Head of the department academician of NAS of Ukraine, Doctor of Technical Sciences, professor.
Yu.M. Matsevity graduated from Engineering and Physical Faculty of the Kharkov Polytechnical Institute, works in the education since 1957. He began the labor activity at the Kharkov Polytechnical Institute. Now he is director of the A.N.Podgorny Institute for Mechanical Engineering Problems of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
The main scientific results, received by Y.M. Matsevyty, are stated in more than 500 scientific works, including in 17 monographs. He developed bases of the theory of modeling of processes of a heatmass exchange on hybrid systems of middle class, offered methods of the solution of nonlinear problems of the heat conductivity used for research of temperature fields of elements of turbomachines and processing equipment. Many years he conducts researches of work of the power equipment, directed on increase of its reliability, maneuverability, profitability and extension of terms of functioning. Y.M. Matsevyty is the initiator of works on thermal diagnostics and forecasting of a thermal condition of power units on the basis of interpretation of experimental data. Much attention he pays to development of the theory of the return problems of heat exchange. He offered original methods of the solution of incorrect return problems of heat exchange and methods of regularization of their decisions. Y.M. Matsevity is the founder of the Kharkov school of the return problems. The structure of his scientific interests includes also questions of nonconventional energetics, heatpump equipment, resource-and energy saving, ecological aspects of energetics.
Yu. M. Matsevity carries out big scientific and organizational work, gives many efforts to questions of integration of science and education. On his initiative in educational process of department of a gas-hydromechanics and a heatmass exchange the course is select on deep application of possibilities of Institute of problems of mechanical engineering and other NAS institutions of Ukraine, thanks to what students get acquainted with modern achievements of domestic science and plunge into the sphere of scientific researches. For improvement of quality of assimilation of a lecture material and obtaining practical skills in the solution of tasks by students he prepared and published about 20 methodical instructions.
Yu. M. Matsevity prepared 27 candidates and 11 doctors of science. He is the chairman of scientific council of NAS of Ukraine on scientific bases of thermal engines, the member of national committee of Ukraine on a heatmass exchange, the member of the Interdepartmental commission on questions of scientific and technological safety at National Security council and defenses of Ukraine, the chairman of specialized council on award of scientific degrees in the specialty 05.14.06 “Technical thermophysics and industrial heat power engineering”.
Yu.M. Matsevity’s scientific and scientific and organizational work is noted by award of Yaroslav the Wise V degree, the State awards of the USSR and Ukraine, awards of NAS of Ukraine, a rank “The honored worker of science and equipment”, the Certificate of honor of Presidium of the Supreme Council of USSR.
