KIRILLIN 164 



KIRILLIN, VLADIMIR ALEKSEEVICH (Thermal Physicist) 



V. A. Kirillin was born January 20, 1913. He graduated in 

 1936 from Moscow Energetics Institute. He taught at this Insti- 

 tute in 1938-1941 and again in 1943, and in 1952 became pro- 

 fessor. In 1954-1955 he was Deputy Minister of Higher Edu- 

 cation in the U.S.S.R. In 1954-1956 he was Deputy Chairman of 

 the State Committee on New Technology. He became, in 1955, 

 Chairman of the Department of Science of Universities, Techni- 

 cal Schools, and Colleges of the Central Committee of the 

 Communist Party. He has been Chief of the Laboratory on High 

 Temperatures at the Moscow Institute of Energetics. At the 

 XXth Congress of the Communist Party he was chosen a mem- 

 ber of the Inspection Commission of the Central Committee of 

 the Communist Party. Since 1937 he has been a member of the 

 Communist Party. In 1953 he was elected a Corresponding 

 Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences and in June 1962 

 an Academician. In March 1962, Kirillin was elected to the 

 Council of Nationalities. From 1956 to 1961 he was a member 

 of the Central Committee on Revisions of the Communist Party. 

 He was elected, in 1961, a Candidate Member of the Central 

 Committee of the Communist Party and a Deputy to the 6th 

 session of the Supreme Soviet. He received, in 1951, a Stalin 

 Prize, and in 1959, a Lenin Prize. 



Kirillin has studied thermal and physical properties of heat 

 carriers in power plants, in wide intervals of temperature and 

 pressure. Kirillin has also carried out experimental and theo- 

 retical research of the thermal properties of water and steam. 

 He and his associates developed new standard data on water and 

 steam, necessary for modern designing in super-pressure 

 steam electric power stations.
