The effect of atmospheric electricity on the operation of fiber-optic communication lines has been studied on an electrophysical installation designed to simulate lightning in laboratory conditions. The change in the polarization state of the linearly polarized radiation transmitted over a fiber-optic cable has been measured using a high-speed polarimeter. During the experiments with a frequency of 100 MHz, a change in the polarization state has been monitored. For the first time, rapid rotations of the plane of polarization, the formation of elliptical polarization, and changes in the angle of ellipticity when exposed to atmospheric discharges on an optical cable have been recorded with precise reference. The effect of maintaining the radiation polarization state when the high voltage is turned off at an electrophysical installation has been discovered.

The results of numerical 3D modeling of freely convective heat-exchange processes in the channels of one of the main variants of a panel-radiant room-heating system with a ribbon finning system have been presented. The spatial distributions of the thermophysical parameters of free-convective air flows have been determined both in the internal and external regions of the system in wide ranges of changes in the basic operating and geometric parameters of the BS. The features of the behavior of the heat-transfer coefficients from the BS heating surfaces to the updraft have been calculated and established. The criterion dependences for calculating the Nusselt numbers on the modified Rayleigh number and other parameters of the vertical channels of the baseboard system have been proposed. A formula for calculating the specific heat removal capacity from the heating surfaces of the system’s internal elements has been obtained. It has been shown that the specific heat-removal capacity nonmonotonously depends on the ratio of the lengths of intercostal gaps in adjacent channels, at certain values of which there is an extremum. The relations between the capacities of convective and radiative heat fluxes generated in the considered heat-exchange system have been established. Recommendations on the choice of basic geometric and operating parameters that can provide an increase in heat removal by 20–30% compared to the practical BSs with a belt finning system have been given.

The work is aimed at creating new scientifically proven technical and technological solutions for the development and implementation of additive manufacturing of products from heat-resistant reinforced composites allowing samples to be created of new equipment and structural products for the aerospace industry surpassing existing analogues in their properties. Samples of the binder used to obtain composites were studied. Studies were carried out using IR spectroscopy with Fourier transform, and a comparison of the bands of stretching and deformation vibrations of the studied sample and classical polydimethylsiloxane was carried out. The dry residue after combustion of the sample was studied using transmission electron microscopy. It was shown that the sample is polydimethylsiloxane filled with silicon dioxide. Chromatograms and molecular-weight characteristics of polydimethylsiloxane were obtained. The soluble part of the sample was no more than 35% in the case of using benzene and tetrahydrofuran as solvents.
