Abstract The article presents the results of the analysis of methodological approaches to the development of a mobile space simulator test facility following a low-budget project under the conditional name Metamorphosis. The project was performed at the Institute of Aeronautics of Riga Technical University together with Cryogenic and Vacuum Systems Ltd., a company specializing in the development and production of vacuum and cryogenic equipment, with extensive experience in creating technologies used in space research, and development and exploitation of the space environment simulation. The main aim of the study is to find an inexpensive outer space simulator test facility. The study shows that the liquid helium, hydrogen, and neon are significantly more expensive substances than liquid nitrogen, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid ammonia, and organic refrigerants (as well as equipment for their liquefaction). It is desirable to consider a nitrogen system for cooling the workspace due to the physical properties of nitrogen and cheap refrigerants for a projected low-cost simulator test facility. The description of the systems that should be included in the projected mobile space simulator is provided in the article. A generalized scheme of the simulator based on a cryogenic system is also presented.

Abstract It has been experimentally shown that in the isothermal mechanocycling of continuous cylindrical samples of saponite–titanium composites under conditions of a complex stress state, a reversible deformation of the properties of martensitic inelasticity is observed, which appears during thermal cycling at intervals of martensitic transformations. According to the results of the experiment, the influence of the ratio between the static and cyclic components of the stress on the change of shear deformation in a complex stress state during mechanical cycling with axial load is estimated.

Abstract To make informed decisions, modern society, like modern business, must operate with adequate information about many complex interrelated aspects of its activities. Land use is only one of such aspects. Agricultural lands are of particular importance today. Land data are needed to analyse environmental processes, as well as end unsystematic, uncontrolled use of agricultural land, environmental degradation, destruction of important wetlands, loss of fish diversity and destruction of wildlife habitats. To solve these problems, it is advisable to conduct regular analysis and evaluation of land resources, justification and analysis of factors influencing the agricultural land market in the country. The tasks were solved using multidimensional statistical methods, in particular, factor analysis, which helped to get rid of subjectivity in the choice of factors influencing the market under study. Based on the model of influence of factors on the national market of agricultural land in Ukraine, six main factors were identified, the most influential of which were the components of agricultural development (first factor) and, to a lesser extent, the component of vegetable production and yield (fourth factor). The interrelationships and the degree of influence of the selected factors on the main indicators of the agricultural land market, namely, on the area of purchase and sale plots, the price of purchase and sale plots, and the number of transactions were also analysed.

Abstract Increase of energy efficiency is Latvia’s national priority and policy instrument that allows reducing consumption of energy and costs, increasing the safety level of energy supply and reducing dependence on import. One of the trends for reducing energy consumption is to increase energy performance of buildings. In compliance with the EU and Latvian political statements, it is required to promote renovation of residential and non-residential buildings. Studies regarding energy performance aspects in the sector of non-residential buildings in Latvia are comparatively rare; however, non-residential buildings form a considerable part of the building stock, and the increase of their energy performance can bring a significant contribution in achieving the national targets. The research analyses the sector of non-residential buildings, their characteristic statistical data, energy consumption and requirements of energy performance standards. To characterise this sector more comprehensively, information on energy performance certificates of buildings issued during the period from 2016 to 2021 has been evaluated, allowing to make general conclusions on the energy performance level of different non-residential buildings and provide proposals for trends to increase their energy efficiency.

Abstract The paper presents a new approach to energy indicator determination, such as specific fuel consumption and energy efficiency of the power plant. The essence of the new method is to determine the instantaneous power of the installation with subsequent data processing. The use of this method allows establishing the dependence of specific energy indicators on the generating unit load levels. The established distribution allows defining optimum parameters of experimental setup and consumption at various loading levels. The highest specific energy consumption of fuel is observed (1189–1297 g /(kW·h) and 962–1147 g / / kW·h)) at the lowest and the highest load for different fuels. Experimental data show that fuel without ethanol impurities can generate more electricity, which should be used at higher demand.

Abstract In this research, density functional theory accompanied with linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) method is applied to study the atomic and electronic structure of wurtzite and rocksalt ZnxMg1−xO pseudobinary compounds in their bulk phases. Calculated band gaps of ZnxMg1−xO solid solutions under study are further validated by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and optical absorption. In agreement with an experiment, it is predicted that increase of Zn content in ZnxMg1−xO leads to narrowing of its band gap for both wurtzite and rocksalt phases. The calculated infra-red (IR) spectra show that the IR peaks are shifted towards larger frequencies along with decrease of Zn content. Presence of imaginary phonon frequencies in rocksalt ZnxMg1−xO of x > 0.625 allows us to suggest that it is necessary to use properly oriented substrates for epitaxial growth to overcome polycrystallinity inZnxMg1−xO thin films at concentration x = 0.4 – 0.6.

Abstract On 4 July 2022, a complex low-frequency solar radio burst was observed in Metsähovi Radio Observatory of Aalto University. The radio burst was observed at a frequency range between 20 and 80 MHz. In GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) class, the event was classified as C5.1. However, coronal mass ejection (CME) was not associated to this event. The observed radio burst was a long-lasting (~10 minutes) event, and it could be mainly classified as type II solar radio event. Also type III solar events were observed before long-lasting type II event. The event includes common frequency drifting emission structures, both fundamental and harmonic structures, but also rarely observed continuum-like or stationary structure. It is assumed that the continuum-like radio emission structure is originated from the stationary flare (coronal) loop, which was visible over the whole event. The drifting emission structure means accelerated electrons, which are produced by the shock related phenomena. The paper provides the observations from this event on radio wavelength, and also soft-X-ray regime and optical wavelength (AIA 171). In addition, a possible, simplified scenario is presented for forming the drifting and continuum solar radio emissions in type II solar burst.

Abstract The paper presents a simulation model developed for a special optical coupler intended for coupling radiation from signal and pump sources used for the realization of cladding-pumped doped fibre amplifiers. The model is developed in COMSOL Multiphysics and used to assess the pumping efficiency for different side pumping angles and different numbers of electromagnetic modes. The obtained results show that the highest pumping efficiency, above 75 %, is achieved for 5–14 modes when two fibres representing the pump source and the signal source form a 10-degree angle between their central axes. The search for the optimal number of modes corresponds to the development trend in optical coupler technology where the multimode pumping by light-emitting diode (LED) replaces the classical scheme with a single-mode pumping by a laser diode (LD).

Abstract Surface potential decay (SPD) of a corona charged polymeric material is a powerful tool to characterise electrical properties such as charge transport, trapping/detrapping and recombination. Over the years, various predictive simulation techniques have been proposed to describe charge transport within the material. Despite recent progress, it appears that there have been a few attempts to theoretically interpret the nature of the charge migration on the insulation surface. The aim of the present paper is to introduce a new technique with differential evolution algorithm (DEA) to reveal the steady state surface potential decay experimental results. Experimental measurement was carried on a thin film of polyethylene terephthalate (thickness: 0.5 mm; surface: 50 mm × 50 mm). The domains of variation of the factors used were respectively: 1000 V to 1800 V; 25 to 55 °C; 50 % to 80 %. The simulation results show that computational modelling and optimization approaches may improve the effectiveness to characterise electrical properties of polymers. More importantly, these studies demonstrate that DEA is effective and performs better than the experimental design method.

Abstract The research is devoted to the elaboration of the wear part contact estimation using 3D surface texture parameters defined in the standard ISO 25178-2:2012 for contact (it is known that elastic contact gives less wear rate) area, friction, and wear rate determination. In our research, the sphere and random flat surface model was used, where the height of surface asperities h(x, y) had a normal probability distribution. As a result of research, the equations for estimation of the elastic contact area were derived and, we obtained conditions at which it was possible to use equations for flat random surfaces. The results of this study could have wide practical application, for example, in design, choosing the geometrical and physical-mechanical parameters of the parts, calculation of real stresses, wear rate and life time of contact parts, etc.
