In the paper, the assessment of safety of the pipelines elements from the heat and power generating plants of Ukraine made of l 2Kh I MF steel has been presented. The SINT AP procedures for failure assessment have been performed assuming two shapes of hypothetical cracks along the straight segments of pipeline. The thermal stresses during the cooling process have been taken into account in the analysis. The analysis has been performed at the first level of SINT AP procedures. Two stages: a) before pipeline operation and b) after 156000 hours of service work have been analyzed. The comparison of results obtained by other assessment method has been made.

The provided article comprehensively explores the modelling and analysis of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems within the context of thermodynamic energy cycles. The paper provides insight into various applications of these cells, with a specific emphasis on their role as the primary source of electrical energy in systems that work with biogas and heat recovery. The technological structure of these systems is delineated, with a focus on their principal components and the chemical reactions occurring within SOFCs. Moreover, the article incorporates a mathematical model of SOFCs and presents calculation results that illustrate the influence of air and fuel temperature on the cells’ efficiency. The research indicates that optimal SOFC efficiency is attained at higher temperatures of supplied air and fuel. The presentation of the results of calculations for the solid oxide fuel cell and its thermodynamic cycle, considering fuel supply and its thermodynamic parameters under both steady-state and transient conditions, is the main aim of the article.
