Currently, there is an increase in the number of scientific papers on models, methods and software and hardware for image processing and analysis. This is due to the widespread introduction of computer vision technologies into information processing and control systems. At the same time, approaches that provide fast image processing in real time using limited computing resources are relevant. Such approaches are usually based on low-level image filtering algorithms. One of the tasks to be solved in computer vision-based systems is the localization of round objects. These objects have the property of radial symmetry. Therefore, the approach based on the Fast Radial Symmetry Transform, which is considered in this paper, is effective for solving this problem. The paper describes the basic steps of the basic transformation, provides a procedure for determining the centers of radially symmetric areas for localization of round objects in images, and discusses examples of its application.

A numerical simulation was used to investigate heat transfer in plate-fin radiators with round fillet profiles of various depths, including 0.55 mm, 1.1 mm, and 1.5 mm. The issue of flowing air around a radiator with a mass flow rate of 10-3 to 4·10-3 кг/с and a temperature of 293 K was solved. The radiator was heated using a heater, whose temperature was set from 323 to 353 K. Changes in heat flow, pressure drop, and energy efficiency indicator were shown depending on the air mass flow, according to the calculation results. The research findings indicate that the radiator featuring round fillet profiles and a depth of 1.65 mm exhibits the highest heat flow and energy efficiency indicators, as well as the lowest pressure drop.

Using numerical simulation, particle deposition in a porous heat exchanger was studied; the mechanism of sediment formation was sinvestigated, and the influence of sediment on the heat flow was assessed. The influence of porous heat exchanger length, dust particle size, and air flow velocity on particle deposition efficiency, particle breakthrough, and heat flux value was studied. Research results have shown that with increasing length of the heat exchanger, the efficiency of dust particle deposition increases, which leads to the formation of sediment. In turn, the sediment reduces the value of the heat flow from the porous heat exchanger. Depending on the length of the heat exchanger and air velocity, the reduction in heat flow is 3.43-7.27%.

Using numerical modeling, we performed studies of the influence of the angle of inclination of the plates of the regenerative heat exchanger element on the heating time and pressure drop. The studies were conducted for models of heat exchange elements with lengths of 6 and 20 mm. Depending on the length of the element, the angle of inclination of the plates was: 10°, 20°, 30°, 40° (at L=6 mm) and 3°, 6°, 9°, 12° (at L=20 mm). At the boundary of the calculation area, the air flow velocity and temperature were established, namely 1 and 3 m/s, and 303 and 973 K. The research results demonstrated that increasing the angle of inclination of the plates helped reduce the heating time of the regenerator by 38.56-49.1%, depending on the length of the heat exchange element, the speed and temperature of the air flow.

Using numerical simulation, we carried out studies on the effect of the length of a porous heat exchanger on the deposition of dust particles. The heat exchanger models with lengths of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm were the subject of the studies. At the boundaries of the computational domain, we set the air velocity at 0.1, 1, and 5 m/s and the diameter of dust particles from 10-7 to 10-4 m. Research results have shown that with increasing length of the porous heat exchanger, the efficiency of dust particle deposition increases. This can lead to a decrease in the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of the heat exchanger.

During the construction of the gravity foundation, new compositions of heavy high-strength modified concretes with the use of microsilicon and nanocarbon additives were used. During the construction process, adjustable formwork was used along the entire height of the structure.
