rate is passed through the heat exchanger Gta = Gsm [Ср_sm (Тfp + T) il] / [ig il], where Gsm is the consumption of cryogenic fuel at the outlet of the mixer, Ср_sm is the isobaric heat capacity of cryogenic fuel at the outlet from the mixer, Тfp is the temperature of the phase transition of cryogenic fuel from liquid to gas at a pressure in the mixer, T is the temperature of the gas mixture of cryogenic fuel at the outlet of the mixer above the temperature of the phase transition, il is the enthalpy of the first part of the liquid phase of cryogenic fuel at the input ode to the heat exchanger and the second part of the liquid phase of the cryogenic fuel, which is fed to the second entrance to the mixer, ig is the enthalpy of the gaseous phase of the cryogenic fuel at the outlet of the heat exchanger, at which it is fed to the first entrance to the mixer. Moreover, ig Ср_sm (Тfp + T) il and Gsm = Gta + Gl, where Gl is the flow rate of the second part of the liquid phase of the cryogenic fuel, which is fed to the second input to the mixer. When the pressure of the cryogenic fuel in the mixer is below the critical value Pkr, the temperature Тfp of the phase transition from liquid to gas of the cryogenic fuel is taken equal to the temperature Тnas on the saturation line of the cryogenic fuel at the corresponding pressure in the mixer. The excess of the temperature of the cryogenic fuel mixture over the phase transition temperature after mixing the gas and liquid phases at the mixer outlet sets T = 60 ... 170 for cryogenic methane and T = 150 ... 260 for cryogenic hydrogen. Due to the gasification of a part of the cryogenic fuel consumption in the heat exchanger and subsequent mixing of this part with the second liquid part of the cryogenic fuel in the mixer, the freezing of the outer surface of the heat exchanger in all operating modes of the power plant is reduced. Due to the reduction of external freezing of the channels of the heat exchanger, the heat transfer efficiency is increased in it. By reducing the dimensions of the heat exchanger, the hydraulic losses in the gas-dynamic path of the power plant are reduced, which, in turn, increases its efficiency. By lowering the temperature of the gas phase of the cryogenic fuel at the inlet to the combustion chamber, the temperature of the exhaust gases at its outlet is reduced, which, in turn, increased the reliability of the gas turbine of the power plant. The method of operation of the cryogenic fuel supply system is intended for ground-based power plants and vehicles. The work is intended for scientists and designers in the field of cryogenic fuels for internal combustion engines.

Increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of a gas turbine engine can be achieved through a comprehensive review of all tasks that determine the parameters and characteristics of an aircraft power plant and aircraft. An important place in this complex is occupied by the problem of obtaining the most efficient traction and power plant based on the integration of the parameters and characteristics of the nacelle and gas turbine engine, consisting of a universal gas generator module and a turbofan module. Reducing the negative impact of the engine nacelle module on effective traction and effective specific fuel consumption is an urgent problem that can be solved based on the results of studies of the integration parameters and characteristics of the engine nacelle of the gas generator module and the gas turbine engine with the turbine-fan extension module, namely, with the implementation of structurally layout diagram of a gas turbine engine with a modular design with a rear arrangement of a turbofan attachment. For modern power plants with bypass gas turbine engines with a large bypass ratio, the external resistance is 2-3 % of the engine thrust during cruising operation. The results of experimental studies have shown that the external resistance of power plants with bypass gas turbine engines of modern supersonic aircraft is 4-6 % of the engine thrust during cruising operation. The paper considers the issues of aerodynamic integration of a gas turbine engine and a nacelle of an aircraft power plant. Aerothermogasdynamic integration of a gas turbine engine and an aircraft provides for the coordination of the parameters of the working process and the characteristics of the gas turbine engine and the parameters and characteristics of the nacelle of the aircraft in order to obtain optimal parameters and characteristics of the aircraft in the design flight conditions. The dependences of the relative effective thrust on the flight velocity are obtained. The obtained dependencies show the influence of the external resistance of the engine nacelle on the effective thrust of the bypass engine at subsonic flight velocities. The calculations were performed to lengthen the nacelle in the range from 4 to 8.

The paper considers the use of diesel-electric power plants on mobile vehicles, analyzes their use and application. Comparative power and mass characteristics of diesel and gas turbine power units are given; the positive and negative aspects of their use are shown. The efficiency of the introduc-tion of gas turbine engines on tractors of various traction classes for agricultural purposes has been determined and a new kinematic diagram of the power plant of a mobile vehicle has been devel-oped. An analysis was carried out and it was established that gas turbine agricultural equipment was never produced in Russia. There were carried out the individual experimental studies of not of a systemic nature, which were terminated for reasons independent of the result. The aim of the work is to develop an innovative kinematic diagram with an electric drive and a power unit based on a gas turbine engine for a mobile agricultural vehicle, using the latest advances in science and technology in terms of the development of gas turbine technologies. It has been established that the mass-energy characteristics of gas turbine plants are much better than diesel ones: the level of vibration is significantly lower, the torque of the power plant at low speeds is higher, the operation of the tractor is simpler. All these open up wide prospects for their use on mobile agricultural vehicles. Experimental studies on the processing of 1 hectare of area in terms of economic efficiency have shown the indisputable advantage of an almost laboratory model of a tractor with a gas turbine en-gine, relative to the same tractor with a diesel engine, which has been produced for many years, ex-pressed, despite a slightly higher fuel consumption, in the use of cheaper kerosene.

This paper describes the general requirements and past design practices on airborne gas-turbine-driven auxiliary power units, and in addition describes a new solution to the problem — installation of an APU in a streamlined pod. The unit was designed and developed by Solar Aircraft Company for use on the Convair C-131B airplane. Normally two complete pod units are used per airplane, one mounted beneath the wing on each side of the fuselage. Each is attached by means of a standard bomb shackle. Provisions have been made for jettisoning the unit in case of emergency. The paper describes the advantages of a gas turbine as the prime mover in airborne APU applications, the nature of the gas-turbine engine chosen, and its control system.
