Research for the Enhanced Oil Recovery Mechanism of Heavy Oil After Composite Huff and Puff Assisted by Edge-Bottom Water Displacement

Abstract In the late stage of exploiting heavy oil reservoirs with edge-bottom water, we are faced with problems such as high crude oil viscosity, channeling of bottom water, and rapid rise in water cut. To clarify the synergistic effect of N2, CO2, N2 foam, and viscosity reducer in water control and oil increase, and solve the problem of edge-bottom water rushing into production wells, one-dimensional sand-pack huff and puff experiments were carried out. First, the N2 foam huff and puff experiment evaluated the effect of N2 foam on controlling bottom water. Then the viscosity reducer-assisted CO2 huff and puff experiment analyzed the synergistic viscosity reduction ability between the two to mobilize the remaining heavy oil. Next, the N2 foam–viscosity reducer–CO2 huff and puff experiment clarified the synergistic effect between the three. Finally, the N2 foam–viscosity reducer–CO2–N2 huff and puff experiment solved the problem of insufficient reservoir energy based on synergistic precipitation and oil increase. Experimental results show that N2 foam–viscosity reducer–CO2–N2 huff and puff is the optimal water control and oil increase solution. This solution can significantly reduce water production and increase oil production. In the one-dimensional sand-pack experiment, this technical solution reduced the water content by 68% and increased the recovery rate by 16.09%. The research results provide a reference for the development of exploitation technology schemes for similar edge-bottom water heavy oil reservoirs after entering high water cut.

Enhancing Sustainable Automated Fruit Sorting: Hyperspectral Analysis and Machine Learning Algorithms

Recognizing and classifying localized lesions on apple fruit surfaces during automated sorting is critical for improving product quality and increasing the sustainability of fruit production. This study is aimed at developing sustainable methods for fruit sorting by applying hyperspectral analysis and machine learning to improve product quality and reduce losses. The employed hyperspectral technologies and machine learning algorithms enable the rapid and accurate detection of defects on the surface of fruits, enhancing product quality and reducing the number of rejects, thereby contributing to the sustainability of agriculture. This study seeks to advance commercial fruit quality control by comparing hyperspectral image classification algorithms to detect apple lesions caused by pathogens, including sunburn, scab, and rot, on three apple varieties: Honeycrisp, Gala, and Jonagold. The lesions were confirmed independently using expert judgment, real-time PCR, and 3D fluorimetry, providing a high accuracy of ground truth data and allowing conclusions to be drawn on ways to improve the sustainability and safety of the agrocenosis in which the fruits are grown. Hyperspectral imaging combined with mathematical analysis revealed that Venturia inaequalis is the main pathogen responsible for scab, while Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum are the main causes of rot. This comparative study is important because it provides a detailed analysis of the performance of both supervised and unsupervised classification methods for hyperspectral imagery, which is essential for the development of reliable automated grading systems. Support Vector Machines (SVM) proved to be the most accurate, with the highest average adjusted Rand Index (ARI) scores for sunscald (0.789), scab (0.818), and rot (0.854), making it the preferred approach for classifying apple lesions during grading. K-Means performed well for scab (0.786) and rot (0.84) classes, but showed limitations with lower metrics for other lesion types. A design and technological scheme of an optical system for identifying micro- and macro-damage to fruit tissues is proposed, and the dependence of the percentage of apple damage on the rotation frequency of the sorting line rollers is obtained. The optimal values for the rotation frequency of the rollers, at which the damage to apples is less than 5%, are up to 6 Hz. The results of this study confirm the high potential of hyperspectral data for the non-invasive recognition and classification of apple diseases in automated sorting systems with an accuracy comparable to that of human experts. These results provide valuable insights into the optimization of machine learning algorithms for agricultural applications, contributing to the development of more efficient and accurate fruit quality control systems, improved production sustainability, and the long-term storage of fruits.

RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF A HYDRATE FORMATION INHIBITOR IN PRODUCTION WELLS IN WESTERN SIBERIA

Operation of the gas transmission system under hydrate conditions leads to the risk of deposits, changes in operating modes and plugging of pipelines and gas transmission equipment. Inhibitors such as methanol and glycols are mainly used to prevent hydrate formation. Less commonly, small amounts of polymer compounds (kinetic inhibitors) are used, which instead of inhibiting formation work thermodynamically, slowing the rate of formation of gas hydrates. However, the problems associated with excessive methanol consumption and the production of products that do not meet the standards for the content of dissolved methanol remain unresolved. These problems can be solved by improving the technological scheme of gas collection and treatment. The article focuses on the use of methanol as a hydrate inhibitor, which effectively prevents this process. It has been shown that in order to optimize the flow rate of methanol, it is necessary to take into account the salinity of formation water. The urgency of the problem is due to the high risks for the normal operation of wells, since gas hydrates can lead to clogging of equipment and pipelines, which in turn can cause emergencies and shutdown of the entire production. The article describes the current status of field development in Western Siberia, including an analysis of reserves and an assessment of production potential. Seven pay zones have been identified in the field, two of which are associated with the Upper Cretaceous deposits, four with the Upper Jurassic and one with the Middle Jurassic. The authors proposed a method for calculating the optimal amount of methanol required to prevent the formation of gas hydrates. The calculations are based on data on the composition of Cenomanian gas, temperature and other conditions in the field under consideration. The study identified critical points where gas hydrates are most likely to form. This made it possible to accurately calculate the required amount of methanol to maintain the hydrate-free state of the wells. The results of testing in the field of Western Siberia showed that the dosing of methanol is an effective means to prevent hydrate formation.

РАЗРАБОТКА ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ СХЕМЫ И ОБОСНОВАНИЕ ПАРАМЕТРОВ ОЧИСТКИ СЕМЯН ЛЮЦЕРНЫ

Despite the high effectiveness of chemical preparations against weeds, this fight begins with the preparation of seed material on seed cleaning lines. An urgent problem in cleaning crop seeds is the isolation of dodder seeds in the preparation of alfalfa seeds. Alfalfa cleaning is a time-consuming process in itself, due to the complex structure of the combine heap. In this regard, it is important to develop a technological scheme for cleaning the alfalfa heap, which will allow you to effectively separate dodder seeds on a par with other impurities. When developing the technological scheme for alfalfa purification, the parameters of the initial heap and its components were determined. When determining the composition of the alfalfa heap, it was found that the alfalfa heap consists of 40-60% of organic impurities, 10% of puny seeds, and up to 10% of the heap consists of unthreshed beans, and the alfalfa seeds themselves in the initial heap are usually no more than 30% of the total weight, it was also determined that weed seeds make up less than 1% of the original weight, nevertheless, the heap contained 0.02% of dodder seeds. On laboratory screens with slotted notches and round holes, the dimensional characteristics of the components are determined. On the sail classifier, the distributions of the components according to the critical speed of vinow were established. The data obtained made it possible to develop a technological scheme for cleaning alfalfa seeds, which allows you to effectively remove dodder seeds with minimal losses. Using the same equipment in laboratory conditions, the proposed alfalfa cleaning scheme was tested, which showed that by combining aspiration and sieve cleaning, it is possible to achieve 99.45% purity of seeds, with losses of no more than 1%, dodder was not found in the final material.

The concept of creating a maneuverable power plant based on a small modular reactor

Purpose. To develop a maneuverable power plant (MPP) based on the NuScale small modular reactor (SMR) by selecting a thermal scheme structure for a steam turbine installation using minimal additional equipment and ensuring its operation in both nominal and peak modes with maximum efficiency. This also includes ensuring its maneuverability through the use of hydrogen technologies for generating, storing, and returning energy to the steam turbine cycle. Methodology. The study employed the method of mathematical modeling of thermodynamic cycles of thermal schemes of steam turbine installations (STI) with concentrated parameters, which makes it possible to describe the dynamics of systems consisting of discrete elements that are thermodynamic systems. Findings. Various structural options for the thermal scheme of the MPP based on the NuScale SMR for nominal operation were developed and mathematically modeled, followed by a comparative analysis of their energy efficiency. As a result, a scheme and operational parameters were selected with the highest electrical efficiency (net), which allows increasing the net efficiency of the NuScale SMR-based power plant from the developers’ announced 28 to 32.8 %. A thermal scheme for the MPP based on the SMR with an energy storage system was proposed. Applying this scheme allows increasing the net efficiency of a power plant based on NuScale SMR in peak mode to 34.8 %. Originality. A concept for creation and schematic solution for a prospective MPP based on an SMR capable of accumulating electrical energy was proposed. The main innovative solution regarding the structure of the technological scheme of the MPP based on the SMR is the organization of its operation in nominal and peak modes, which fundamentally differ in the thermodynamic cycle. In the nominal mode, the steam turbine installation operates on a thermodynamic cycle with steam separation, and in the peak mode without it, by increasing the temperature of fresh steam as a result of burning hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen are produced in an electrolyzer during the power plant’s operation in the nominal mode by using the generated electricity “excess”. Practical value. Small modular reactors are currently mainly in the development stage. Additionally, the non-nuclear part of the SMR-based power plant, namely the STI, has not received sufficient attention, as evidenced by the literature. However, it plays a crucial role in the overall efficiency of the installation. The study focuses on the highly relevant issue of improving the efficiency of an SMR-based power plant by developing the structure of the STI thermal scheme involving hydrogen technologies. This will help reduce dependence on fossil hydrocarbons in the total volume of primary fuel and enable sustainable functioning of the Ukrainian energy system, as well as contribute to the preservation and improvement of the environmental state.

The obtained vitamin D substance, according to its quality characteristics, can be confidently used not only as a material for the manufacture of SS, but also as a starting substance in the pharmaceutical, food and agricultural sectors of the national economy.

Justification of the safe parameters of recreational zones during the reclamation of watered residual quarry spaces

Purpose. To determine the safe parameters of the recreational zones created in the residual space of the quarry taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of waste rocks in a watered state. Methodology. The Bishop Simplified Method is used to determine the influence of the irrigation level of the residual quarry space on the stability of the embankment from different types of mining rocks when creating a recreational area during reclamation works. Findings. The safe parameters of recreational areas during their construction in the watered residual space of the quarry were established taking into account the physical and mechanical properties of embankments made of sand, loam, and crushed rock by determining the stability of their slopes. The obtained results are necessary for the implementation of project works on the development of technological schemes for the reclamation of the residual spaces of construction materials quarry for the recreational direction of post-mining. Originality. The influence of the height of the rock embankment formation on the stable angle of inclination of the watered slope was established, which allowed determining that with an increase in the aggregates embankment height from 20 to 80 m, the safe angle of the slope will decrease from 46 to 26°. It was determined that the lowest FOS indicator is 0.57 when using sand rocks for an embankment height of 80 m at a water content of 40 %. It was established that with partial flooding of the rock embankment by 45–50 % for sandy, loamy and rocky rocks, there is a significant decrease in the coefficient of the reserve of stability by 1.4–1.5 times, in contrast to the absence of water or complete flooding, which confirms the negative impact of partial flooding of embankments and reducing the stability of their slopes. Practical value. It was determined that when forming an embankment 20 m high from loamy rocks, the volume of reclamation works will be 1.34 times less compared to sandy rocks, but 1.02 times larger than rocky rocks. When the height of the embankment increases to 80 m, the volume of reclamation works when replacing loam with sand will increase to 1.87 and 1.12 times when using crushed stone. However, taking into account the market value of materials, when using loam, the cost of construction will decrease by 2.5 times compared to sandy rocks and 3.2 times – to crushed stone, with an embankment height of 20 m. When the embankment height increases to 80 m, the cost of materials will increase by 3.5 and 3.8 times when loamy rocks are replaced by sand or crushed stone, respectively.

Improvement of Phosphorus Removal from Wastewater Through Fermentation of Low-Concentrated Wastewater Sludge and Increased Production of Volatile Fatty Acids

This article presents the results of a two-stage study: the first stage involved assessing the dependence of the increase or decrease in the concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) on external factors and then assessing the relationship between the VFA concentration in the supernatant after fermentation and the processing characteristics (temperature, mixing mode, alkalinity, pH, nitrogen and phosphorus content). The greatest increase in VFAs (content up to 285 mg/L in the supernatant) was achieved at a temperature in the range of 28 to 38 °C with constant mixing of the sludge. Based on the results of the second stage, a conclusion was made on the efficiency of using a particular substrate depending on the concentration of phosphorus phosphates in the incoming wastewater. The study results showed that 7.54 mg/L of phosphorus can be removed with a given probability (for activated sludge, raw sludge and wastewater). It is recommended to compensate for the excess of this concentration by dosing the acetic acid solution at a rate of 3800 meq/L of VFA per 1 mg/L of phosphorus phosphates. The literature does not contain any results of parallel studies of the operation of a controlled bioreactor with artificial external feeding and acidified VFA. The results of the study can be applied in planning sludge acidification systems in the technological scheme of wastewater treatment and sludge processing.

Development of a compact forage harvester equipped with a stem length orienter and rectangular deflector for small farms

The object of the study is the technological processes of high-quality crushing of stem feeds, due to the oriented feeding of stems into the grinding chamber and transportation of the crushed mass through a rectangular deflector. A review of the literature sources has shown that at present, the design and technological scheme of a small-sized forage harvester has not yet been developed, which in turn ensures high-quality crushing of stem feeds and reduces operating costs in small farms. As a result of theoretical studies, analytical expressions were obtained to determine the mass velocity at the deflector outlet and the range of mass ejection in the horizontal section. The combine productivity when mowing alfalfa was equal to 6.22 t/h, the range of mass ejection in the horizontal direction was within 7.5...8.0 m (theoretical value – 7.8 m), the average size of crushed particles was 32.89 mm (estimated length – 33.5 mm), the difference between theoretical and actual values is 1.5 %. The results of laboratory and field tests showed the efficiency of the forage harvester, the reliability of the analytical expressions obtained and the efficiency of the stem length orienter was determined. A distinctive feature of the research results is that a design and technological scheme of a small-sized forage harvester equipped with an orienter and a theoretical description of the feed transportation process through a rectangular deflector were developed. According to the presented design and technological scheme, the deflector and orienter have a simplified design and good quality of crushing stem feeds. All this proves the practical significance and applicability of the developed forage harvester

Study on Surrounding Rock Control of Withdrawal Space in Fully Mechanized Caving Mining of a 19 m Extra-Thick Coal Seam

The section span of the withdrawal space of fully mechanized top coal caving in an extra-thick coal seam is large, and with the gradual withdrawal of the hydraulic support, a series of strong dynamic pressure disasters occur in the withdrawal space, and the difficulty of surrounding rock support control increases sharply. In order to study the control mechanism of surrounding rock in the final mining withdrawal space in detail and put forward a reasonable support technology scheme, taking the large-section withdrawal space of an 8309 fully mechanized caving face in an extra-thick coal seam of a mine as the research object—through the theoretical investigation of whether the key blocks of the main roof are stably hinged under varied stopping coal caving distances and fracture locations of the main roof—the reasonable and optimal stopping coal caving distances and roadway formation time are determined. Using numerical simulation and similar simulation methods, the vertical stress and the maximum shear stress research indicators were introduced to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis results. The results show the following: (1) The reasonable stopping coal caving span is 1~2 times the cycle weighting interval, the best stopping coal caving distance in this geological condition is 30 m, and the best fracture position of the main roof is located above the goaf. (2) The migration of overlying strata in the withdrawal space has obvious zoning characteristics, and the zoning is as follows: a stopping coal caving area, support area of the hydraulic support, withdrawal channel area, and stopping coal pillar area. (3) According to the zoning characteristics of overlying strata movement, the asymmetric zoning support control scheme of the withdrawal space is proposed. The field monitoring results show that the maximum roof subsidence in the withdrawal space is 151 mm, the maximum internal squeezing amount of the stopping coal pillar is 82 mm, and the supporting and anchoring effect of each partition in the withdrawal space is good. The set of partition asymmetric support control schemes has been successfully applied to field practice.

Combined study of Au-bearing arsenopyrite of orogenic gold deposits (NE Asia): High resolution 3D X-ray computed tomography, LA-ICP-MS, and EMPA data

The distribution of gold in small acicular arsenopyrite of a pyrite-arsenopyrite association from Suzdal (Eastern Kazakhstan), Olympiada (Yenisei Ridge, Russia) and large pseudorhombic arsenopyrite crystals from Bazovskoe (Yakutia, Russia) orogenic-type deposits were investigated. On orogenic gold deposits in NE Asia, occurring mainly in black shales, two productive stages of ore deposition are distinguished, which correspond to two morphological varieties of arsenopyrite. At the early stage, fine-grained acicular-prismatic arsenopyrite with invisible gold was deposited; at the late stage, tabular arsenopyrite in association with free visible gold was formed. The samples of gold-bearing arsenopyrite were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Electron Microprobe Analyses, Atomic Absorption and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry in combination with High Resolution 3D X-ray Computed Tomography (HRXCT). HRXCT does not destroy the studied mineral during the investigation. That technique permits to do an estimation of the amount of gold inclusions in minerals or host rocks and draw reasonable conclusions about the gold content of the ores, to study in detail the distribution patterns of metal inclusions (associated with certain minerals, cracks, crystal growth faces, etc.) and to determine the form of the gold. It can be used to understanding of the genesis of productive mineral associations, and to developing optimal technological schemes for gold extraction.

Mathematical Modeling of Forwarder Operation When Collecting Logs in the Forest Swath

Optimization of the machines allows you to increase their productivity and reduce the labor costs for performing individual elements of the technological cycle of their work in the forest. In this regard, the authors offer theoretical studies that take into account the peculiarities of the work of one of the most popular logging machines today, namely, a machine for collecting and forwarding logs (forwarder). The article discusses the technological features of the functioning of these machines, identifies ways to reduce the cost of collecting logs, justifies the rational width of apiaries, which allows collecting logs with a minimum number of movements between work positions. The main purpose of the study is to substantiate the mathematical dependence for determining the rational values of such interrelated parameters of the forwarder's operation as the distance between the working positions of collecting logs and the width of apiaries. The authors propose an analytical approach to solving the problem. On the basis of the standard technological scheme of the harvester's movement through the swath, geometric regularities of the trajectory of the manipulator movement, dimensional characteristics and location of the prepared logs are revealed. As a result of the work, mathematical dependencies are constructed that make it possible to determine the rational values of the desired parameters. The results can be used by research organizations in planning the production process of logging operations. The introduction of author's recommendations into production will contribute to improving the efficiency and operation of forestry equipment.

An Effective Method for Reproducing the Flow of a Gas-Liquid Mixture Using a Flow Standard

The appearance on the market of measuring equipment of multiphase flowmeters used in the oil and gas industry to measure the amount of extracted hydrocarbons directly at wells without preliminary separation and performing the function of operational accounting raised the question of their metrological support in accordance with the requirements of regulatory documents of the sphere of state regulation in this field of measurements. His decision was to create a reference base, the basis of which was the State primary special standard for units of mass flow of gas-liquid mixtures GET 195-2011 and a verification scheme for measuring multiphase flow rates, regulated by GOST 8.637-2013. When transmitting units of volume and mass flow of a multiphase mixture with the required accuracy, the main problem is the difficulty of reproducing and maintaining stability of several flow parameters at once – mass flow and content of liquid components (water and oil simulator) and volume flow of the gas phase. It should also be borne in mind that test programs for the purpose of approving the type of multiphase flow measuring instruments, as well as verification and calibration methods, provide for changing the modes of reproduction of a gas-liquid mixture, covering the measurement ranges of multiphase flowmeters. Such standards used in practice represent a very complex measuring system consisting of storage tanks for components, supply pumping and compressor units, control equipment, mixers and separators, measuring instruments for the physical parameters of multiphase flow components and an automated control system. Given the high cost of multiphase standards, when creating them, effective methods and methods should be used to reproduce the flow of a multiphase mixture with specified parameters, as well as to make a fairly rapid transition to the next mode provided by the program or methodology, which will reduce the time and production costs for the procedure of transferring units of measurement from the standard to the working measuring instrument. This article describes a method for reproducing the flow rate of a gas-liquid mixture according to the original technological scheme introduced during the development of the 1st category standard. Constructive solutions are presented that increase the efficiency of the liquid component separation apparatus to increase the dosing accuracy, as well as expand the range of reproduction of the flow rate and parameters of the multiphase flow, ensuring the consistency of the composition of the liquid mixture at a given regime. An original rational method of compressing and maintaining the pressure of the gas phase is described, which allows you to quickly switch to the next mode, confirmed by the results of experimental studies of the standard.

Among the large number of biologically active substances contained in the fruits of Sophora japonica L., the extraction of flavonoids, substances of medium polarity, is particularly important. The process of extracting them with vegetable oil from fruits is quite complicated. The object of research is the kinetics of the process of extracting flavonoids from Sophora japonica L. fruits with sunflower oil. The influence of temperature, duration, and hydraulic modulus on the extraction process, as well as on the derivation of the equation of the mathematical model, is studied. Mathematical modeling methods are used in the research. Processing of experimental data for the study of extraction kinetics in the vegetable oil:vegetable raw material system is carried out using the Statistica statistical package. In order to derive the equation of the mathematical model of the process of extracting flavonoids from Sophora japonica L. with sunflower oil, the influence of temperature, duration and hydromodulus on the process of transition of the target component – flavonoids to the extract – is investigated. A mathematical model of the dependence of flavonoids on the hydromodulus (H=10–25), temperature (t=25–45 °С) and the duration of the extraction process of Sophora japonica L. (τ=2–10 h) is obtained, which makes it possible to calculate the content of flavonoids with an average relative with an error within 5 %. On the basis of the conducted experimental studies, basic technological schemes for obtaining unrefined sunflower oil of increased biological value are developed, which includes the following stages: preparation of raw materials, treatment of prepared raw materials with sunflower oil during dilution and mixing, separation of oil from raw materials by filtering. The proposed technology is promising, as its implementation is possible not only in food industry enterprises, but also in restaurant establishments, as it does not require expensive equipment, additional production premises and special training of personnel. The mathematical models of the extraction process of Sophora japonica L. with unrefined sunflower oil proposed in the work allow to select the extraction parameters with a high degree of probability and offer the consumer flavonoid-enriched sunflower oil of increased biological value.

МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ТА ОПТИМІЗАЦІЯ РЕЖИМУ ТЕРМООБРОБКИ ТРУБЧАСТИХ ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ ФЕРМЕННИХ КОНСТРУКЦІЙ ЛІТАЛЬНИХ АПАРАТІВ З ВУГЛЕПЛАСТИКУ

The article analyzes the current state of development of dimensionally stable tubular elements (TE) and technological problems arising during their production. It is shown that along with empirical methods of studying the influence of various technological schemes on the dimensional stability of tubular elements, it is useful to use the optimal temperature-time mode for heat treatment and, based on it, select the optimal technological scheme. Modeling and determination of the optimal mode of heat treatment of tubular elements were performed. The study of the TE heat treatment mode was carried out in two stages, first by methods of mathematical modeling and optimization, and then by empirical enumeration of various technological schemes. At the first stage, the material properties, which are parameters of the mathematical model, were studied, and the optimal curing modes were calculated. At the second stage, the calculated optimal curing modes were supplemented with various technological methods that cannot be mathematically modeled, and a study was carried out on the influence of the resulting combined heat treatment mode on the geometric characteristics and dimensional stability of carbon fiber TE. The mathematical model of the process of heat treatment and curing of TE in a heat chamber, when heated by a heating air flow, is a system of differential equations: thermal conductivity and curing kinetics. A mathematical model of the process of heat treatment of tubular elements manufactured by the winding method is proposed, the ways of optimizing the curing mode of carbon fiber TE are shown. A numerical calculation of temperature-conversion fields during curing and calculation of optimal curing modes of tubular elements are performed taking into account various process schemes. The values of heat capacity C and thermal conductivity l are calculated depending on the temperature T, the degree of curing b and the filling coefficient g, Безфітингова ферма з вуглепластику Безфітингова ферма з вуглепластику Безфітингова ферма з вуглепластику the power of heat release W and the thermal effect of the curing reaction Q of carbon fiber. Optimum curing modes for a plate made of composite polymer material are obtained, calculated from the data obtained as a result of studying material samples. Temperature-time curing modes are obtained, which are optimized for different thicknesses of the studied material. The statistical hypothesis about the significance of the influence of the process flow chart and reinforcement pattern on the wall thickness of a tubular element and its compressive strength was proved by the dispersion analysis method. The influence of process flow charts and heat treatment modes on the geometric and mechanical characteristics of carbon fiber tubular elements of aircraft truss structures was studied. The statistical hypothesis about the significance of the influence of the process flow chart and reinforcement pattern on the deviation of the wall thickness of tubular elements and their strength characteristics was tested. The significance of the influence of process flow charts with different heat treatment modes on the average wall thickness of a carbon fiber tubular element was statistically proven.
