The XX international scientific and technical conference "mechanics of fluids and gases in engineering practice" was held on May 27-28 at NTUU "KPI".
The session was attended by over 80 scientists and practitioners, 120 reports were presented and discussed.
On the opening day, participants heard 9 plenary papers: "the Main scientific directions and schools, presented at the conference "fluid Mechanics in engineering practice" (Ph. D., Professor A. M. Yakhno), "the Problem of improving the operational characteristics gear pumps" (chief designer of JSC "Hydrosila". V. Sukovic), "Heart – engineering solutions..." (MD, Professor, honored science and technology worker of Ukraine. V. B. Maximenko). "Methods for calculating flows poly-air-gas mixtures. A practical implementation of dedusting systems in the modern workplace" (Deputy Director of LLC "Sigma Engineering" S. E. Babich, Kiev), "Design of hydraulic machines of volumetric drives for mobile equipment" (Ph. D., Professor, A. I. Panchenko, Tavria state agrotechnological University, Melitopol), "Status and perspectives of renewable energy sources" (Ph. D., Professor, Deputy Director for scientific Affairs of the Institute of renewable energy of NASU, S.
