KHITRIN, LEV NIKQLAEVICH (Heat Engineer) 



L. N. Khitrin was born February 20, 1907. He graduated in 

 1930 from Moscow University. From 1931 to 1941 he worked 

 at the AU-Union Heat Engineering Institute. He taught at Mos- 

 cow University in 1936 and in 1953 became professor. In 1945 

 he began working at the Institute of Energetics of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. Since 1953 he has been a Corresponding 

 Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He received in 

 1950 a Stalin Prize. 



His main works deal with the physics of burning processes. 

 He worked on the theory of heterogeneous burning, new in- 

 tensive methods of burning, and on complex electro- 

 technological methods of utilizing fuels. He studied carbon 

 burning processes; his results, together with those of A. S. 

 Predvoditelev and others, appeared in 1949 in the treatise, 

 ''Burning of Carbon". He has been engaged in developing new, 

 highly intensive furnaces.
