Ponomaryov Vyacheslav	Donetsk National Technical University Physical and Metallurgical Faculty The Department of Technical Thermophysics Specialty: Technical heat engineering	Subject of master's work: Optimisation of heat-work at continuous casting machines (CCM) Scientific adviser: Biryukov A.

Summary of research and developments

Introduction (Motivation)
I think, that it is difficult to overestimate the actuality of my work at the moment. Level of development and understanding of metallurgical production as a whole and heat-engineering in particular in Ukraine can be characterize shortly: 'outdated'.
So in my work I pay a lot of attention to unknown and unused in Ukraine aspects in the work of very active-used machine - Continuous Casting Machines (CCM).

Survey of research and developments
I am sure, that research, which were done during experimental part of my work, will help to know and control heat-processes, which are going during work of CCM, better.

Main planned results
As a whole, every research and innovation, which are sugested in my work, have the point: to raise the percentage of effective articles.
