Paddle mixers with horizontal shafts are common at building materials enterprises for the preparation of concretes, mortars, dry mortars. A new design of a horizontal paddle mixer with rod elements located in front of the working surfaces of the blades, changing the trajectories of material particles, increasing their mobility, which leads to an increase in the degree of homogeneity of the mixed material, is considered. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of rod elements on the quality of preparation of a cement-sand mixture, to establish patterns of influence on it by the design and technological parameters of a two-shaft paddle mixer and to determine the areas of their rational values. The following tasks have been solved. A bench installation of a two-shaft horizontal paddle mixer with rod elements has been developed, on which experimental studies have been carried out on the preparation of dry cement-sand mixtures. For the criterion characterizing the quality of the mixture, the ultimate compressive strength of the prism specimens made from it is adopted. Regression equations are obtained that adequately describe the compressive strength of prism samples from the design and technological parameters of the mixer: the angle of the blades, the distance from the working surfaces of the blades to the rod elements, the rotational speed of the blade shafts, and their analysis is performed. The analysis of the change in the ultimate compressive strength of the prism specimens from the parameters under study is carried out, the rational ranges of their values are determined. It was found that a mixer with rod elements allows to obtain a dry cement-sand mixture, products from which have a higher compressive strength. During the work, the method of mathematical planning of experiments was used. As a result of the study, an assessment of the influence of rod elements on the quality of preparation of a cement-sand mixture was carried out, the regularities of the influence on it of the design and technological parameters of a two-shaft paddle mixer and the area of their rational values were established.

The aim of the study is the quality improvement of the feed mixture prepared and substantiation of the design and technological parameters of blade mixer batch- operated. The task is to set the functional dependence between the prepared mixtures quality and the empirical ratio of the intensity of mixing, taking into account the blades length in regard to values of the rotation frequency and the length of the blade of the batch-operated mixer, as well as the definition of rational length of the mixer blades. Improving the quality of mixture requires both the adding of all nec-essary nutrients and feed components into the volume of prepared portion of the mixture as stipulated by the recipe for mixture, and smooth distribution of components throughout the volume of ready feed. Smooth distribution of the mixture components is related to the design and operation of the mixer. Blade mixer batch- operated is one of the effective types of existing mixers, mixing the ingredients of feed with good quality. The article presents the result oriented design scheme of the blade mixer. Positive functions of the mixture quality and the empirical coefficient of mixing intensity included in their composition are assessed taking into account the length of the blades, depending on the rotation speed and frequency of the mixer. The graphic results of experimental studies taking into account the influence of the blade length and the speed of the mixer on the quality of the prepared mixture are given. The increase of blade length and rotation speed improves the quality of the mixture. Recommended blade length is 75...80 mm. With frequency of rotation increase and the length of the blades the total value of the empirical coeffi-cient of the intensity of mixing, depending on the effect of the length of the blades decreases at a slower pace. This is typical of the obtained hyperbolic dependence.

Purpose. The paper aims to develop the methodology for choosing the best available structure of a logistics chain for deliveries of bulk cargoes. Methodology. The systematic approach is used to formalize the problem of choosing the optimal structure of a logistics chain: the total expenses are used to define the goal function, alternative logistics chain structures and numeric parameters of the request flow (the delivery distance and the consignment weight) are defined as control variables, and the random variables representing technological parameters of servicing processes are used to consider the influence of the environment on the logistics chain. The mathematical model defines the functional dependence of the total expenses on the entities within the delivery chain on the request flow parameters for two alternative structures: the delivery with transshipment in one freight terminal and the delivery through two terminals. By using functional analysis, we define the ranges of the request flow parameters where the use of a given logistics chain structure is characterized by minimal total expenses. Findings. The experimental studies conducted considering two alternative logistics chain structures have shown that the better solution varies depending on the values of the request parameters. It allowed us to state that the ranges of the numeric parameters of the request flow may be defined to substantiate the optimal logistics chain structure for deliveries of bulk loads. Originality. The dependencies of the total logistics expenses on the delivery distance and the consignment weight as the parameters of the flow of requests for bulk cargo transportation have been defined in the paper for the first time. Practical value. The proposed methodological approach can be used by freight forwarders to substantiate the best option out of available alternative structures of a logistics chain for deliveries of loads with the given delivery distance and the consignment weight.

At production of stainless steel expensive alloying elements, containing nickel, are used. To decrease the steel cost, substitution of nickel during steel alloying process by its oxides is an actual task. Results of analysis of thermodynamic and experimental studies of nickel reducing from its oxide presented, as well as methods of nickel oxide obtaining at manganese bearing complex raw materials enrichment and practice of its application during steel alloying. Technology of comprehensive processing of complex manganese-containing raw materials considered, including leaching and selective extraction out of the solution valuable components: manganese, nickel, iron, cobalt and copper. Based on theoretical and experiment studies, a possibility of substitution of metal nickel by concentrates, obtained as a result of hydrometallurgical enrichment, was confirmed. Optimal technological parameters, ensuring high degree of nickel recovery out of the initial raw materials were determined. It was established, that for direct steel alloying it is reasonable to add into the charge pellets, consisting of nickel concentrate and coke fines, that enables to reach the through nickel recovery at a level of 90%. The proposed method of alloying steel by nickel gives a possibility to decrease considerably steel cost at the expense of application of nickel concentrate, obtained out of tails of hydrometallurgical enrichment of manganese-bearing raw materials, which is much cheaper comparing with the metal nickel.

Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) involves the delivery of electrical impulses to the stomach for therapeutic purposes. New GES protocols are needed that are optimized for improved motility outcomes and energy efficiency. In this study, a biophysically based smooth muscle cell (SMC) model was modified on the basis of experimental data and employed in conjunction with experimental studies to define the effects of a large range of GES protocols on individual SMCs. For the validation studies, rat gastric SMCs were isolated and subjected to patch-clamp analysis during stimulation. Experimental results were in satisfactory agreement with simulation results. The results define the effects of a wide range of GES parameters (pulse width, amplitude, and pulse-train frequency) on isolated SMCs. The minimum pulse width required to invoke a supramechanical threshold response from SMCs (defined at −30 mV) was 65 ms (at 250-pA amplitude). The minimum amplitude required to invoke this threshold was 75 pA (at 1,000-ms pulse width). The amplitude of the invoked response beyond this threshold was proportional to the stimulation amplitude. A high-frequency train of stimuli (40 Hz; 10 ms, 150 pA) could invoke and maintain the SMC plateau phase while requiring 60% less power and accruing ∼30% less intracellular Ca2+ concentration during the plateau phase than a comparable single-pulse protocol could in a demonstrated example. Validated computational simulations are an effective strategy for efficiently identifying effective minimum-energy GES protocols, and pulse-train protocols may also help to reduce the power consumption of future GES devices.

This paper presents the results of experimental studies of the physical and mechanical properties of wood-fiber boards of the wet production method when regulating the design and technological parameters of the grinding process. This allowed us to determine the influence of the working clearance between the grinding discs and the concentration of fibre mass with the subject to of quality change wood fiber after defibrator using the developed construction of the disc fibrillation action on the physico-mechanical properties of boards. As a result of the experiment, regression models were obtained that adequately describe the studied grinding process and allow predicting the values of physical and mechanical properties of the finished product depending on the established  parameters process. A comparative analysis of the size and quality characteristics of the fiber semi-finished product and its fractional composition when using a developed construction the disc of refiner fibrillation action and a traditional design used in industry is carried out. The preferential efficiency of the grinding process under the fibrillating effect the disc of refiner in comparison with the traditional construction disc of refiner is established. As a result, there is a significant improvement in the quality indicators of the fiber semi-finished product and its composition due to the formation and predominance in the total mass of long and thin, respectively, flexible fibrillated fibers with high tile-forming properties, which allows to increase the strength properties of the product (by 20–25%), without using binding resins.

The aim of this publication is to determine the OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) indicator for 5 axes milling machine found at Diehl Aircabin Hungary Ltd. for the present and future state. Based on this value, the utilization of the machine for the given production amount can be calculated. With the optimal choice of the right production parameters (the number of cuts, feeding, depth of cut, etc.) greater productivity can be achieved i.e. the machine main time (time of cutting) will be less. The possibilities of the reduction of the machine time will be analysed and calculated. Setting of the appropriate technological parameters the machine main time could be decreased. The calculation of the machine main time will be determined for the most frequent manufacturing technologies.

The goal of the work. Investigate the influence of the relative position of the depth of processing with a chisel, the speed of movement of the unit and the distance between the cutting side discs on the lumpiness of the processed strip. Methods of research: analytical - quantitative determination of the quality of strip tillage; laboratory-field - for research, an experimental installation was completed with an MTZ-892 tractor and a section of the unit for strip tillage; statistical with generally accepted agronomic and economic methods. Results. Experimental studies of changes in the design and technological parameters of the unit for strip processing with the determination of lumpiness have been carried out. To study the main parameters, the depth of processing of the subsoiler (chisel) is taken from 13 to 27 cm, the distance between the cutting side discs is from 10 to 30 cm, the speed of the MTA is from 4 to 11 km/h. Unchanged parameters during the study: the distance from the axis of the front disc to the chisel is 50 cm, the distance from the chisel to the axis of the cutting side discs is 50 cm, the immersion depth of the cutting side discs is 10 cm. Experimental background is winter wheat stubble. Soil cultivation for winter wheat - deep (18 cm) disking, before that plowing to a depth of 25 cm. According to the research results, graphs of the dependence of lumpiness on the relative position of the chisel, cutting side discs and changes in the speed of the MTA were built. As the speed and distance between the side cutting discs increase, the lumpiness value decreases. Conclusions. Based on the results of the studies, the dependences of lumpiness on the relative position of the chisel and cutting side disks were obtained when the speed of the MTA was changed. It was determined that with an increase in the processing depth, the distance between the cutting side discs of 20 cm and the MTA movement speed of 7.5 km / h, a uniform increase in lumpiness is observed. The distance between the side cutting discs of 10 cm is not suitable for work.
