A measuring complex of spectral instrumentation for examination of the ingredient composition, optical characteristics and microstructure of the dispersed phase of the combustion products of energy fuels and atmospheric anthropogenic emissions is discussed. The measuring complex includes a multi-pass cell with external and internal electric heating, which makes it possible to change the temperature of the radiation propagation medium in a multi-pass cell in the temperature range of 300-800 K, in the pressure range of 1*10 2 ≤ P ≤ 3*10 6 Pa with optical path L = 2, 4, 6, ... 30 m. Registration of spectra is performed by an upgraded spectrometer IKS-31 with interchangeable sources and radiation receivers, interchangeable diffraction gratings and cut-off light filters, interchangeable quartz windows, CaF2, LiF, MgF2, IKS-25, KRS-5, ensuring their operation in the spectral region of 0.2-100 μm with the spectral resolution limit Δ = 0.2 cm -1 . The measuring complex has a complete metrological assurance. The obtained data on the spectral dependences of the effective cross sections for absorption, scattering, and attenuation of radiation are used to restore the microstructure of the dispersed phase of the combustion products. The atmospheric emissions of combustion products of wood, industrial energy, air carriers, decomposition products of asbestos-cement slabs during their calcinations were analyzed.

The results of an experimental study of the optical characteristics and microstructure of the dispersed phase of the products of combustion of organic fuel in oxygen and atmospheric air are analyzed. For gaseous fuels CmHn, the concentration of soot sol increases with an increase in the ratio of elements Cm / Hn. The microstructure of soot sol strongly depends on the residence time of the combustion products in the flame zone (chemical reaction zone) and the thermodynamic temperature. The maximum ash content is observed at thermodynamic temperatures of 1500-1800K zone of chemical reactions. The minimum ash content is observed when burning fossil fuels in oxygen with a value of the coefficient of excess oxygen α = 1,03. A technique is proposed for measuring the microstructure of soot sol in atmospheric emissions of the combustion products of turbojet engines, vehicles, and power plants. The results of studies of the microstructure of the dispersed phase of fuel combustion products are used to calculate the light scattering matrices of carbon black sol according to the Mi theory. The radiation characteristics of soot sols are simulated by their superposition for different fractions i of the sol microstructure with normalization to optical density |τi| and a wavelength of λ = 0.55mkm. The optical densities |τi| for λ=0,55mkm for components i are given in numerical form depending on the height z in the combustion chamber. The radiation characteristics (absorption, scattering cross section and scattering indicatrix) are presented in the spectral region of 0.2–40mkm in the form of an electronic computer database for various gamma distributions of the carbon structure of soot sol.

A method for numerical modeling of incoming solar radiation fluxes their functioning to determine the efficiency of solar thermal and power plants. The solar fluxes are calculated by stacking layers in a multi-stream approximation, taking into account the multi-tiered cloud cover and the probability of overlapping the sky with clouds. The absorption of radiation by the gaseous phase of the atmosphere is taken into account by the method of equivalent mass in an inhomogeneous atmosphere. The optical characteristics of the dispersed phase of the atmosphere are calculated using the Mie theory.RESULTS. An electronic database has been created on the optical characteristics of the gaseous components of the atmosphere, the optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol and clouds. The effect of anthropogenic impact on the flux of solar radiation falling on the underlying surface is taken into account. The developed modeling takes into account the effect of humidity on the optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol and its multicomponent composition, depending on the location of the power plant.CONCLUSION. The information necessary for numerical modeling of meteorological effects on the functioning of solar thermal and power plants is generalized. When calculating solar radiation fluxes, direct illumination of the light-receiving surface by solar radiation, scattered radiation by atmospheric aerosol and clouds are taken into account.
