Search for correlations between the solar-flare disturbances of the earth’s magnetosphere and a flux of cosmic rays detected by the RUSALKA setup

The statistical approach has been applied to the search for correlations between the geomagnetic index K _p and the amplitude of daily variations in the station count rate. The upper limit of variations in the rate due to solar activity was ascertained; it is 1.2% (CL = 99%) for K _p = 8.     

Non-self-maintained gas discharge for flammable gases impact

Investigations on creation of a non-selfmaintained discharge based on electron beam from the electron accelerator EOL-400M for impact on propane-air mixture have been made. Experiments on detection of some plasma and gas parameters have been realized. Works on modeling of electron-molecule processes in propane-air mixture in external electric field and E-beam at different values of stoichiometricity have been realized.     

Dry reforming of methane on porous membrane catalytic systems

A method of high-performance dry reforming of methane into syngas at temperatures below 650 °C on membrane catalytic systems was proposed. The membrane catalytic systems consist of porous inorganic membrane-supports, prepared by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and modified by nanosized metallocomplex components, which are uniformly distributed inside membrane pores. The influence of the composition of the supported active components, temperature, and flow rate on the activity and selectivity of CH₄ and CO₂ transformations into syngas, as well as the dynamics of CH₄ and CO₂ conversion on the membrane catalytic systems were studied.
