The article presents the results of numerical simulations and experimental studies of a liquid-liquid ejector with a curved initial portion of the mixing chamber. The experiment was conducted on liquid-liquid ejectors, models of which are made on a 3D printer, by the method of layer-by-layer deposition. The influence of possible manufacturing errors of the ejector on its characteristics is estimated. The issues of the use of liquid ejectors designed to work in the field of various predetermined ejection coefficients are considered. The theoretical ejection coefficient and the reasons for reducing the ejection coefficient in real ejectors are determined. The obtained dependences make it possible to determine the optimal design parameters of a liquid ejector and thereby increase its ejection coefficient. The relative pressure drop is shown at a low coefficient and at a high ejection coefficient. The calculated and experimental results of determining the ejection coefficient for liquid ejectors, which are widely used in various fields of technology, are presented. The results of numerical simulation of internal processes in the ANSYS-Fluent hydro-gasdynamic application package flowing in a single-phase liquidliquid ejector based on the study of a small-sized model are presented. As a result of the simulation, a good agreement was obtained between the calculation results of the model corresponding to the real prototype and the experimental data and comparison with the results of other authors. Several conclusions can be drawn from the results of the study. For example, a region of values of the ejection coefficient was found in which the relative pressure drop created by the ejector increases with an increase in the ejection coefficient.

Introduction. Rational parameters and modes of an inclined batch screw mixer are validated to achieve the lowest energyintensive feed mixing under observance of the zootechnical requirements for the feed quality on uneven mixing. The establishment of functional dependences between parameters and modes enables to design power-efficient equipment for the on-farm feed production.Materials and Methods.Experimental studies of the feed mixing were implemented on an inclined screw batch feed mixer. The experimental design included variation of four independent factors: mixer shaft speed, filling ratio of the mixing chamber, mixing time, and mixing chamber angle. Mixing irregularity and energy intensity of the process were taken as optimization criteria characterizing the mixing efficiency.Research Results.The optimization criteria versus the variability level factor, which are two-dimensional sections of the second-order response surfaces, are plotted. The rational values at mixing irregularity of less than 5% were as follows: mixer shaft speed was 27.5-36.5 min-1 , filling ratio of the mixing chamber was 0.43–0.51, mixing time was 3.0–4.2 min, mixing chamber angle was 22°–25°. At such parameter values, the mixing irregularity will be minimal, and it will be 4.10– 4.18%, and the process intensity is from 2.08 to 2.16 kW • h/t.Discussion and Conclusions.The dependences obtained as a result of the experimental studies allowed establishing the domain of rational design parameters and modes of an inclined batch screw mixer. The results obtained can be used in further studies under the development of initial requirements for the creation of new technical means with a gravitation effect of intensive mixing.

Agricultural boom sprayers are equipped with injection sprayers of mainly foreign origin. The main parameters of the injection sprayers shown in the catalogs display the consumption characteristics in cer­tain ranges without taking into account the design parameters.(Research purpose)Determination of the design and technological parameters of an injection sprayer for the introduction of pesticides.(Materials and methods)The injection sprayer belongs to the class of two­phase liquid­gas isothermal jet devices with the formation of an air­gas mixture at the outlet. It has been established that the design model of the working process of an injection sprayer is based both on the laws of the conservation of mass, energy, momentum, as well as theoretical relation­ships in the form of equations describing two­phase jet devices, and empirical relationships characterizing flow parameters, geometric transverse and longitudinal dimensions of the spray channels.(Results and discussion)The following analytical relationships have been obtained: the relative pressure difference generated by an injec­tion sprayer and the volume injection coefficient for different surface area ratios of the working nozzle to the flow section of the sprayer; the ratio between the cross­sectional area of the mixing chamber to the area of the working nozzle outlet and the injection ratio; relative pressure difference and the injection ratio; the ratio be­tween the cross­sectional area of the mixing chamber and the working nozzle and the relative pressure difference. The authors have determined a set of dimensionless pressure characteristics of the injection sprayer for different ratios between the cross­sectional areas of the working nozzle and the mixing chamber. It has been established that the ratio between the cross sections of the mixing chamber area and the working nozzle area increases as the injection ratio increases. It has been shown that for each injection coefficient, there is an achievable relative pressure difference in the injection sprayer.(Conclusions)The authors have proposed the design equations that determine the characteristics of an injection sprayer and its main design parameters – the diameters of nozzle and mixing chambers. They have calculated the main dimensions of the sprayer for aerial top­dressing by introducing working solutions of pesticides.

Abstract The heat transfer and pressure drop in a microchannel heat sink with 02 mixing chambers with inclined walls were numerically studied. The transport equations have been resolved by the finite volume method using ANSYS Fluent software. The operating fluids are water and Al2O3-water. The results obtained for Reynolds numbers ranging from 187 and 705 show that adding a micro-mixing chamber with a rectangular rib in the microchannel improves the heat transfer and increases the pressure drop compared to conventional microchannels. The new shape of the mixing chamber studied shows a net decrease in pressure drop, which improves the performance of the micro heat sink by 5.6%.

AbstractFlow distributor located at the beginning of the micromachined pillar array column (PAC) has significant roles in uniform distribution of flow through separation channels and thus separation efficiency. Chip manufacturing artifacts, contaminated solvents, and complex matrix of samples may contribute to clogging of the microfabricated channels, affect the distribution of the sample, and alter the performance of both natural and engineered systems. An even fluid distribution must be achieved cross-sectionally through careful design of flow distributors and minimizing the sensitivity to clogging in order to reach satisfactory separation efficiency. Given the difficulty to investigate experimentally a high number of clogging conditions and geometries, this work exploits a computational fluid dynamic model to investigate the effect of various design parameters on the performance of flow distributors in equally spreading the flow along the separation channels in the presence of different degrees of clogging. An array of radially elongated hexagonal pillars was selected for the separation channel (column). The design parameters include channel width, distributor width, aspect ratio of the pillars, and number of contact zone rows. The performance of known flow distributors, including bifurcating (BF), radially interconnected (RI), and recently introduced mixed-mode (MMI) in addition to two new distributors designed in this work (MMII and MMIII) were investigated in terms of mean elution time, volumetric variance, asymmetry factors, and pressure drop between the inlet and the monitor line for each design. The results show that except for pressure drop, the channel width and aspect ratio of the pillars has no significant influence on flow distribution pattern in non-clogged distributors. However, the behavior of flow distributors in response to clogging was found to be dependent on width of the channels. Also increasing the distributor width and number of contact zone rows after the first splitting stage showed no improvement in the ability to alleviate the clogging. MMI distributor with the channel width of 3 µm, aspect ratio of the pillars equal to 20, number of exits of 8, and number of contact zones of 3 exhibited the highest stability and minimum sensitivity to different degrees of clogging.

Исследование направлено на разработку и апробацию методики численного моделирования аэродинамических и энергетических характеристик циклоидального ротора. За основу взята конфигурация ротора IAT21 L3. Для нее с использованием CFD-пакета ANSYS Fluent построена математическая модель и выполнен расчет. Проанализировано влияние скорости набегающего потока воздуха на движущийся ротор. Математическая модель и полученные результаты исследования могут быть использованы при создании летательных аппаратов с движителями роторного типа. This article addresses the study of the aerodynamic and energy characteristics of a cycloidal rotor subject to the influence of the incoming flow. Cycloidal rotor is one of the perspective devices that provide movement of aircrafts. Despite the fact that the concept of a cycloidal rotor arose in the early twentieth century, the model of a full-scale aircraft has not been yet realized. Foreign scientists have developed models of aircraft ranging in weight from 0.06 to 100 kg. The method of numerical calculation of the cycloidal rotor from the article [1] is considered and realized in this study. The purpose of study was the development and testing of a numerical simulation method for the cycloidal rotor and study aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the rotor in the hovering mode and under the influence of the oncoming flow. The aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the cycloidal rotor, rotating at a speed of 1000 rpm with incoming flow on it with velocities of 20-80 km/h, were calculated. The calculation results showed a directly proportional increase of thrust with an increase of the incoming on the rotor flow velocity, but the power consumed by the rotor was also increased. Increase of the incoming flow velocity leads to the proportional increasing of the lift coefficient and the coefficient of drag. Up to a speed of 80 km/h, an increase in thrust and power is observed; at higher speeds, there is a predominance of nonstationary effects and difficulties in estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotor. In the future, it is planned to consider the 3D formulation of the problem combined with possibility of the flow coming from other sides.

The paper presents the results of numerical experimental studies of cutting titanium blanks using mathematical modeling programs, which make it possible to completely repeat technological processes in a computer (digital twin). The LS-DYNA product was used as a program to simulate the process of stock removal from titanium blank. It has been established that the use of this method adequately describes the cutting processes, including with the introduction of the energy of an ultrasonic field into the processing zone, can significantly reduce the duration of experimental research and evaluate the influence of the elements of the cutting mode and design parameters of the tool on the thermal power aspects of the formation of new surfaces of machine parts.

There are style guidelines for authors who highlight important words in static text, e.g., bolded words in student textbooks, yet little research has investigated highlighting in dynamic texts, e.g., captions during educational videos for Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) users. In our experimental study, DHH participants subjectively compared design parameters for caption highlighting, including: decoration (underlining vs. italicizing vs. boldfacing), granularity (sentence level vs. word level), and whether to highlight only the first occurrence of a repeating keyword. In partial contrast to recommendations in prior research, which had not been based on experimental studies with DHH users, we found that DHH participants preferred boldface, word-level highlighting in captions. Our empirical results provide guidance for the design of keyword highlighting during captioned videos for DHH users, especially in educational video genres.

Рассматриваются результаты проведения экспериментальных исследований способа удаления окалины с поверхности стального листового проката. Предложен новый способ и устройство для очистки поверхности листового проката от окалины режущими пластинами, вращающимися вокруг оси, перемещающейся поступательно вдоль обрабатываемой поверхности. Пластины наклонены в направлении вектора вращения на угол до 10 градусов и упруго поджимаются к обрабатываемой поверхности. Это обеспечивает возможность в процессе очистки поверхности воспроизводить макронеровности листового проката. Приведены результаты экспериментальных исследований, построены математические и графические зависимости, описывающие влияние факторов процесса на эффективность очистки поверхности проката. Показано, что наиболее значимое влияние на параметр оптимизации оказывает сила воздействия инструмента на поверхность заготовки. Причем это влияние реализуется в прямо пропорциональной зависимости. Другие исследованные факторы, а именно: угол наклона пластины, скорость ее вращения и подача, оказывают значительно меньшее влияние на степень очистки проката. Эти исследования были необходимы с точки зрения определения конструктивных параметров силовых элементов как технологической оснастки, реализующей указанный способ, так и технологической установки в целом. План эксперимента был принят, исходя из реальных производственных возможностей индустриального партнера, и соответствовал классическим представлениям теории резания. Описанные результаты дают возможность планировать дальнейшие эксперименты по изучению направлений использования данного способа Here we consider the results of experimental studies of the method of removing scale from the surface of steel sheet products. We propose a new method and device for cleaning the surface of rolled sheets from scale by cutting plates rotating around an axis moving translationally along the treated surface. The plates are tilted in the direction of the rotation vector at an angle of up to 10 degrees and are elastically pressed to the treated surface. This makes it possible to reproduce the macro-dimensions of sheet metal during the surface cleaning process. We present the results of experimental studies. We constructed mathematical and graphical dependences describing the influence of process factors on the efficiency of cleaning the rolled surface. We show that the most significant influence on the optimization parameter is exerted by the force of the tool's impact on the surface of the workpiece. Moreover, this influence is realized in a directly proportional relationship. Other factors studied, namely the angle of inclination of the plate, its rotation speed and feed, have a much smaller impact on the degree of cleaning of rolled products. These studies were necessary from the point of view of determining the design parameters of the power elements of both the technological equipment implementing this method and the technological installation as a whole. We adopted the experimental plan based on the real production capabilities of the industrial partner and corresponded to the classical concepts of the cutting theory. The described results make it possible to plan further experiments to study the directions of using the method
