construction and operation of the world's first experimental model magneto
hydrodynamic installation (U-02 in 1964) for the direct conversion of heat energy
into electricity and the first such industrial installation (U-25 in 1971.) From 1961
to 1989, he was Founding-Director of the High Temperatures Institute in Moscow
that was created in 1962 to research thermophysical and electrophysical properties
of matter at high temperatures. It is subordinate to the academy's Physical and
Technical Problems of Energetics Department. Lenin Prize, 1959; Recipient of the
State Prize, 1976; Polzunov Prize, 1963. He is currently a member of the Physical
and Technical Problems of Energetics Department Bureau Governing Body. (GSE
29, p. 571.)
Skripov, Vladimir P. In 1982, he received the I. I. Popzuinov Prize for his scientific
work. Corresponding member of the Physical and Technical Problems of
Energetics Department and of the Urals Department since December 1987;
academician in 1993.
Styrikovich, Mikhail A., D. Tech. S. Born November 1902 in St. Petersburg. A high
temperature scientist and thermal power engineer. He was a corresponding member
of the national academy from 1946 until 1964. Since l964, he has been an
academician of the Physical and Technical Problems of Energetics Department of
the academy. Since l965, he has served on the Presidium of the Academy. From
l977, he was a board member of the GKNT General Assembly. He graduated from
the Leningrad Institute of Technology in 1927. From 1928-46, he worked at the
Boiler and Turbine Institute and taught at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute
from 1939-71. From 1939-60 he worked at the Institute of Power Engineering of
the Academy becoming Head of the Department of mass exchange of the
Laboratory of High Temperatures that since 1962 has been called the Institute of
High Temperatures of the Academy. His principal research thrusts are in the
development of heat and power installations, working processes of steam boilers,
problems of heat transfer in boiling liquids under high pressures. He developed
standards for thermal and aerodynamic calculations of boiler units. He has done
research in aerodynamics, heat and mass exchange, scale formations under
conditions of two-phase flow, structure of boiling boundary layers, and mass
exchange and physicochemical processes in magneto hydrodynamic generators. He
is an honorary Vice President of the International Executive Council of the World
Energy Conference and Vice President of the International Center for Heat and
Mass Transfer. In 1988, he was appointed an advisor to the national academy's
Presidium. He is currently a member of the Physical and Technical Problems of
Energetics Department Bureau Governing Body. (GSE 25, p. 183.)
Subbotin, Valerii I., D. Tech S. Born in 1919 in Baku. Russian specialist in high
temperature physics. Corresponding member of the Physical and Technical
Problems of Energetics Department of the Academy since 1968; and, academician
since December 1987. He was made a member of the Presidium in October 1988.
He graduated from Baku Industrial Institute in 1942. From 1943 to 1948, he served
on the board of the Caucasus Power Engineering Complex and from 1948 to 1953,
he was a research worker at the Institute of Power Engineering of the Azerbaiian
Academy of Sciences. In 1953, he joined the staff of the Institute of Physics and
Energetics in the city of Obninsk, becoming Deputy Director in 1969. He is also
Head of the subdepartment of high-temperature physics at the Moscow Physical
Engineering Institute where he became a professor in 1960. Lenin Prize, 1964. He
is currently a member of the Physical and Technical Problems of Energetics
Department Bureau Governing Body. (GSE 25, p. 187.)
Tikhodeev, Nikolai N. Born in 1927. Corresponding member of the Physical and
Technical Problems of Energetics Department of the Academy since 1979;
academician in 1993. He is currently a member of the Department's Bureau
Governing Body.
