Authors: Muratov A , Melikuziev S
Published: July 2020

In this article new approaches of determining vibration intensity of vibration compactors and molding machines by two examples: for the simplest type of vibros and for vibrating areas with modulated multipara meter vibrations with the purpose assessing the technical and economic efficiency of parameters of new technologies regimes, as well as assessing practical feasibility of optimal values of constructive and technological parameters of proposed technologies in the production of combined constructions of ameliorative objects are described. In the same concrete mix, high-frequency oscillations damp more strongly than low-frequency oscillations. With increasing mobility and the degree of compaction of the mixture, the attenuation becomes lower, and the propagation velocity of the oscillations to the limit corresponding to the maximum for these conditions of compaction. By stabilizing the amplitude, intensity of the oscillations, the speed of their propagation, and the wavelength, one can judge the end of compaction of the mixture.
Seiling and cleaning of channels
Authors: Lee A , Usmonov T , Norov B
Published: July 2020

This article discusses some theoretical assumptions about the causes and factors affecting the siltation (deposits) of channels of reclamation systems. It has been established that the siltation of channels is mainly caused by low speeds of the water moving in them and it occurs due to the destruction of slopes and accumulation of soil deposits at the bottom of the channel. An important role in the siltation of channels is played by the physical and mechanical properties of the soil. The intensity of the siltation of channels in the early years of their construction mainly occurs due to the peeling of the slopes of the soil. In irrigation canals, the intensity of siltation depends on the amount of sediment in the source of irrigation, which is meltwater from the slopes of the mountains bringing a huge amount of sediment. Sludges of intra-systemic origin are mainly obtained as a result of erosion and landslides of canal banks. During the exploitation of the drainage network, repair and restoration work is mandatory, as there is a change in the cross-section of the channels, which leads to a decrease in their parameters. An analysis of a theoretical study of the siltation of channels of reclamation systems using long-term materials from previous studies is carried out.

Published: July 2020

The presence of ongoing climate change and their increasing scale have now become apparent. Climate models provide a glimpse of the future. Disappointing forecasts pushing to develop models that would allow rapidly develop measures for adapting to unavoidable environmental conditions and to mitigate impacts, including those related to the deterioration of water quality in natural water bodies and reservoirs.

The most simple and effective models for fast and fairly accurate forecasts regarding waters are the zero-dimensional models. Such models widely used in engineering practice owing to their considerable simplicity which is correct for conservative substances. At the same time, additional limits should be taken into account while forecasting water quality involving nonconservative components which could change its chemical characteristics in particular.

The period during which the concentration of a substance becomes the same over the entire area of a reservoir could be considered as a time scale in which zero-dimensional equations are applicable, the average concentration of substances for the entire body of water can be considered only as of the average over some time not less than determined by the scope of consideration. The expression which is given in the paper allows identifying limits of applicability of zero-dimensional equations for a non-conservative substance concentration as a function of time scale and coefficient of non-conservativeness.

Charvak reservoir is the largest reservoir in Uzbekistan. It is surrounded by the Tien Shan Mountains. The Chatkal River begins from the western part of The Tien Shan Mountains and flows into the Charvak reservoir. The average annual water discharge is 108 m3/s and is the largest right tributary of The Chirchik River. Based on long-term observational data, intraannual flow distribution was calculated. And trends were determined, tests for homogeneity were carried out, differential-integral curves in the observation series were evaluated. Average flow rates the error does not exceed 10%, for the coefficient of variation; the error does not exceed 15%. 4. Analysis of the difference integral curve showed since the 90s of the last century to the present time, a high water period has been observed on The Chatkal River and its tributaries. This is mainly due to the increase in annual precipitation. There is no significant change in long-term annual precipitation. However, shift happening with the type of precipitation. Namely, in the last two decades more rainy days than cold snowy days were observed.
Long-term forecasts of water availability in small foothill rivers of Uzbekistan
Authors: Kodirov S , Zaitov Sh
Published: July 2020

This article presents the obtained results of the application of integrated hydrological models. Observed data and simulations diverge especially during the period when the maximum flow rates are observed. This is mainly due to the parameters of climate and soil, which are taken into account when checking sensitivity to unknown values. To increase the accuracy of the results, the selection method is used, and the analysis of the results. Outcomes show that the correlation coefficient is more than 60%. However, it is possible to enhance this connection. For this, it is necessary to change the sensitivity parameters to unknown values several times and restart the models. The simulation results of the high water period are smoother than the observed values. It refers, to maximum water discharges; even integrated models face difficulties in taking account of all the factors that form the surface runoff. Therefore, the hydrologic models that are applying nowadays have to be improved and developed for better outcomes.

Published: July 2020

Water-saving irrigation regimes for crops include reducing irrigation costs by reducing water supply. However, it also affects obtaining maximum crop yields, and increasing the fertility of the land, and avoiding negative environmental consequences. Creating the optimal, most favorable, comfortable level of soil moisture is a difficult task, which is influenced by many factors. One of the approaches to the appointment of irrigation norms is to take into account the heterogeneity of the soil profile and available moisture reserves. Formulas for calculating irrigation rates for available moisture reserves allow rational use of irrigation water, minimizing losses. The calculation was carried out according to two formulas - according to A.N. Kostyakova both for available moisture reserves for the 0-60 cm layer as a whole and layers every 10 cm. The choice of the estimated year was based on the availability of a water balance deficit, defined as the difference between the water consumption E and precipitation Pe for the calculation period. As a result of calculations, the following results were obtained: taking into account the heterogeneity of the soil profile, it is possible to save from 100 to 400 m3 / ha during the growing season without loss of crop yield.

Published: July 2020

Increasing green zones can be a suitable option to meet the challenges of growing cities. City authorities in developing countries face a lack of reliable data on the status of urban trees and forestry. The objective of this study was to carry out a spatio-temporal analysis of the dynamics of urban green zones of Tashkent City using Landsat satellite images taking into account climatic changes. For this, we used methods of laying test plots in assessing tree-shrubbery vegetation, a technique for expert interpretation of land cover objects from satellite images of medium spatial resolution, and mathematical statistics. The statistical analyses showed that the temperature regime has the greatest degree of influence on the dynamics of NDVI, i.e. the onset of the growing season corresponds to an increase in temperature. Precipitation, in view of its unstable and uneven distribution in the study area, has a weak negative relationship with the phytomass of green zones. Spatial analysis revealed an average degree of variability of NDVI in the green areas of the city for the studied period of 2000-2011.

Published: July 2020

Currently, the control and accounting of electricity at 1693 irrigation pumping stations of the Ministry of water management of Uzbekistan is carried out manually, on the basis of which 17 different types of documentation are filled in. This work requires a large amount of time and human resources. This can also be observed at the water and wastewater pumping stations. In this paper, the existing system of accounting for electricity consumption is fully considered on the example of several irrigation pumping stations and one regional management of pumping stations. The organizational structure and the procedure for maintaining documents on accounting and collecting information about the electricity consumed by pumping stations were analyzed. Based on the data obtained, an automated system for monitoring and accounting of electric power at pumping stations has been developed. This system eliminates unauthorized switching on pumping units, theft, or inefficient power consumption. As a result, it reduces the annual electricity consumption of pumping stations, and also reduces labor costs.

Published: July 2020

Accurate forecasting of electricity consumption determines the success of industrial enterprises. Each enterprise, having an accurate prediction of the amount of power consumed, strictly controls it, since deviations entail disruptions in work, is subject to fines. Power consumption forecasting for a certain period is the most urgent task in today’s electricity market. Existing forecasting methods have individual characteristics and have their advantages and disadvantages. The choice of forecasting methods depends on such major factors as the time for which the forecasting is performed, as well as the amount of information. When forecasting power consumption, it is necessary to take into account various factors related to the technological features of production, organization of equipment operation, etc. The present article describes the proposed method for determining the forecasted values of power consumption parameters in terms of total and specific power consumption, which differs from the existing methods in that it takes into account when forecasting power consumption parameters, the features of production that characterize the production process, the power consumption modes of process equipment, and the impact of technological and operational factors on energy performance that affect the forecast of readings. Accounting for the above factors can significantly simplify and improve the accuracy of forecasting calculations. When determining the forecast values, the components of electricity consumption for the main, auxiliary, and additional production are directly included in the calculation. Besides, the method allows to investigate and optimize the power consumption modes of both a separate production unit and the enterprise as a whole in conjunction with the indicators of processed products and components of the technological process used. The reliability of the method is justified by calculating the energy indicators of a specific section rolling shop of the steel industry.

Published: July 2020

The article outlines options to improve the organization of steel production in the Republic of Uzbekistan in terms of any contractual relation, tariffs with the unified energy system. The agreed “flexible”, differentiated by time of day (multi-fare) tariffs allow not only to produce high-quality steel but also to organize an economically profitable “associated” production. Combined production is optimized by the criterion of maximum capital productivity at all its stages and areas. It also addressed the constraints preventing the intensive use of high-performance equipment and presented the increased tariff for consumed electricity as a criterion factor. As a result of the application of the nonlinear programming method by composing the Lagrange function, the income function of the main and auxiliary industries is maximized. Given the validity of costs, their content is disclosed. Taking into account the importance of energy resources, in a competitive market, they are considered as the most important components of production. The goal of achieving the lowest costs and maximum profits is achieved by the presence of a procedure for manipulating resources. For steelmaking production, the economically most advantageous tariff curve in the demand function T = f (c) is recommended, which will ensure uniformly elastic demand across the entire range of tariffs. This curve means a uniformly elastic demand in the whole range of tariffs, i.e. equal to proportional across the entire range of tariff reduction in the face of rising demand for products, which confirms the perfect representation of the tariff curve as a function of demand in the form of a decaying exponent. The elements of optimization are investigated, in particular, based on relative Lagrange increments. Special attention is paid to the exponential scale of electricity tariffs, providing a kind of “equally proportional” reduction of the tariff with increasing demand for manufactured products. The replacement of an exponential continuous scale of tariffs with a more convenient graded scale is also decided from the standpoint of economic tolerances, where, in the process of monitoring demand, the values of maximum tariffs can be further changed. It has been established that, at the same time, the use of an exponential scale of tariffs at enterprises with a continuous production pattern, in particular steel-smelting sections, makes it possible to ideally solve the problem of optimizing coproduction.

Published: July 2020

This article discusses the construction of a graph model of a relay system of automatic control. Based on the graph model, relations are derived for calculating transients in a relay system. To describe and analyse relay systems of automatic control, a specific feature of the relay element is used, consisting in the fact that its output value can take only certain constant values. The maximum possible set of structural states for relay elements is three. Accordingly, the relay element introduces a structure discretization effect into the system. This feature makes it possible to study relay systems with relatively simple means and makes it possible to develop methods for their calculation to a certain extent similar to methods for calculating linear systems. In developing the graph method for the description and analysis of relay automatic systems, this position was primarily taken as a basis. This method can be successfully used in any of the typical relay elements are included in the system. A two-dimensional relay system is considered as an example. Based on the graph model, the output coordinates of the system are calculated and their graphs are constructed.

Authors: Gapparov Sh , Karshiev F
Published: July 2020

Livestock in Uzbekistan is one of the main sectors of agriculture and it is based on family livestock farms. In family farms, animals are fed with rough fodder, including corn stalks, alfalfa hay, camel-thorn, and pressed straw. However, households, due to the lack of small shredders, provide compressed feed to animals without chopping. As a result, 25-30% of the feed goes to waste, and losses increase. Therefore, a small installation was developed for chopping compressed coarse feeds and mixing them with concentrated feeds, and its chopping apparatus and type of knives were experimentally investigated. The density of stalks of alfalfa, corn, camel thorns, and wheat straw was 81.9 kg/m3; 81.3 kg/m3; 82.5 3 kg/m3 and 78.4 kg/m3 and their main part 76.2-94.4% were stems, and the rest of the leaves, branches, and panicles. When the rotor speed increased from 1200 to 1350 rpm, the stems are chopped qualitatively, i.e. fully comply with the original requirements. At the same time, the splitting of the stems is 83.5 - 94.0%, which also corresponds to the initial requirements. Depending on the type of knives, the cutting fraction with a length of 30-50 mm is 68.6-82.0%, the fractions with a length of more than 50 mm - 3.3-26.3%, and the fractions with a length of less than 30 mm - 5.1-14.7%. The splitting of the stems varies from 78.9% to 94.7%.

The design of the track to control river channel directing flow to water intake point requires the solution of a number of issues. Including the magnitude of the deflection of the dynamic axes of flow contracted by control structures. The main goal of the work is to develop the design method for the deflection of the dynamic axes of flow unilaterally contracted by a combined dam with a through-flow part made of tetrahedrons. The task is accomplished using Varignon’s theorem and the equation of conservation of discharges written for sections where flow natural condition is maintained in the headrace and contracted section. The concept of flow around the coefficient is introduced as the ratio of incoming discharge to the discharge passing the through-flow part of the combined dam. Design relationships have been proposed to determine the relative deflection of the dynamic axes of flow specific discharge in the non-contracted section of flow carrying capacity of the through-flow part is evaluated through the coefficient of flow-around. Numerical methods carried out for Chirchik river conditions have shown satisfactory results.

Published: July 2020

The paper presents the results of an oscillation process study of thin-walled structures viscoelastic elements, taking into account the static pressure drop. When studying the oscillations of thin-walled structure elements in a gas flow, a model in the form of a cylindrical panel was used. To describe the viscoelastic properties, the hereditary Boltzmann-Volterra theory of viscoelasticity was applied. When realizing the physicomechanical properties of the object material, the systems of integro-differential equations (IDE) in partial derivatives with corresponding initial and boundary conditions are the mathematical model of the problems under consideration. The obtained nonlinear partial differential equations using the Bubnov-Galerkin method were reduced to the solution of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with constant or variable coefficients with respect to the time function. The integration of the equations obtained using the polynomial approximation of deflections was carried out numerically. Based on this method, an algorithm for the numerical solution of the problem was developed fit for all viscoelastic elements of thin-walled structures of panel type.
Influence of the nature of the binding material on properties of the sorbents
Authors: Smyatskaya Y , Politaeva N , Chusov A
Published: July 2020

This article discusses sorbents for water purification from heavy metals and petroleum products made from cheap materials such as agricultural waste, industrial waste, sawdust, sheet litter, and others. Literary data in which it is proposed to modify the waste to improve the physic-chemical and sorption characteristics. Acids, alkalis, salts, alcohols, and organic compounds are used as reagents. Additive to the sorption material of the polymer binder allows obtaining material of this form.

This article proposes to manufacture sorbents from cotton waste and agricultural waste (wheat husk). Preliminary heat treatment of materials allows developing a specific surface area and obtaining new functional groups, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of model solutions from heavy metal ions (zinc, cadmium, lead, copper). The authors propose sorbents to be laid in layers in the polymer case and thus a three-layer filter “COM” was manufactured. To give the filter a frame structure, it is proposed to introduce polymeric binders (phenol-formaldehyde resins, adhesives, paraffin, a polymeric matrix). Considered 3 types of filters that differ in the content of the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix consists of phenol, formaldehyde, and sulfuric acid. The highest sorption capacity was observed for the COM sample and ranged from 0.88 to 0.90 mg/g, while the cleaning efficiency was up to 89% for zinc ions. Microstructural studies of the samples showed that the introduction of binding additives “smears” the pores and reduces the sorption activity. The introduction of the polymer matrix allows you to save the sorption properties due to the ion exchange mechanism.
The extraction of the water-air phase through a single filtration hole
Authors: Khasanov B , Choriev R , Vatin N , Mirzaev T
Published: July 2020

The conducted studies allowed us to establish that the shape of the filtration holes should be subject to the above patterns. The second - it was established on the basis of the analysis of real Reynolds numbers and visual observations that the water extraction mode in the zone of action of the peristaltic wave of compaction is divided into three stages:

a) laminar spin mode;

b) turbulent spin mode;

c) intermittent spin mode.

The first stage of water extraction is determined by the classical two-dimensional (coordinate X and time t) water movement in a porous medium. Usually, this task is complicated by the presence of a water and gas phase in the squeezed stream. The first phase ends with the turbulent motion of the liquid-air phase. Turbulence as the second stage of the extraction of the water-air phase is determined by the dependence of the critical Reynolds number on the action of complex technological factors of hyper-compaction. This includes vibro-shock of peristaltic pressure and shear deformations from the reciprocating movements of the moldable mixture. The second stage ends with the transition to intermittent extraction of residual water.

The third stage of extraction is characterized by the ultimate level of compaction (P

max

) by

breaking continuous filter channels and the transition to a submicrocellular structure of the compacted mixture [1, 2, 3, 4].

The irrigation network is the main hydraulic structure that performs the function of transporting irrigation water to irrigated lands. Channels built in the last century have a high physical and moral wear, requiring a decision on how to restore. It is proposed to use a composite of materials consisting of a concrete web and a geomembrane. The combination of these materials due to their characteristics can reduce the construction process due to the ease of installation and ease of materials, as well as completely eliminate the filtration of water from the channel, which is also a serious problem. The proposed technology is good because it uses the best qualities of each material to obtain an effective coating of the irrigation channel. The use of this technology provides a significant economic effect due to the saving of facing material in the amount of 5 percent of the total area of laying the concrete web, taking into account the cost of geomembrane.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on pressure distribution on human foot and balancing characteristics on human foot health. Feet are the parts of the human body that will sustain the highest pressure during standing. Analysis of foot plantar pressure distributions helps in revealing the interface pressure between the foot plantar surface and the shoe sole. The objectives of this research are to study on behavioural of the human foot pressure distribution and balancing during standing. In this study, five factors are considered for the experiment to establish the behavioural of humans’ foot, which are body mass index, gender, type of arch, diabetic and progressive foot deformity. Therefore, the experiment is conducted in order to know the pressure distribution based on factors by using Force Resistive Sensor. As a result, foot pressure distribution for normal subjects usually concentrated on the forefoot, followed by hind foot and middle foot. Body mass index also affects the pressure distribution as an increase in pressure follows an increase in body mass index and vice versa. As for gender factor, there is no significant difference in the pattern of pressure distribution between males and females. While for the type of feet arch factor, the different arch will give different locations of peak pressure. The diabetic factor, pressures will distribute more to the metatarsals and heel area while for progressive foot deformity factor, the pressure is usually distributed at the metatarsals and the toe area.

Cold plasma technology has found favour in the agricultural industry for growth stimulating by environmental friendly approach. However, there are still leaking studying of cold plasma technology on the mushroom needs. Current convectional mushrooms germination process requires long duration (∼6 weeks) for fruiting to growth. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the cold plasma efficacy towards the oyster mushroom germination speed and fruiting body production. By using novel atmospheric cold plasma pen system, the mushroom spawn grains were generates towards the spawn. Atmospheric pressure with flow rate of 4, 5 and 6 SLM by considering different duration plasma exposure (0, 5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 seconds) with ∼7 kV of supply voltage was supplied. The efficiency of the treatment was characterised by mushroom cultivation performance particularly on (i) mycelium growth rate and (ii) mushroom fruiting body productions. The results show cold plasma processing parameter, flow rate and treatment time absolutely influence the mushroom germination and production. CP pen system optimized at 5 SLM and 15 s presents triple production of mushroom weight and speed the mycelium growth rate (only 4 weeks) compared to control spawn grains (6 weeks). As conclusion, cold plasma pen system capability applies in mushroom industry.

The aim of this paper is to compare two driving force-based approaches for designing distillation column systems. A new methodology intended as a comparison tool is presented, where a distillation column system designed at maximum driving force is compared with a distillation column system designed at driving force that corresponds to the feed composition of the light component. In addition, a simplified Kirkbride equation is proposed to improve the existing feed location determination. The methodology is made up of four hierarchical stages; (1) identification of process mixture, (2) determination of driving force sequence, (3) design using driving force method and (4) energy analysis. The steps to sequence and design the systems as well as to analyze their performance in terms of energy usage were applied on an aromatic mixture separation case study. The findings show that by using this study’s approach, the design variables obtained resulted in a system that achieves better purity (near-optimal), is more accurate and more energy efficient that an existing system, with 9.34% less energy used.
Effect of Native Solids Sizes and Concentrations on the Kinetic Stability of Water-In-Oil Emulsions
Authors: Bello Adamu , Umar Abubakar A
Published: July 2020

The mingled production of oil and water, in the presence of other surface active agents (surfactants), either indigenous in the crude oil aid the formation and stabilization of emulsion. Colloidal particles behave like surfactants molecules, mostly when they adsorb to a fluid-fluid interface. With adequate coverage of these particles at the interface, they act as barriers against droplet coalescence and enhance emulsion stability. This study investigate the effect of certain native solids on the kinetic stability of W/O emulsions. The effect of their sizes and concentrations was studied. Conventional batch test, coupled with Turbiscan were used for the stability measurements. It was found out that the particle type (physico-chemical properties), concentration of the particles at the interface and their sizes are important measures of emulsion stability.

This paper presents the results of a study in which the performance of palm oil clinker (POC) sandas an alternative acoustic material for controlling noise problems was investigated. The specimens were prepared using the basic mortar mixture of cement-to-river sand ratio of 1:4. The five mixtures used in the study containedPOC sand at the amounts of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the total weight of the sand. Hardened mortar properties of density and compressive strength as well asacousticperformance were measured. The results show that the specimens containing POC sand gave an average noise reduction coefficient of 0.30, which is larger than the corresponding value of 0.25 for the specimens withriver sand only. The combination of 50% POC and 50%river sand achieved the highest sound absorption coefficient of 0.5 at 315 Hz and 0.4 at 1000Hz. It was also found that although POC sand reduced the compressive strength of specimens, the values obtained was still within the strength limit of non-load bearing structures. The findings suggest that POC sand has the potential to be used in the construction of non-structural wall in reducing the noise pollution.
