KAPELYUSHNIKOV 144 



The main work of Kantorovich is in theory of functions of a 

 real variable, and to approximate methods of analysis, function- 

 al analysis, semi-ordered spaces, the theory of methods of 

 approximation, utilization of computers, particularly automation 

 of programming, and application of mathematics in planned 

 economic analysis.

KAPELYUSHNIKOV, MATVEI ALKUNO\^ICH (Petroleum 

 Engineer) 



M. A. Kapelyushnikov was born September 13, 1886. He 

 graduated from the Tomsk Technological Institute in 1914, after 

 which he worked at a scientific research institute in Baku until 

 1937 as the Director of the Office of Turbodrilling and Crack- 

 ing. He was awarded the title Honored Scientist of the 

 R.S.F.S.R. in 1947, and was elected to the U.S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences as a Corresponding Member in 1939. 



In 1912 he proposed turbodrilling of oil wells. The first 

 turbodrills had a single-stage turbine and a reducer for di- 

 minishing the speed of the working shaft connected to a drill. 

 Later, a group of engineers under the leadership of P. P. 

 Shumilov developed a multi-stage reducerless turbodrill, which 

 was widely utilized. In 1924-31 Kapelyushnikov, together with 

 V. G. Shukhov, designed and built the first Soviet cracking plant. 

 In 1933, together with S. D. Zalkin, Kapelyushnikov developed 

 pneumatic control of a drilling rig. In 1952, he established 

 the fact that dissolving oil in gas under considerable pressure 

 makes it possible to explain the conditions in the migration of 

 oil and formation of deposits.
