The microclimate of buildings forms an integral part of everyone?s life, because each of us spends a part of the day, sometimes more, sometimes less, in the closed premises of buildings. It is a specific part of climate that has a dynamic development and mainly comprises temperature, humidity and concentration of harmful substances in the premises. And one of these is CO2. This paper follows the author's previous publications which also deal with the issue of CO2 concentration in building premises, including the v...

Nowadays the great attention is paid to the cultivation of different mammalian cells. They can be used, for example, for vaccines, monoclonal antibodies or viruses production, in regenerative medicine, diagnostics, for clinical trials and etc. The application of modelling and simulation tools for these purposes is very convenient and perspective in order to decrease the experiments and therefore the total cost for the investigations. In this article, the process cultivation of CHO cells is considered in hollow-fib...

One of the commonly present gas hazard in hard coal mines methane hazard. The most endangered region by this hazard, during ventilation of longwall in ?U from boundaries? system is the crossing with ventilation roadway (so called ?upper corner of longwall?). Accumulation of methane in this place results from its release from goaf. Therefore, in order to decrease methane concentration in this region, auxiliary ventilation devices are used. They are aimed to supply to this place such an amount of fresh air, as to di...

Aerogels production consists of two main stages: preparation of the gel filled with solvent (alcohols, acetone or hexane) by polymerization or sol-gel process and its supercritical drying. The most energy consuming and complicated from a technical point of view is the drying step [1]. Supercritical drying allows keeping the internal structure by preventing collapse of pores. Supercritical conditions require the use of expensive highpressure apparatus and the process rate is limited by diffusion within the pores of...
