Published: March 2021

The modern development of the food industry is accompanied by an increasing use of automated process control systems. The widespread use of automated control systems is caused by a significant economic effect, which is achieved by ensuring the specified qualities of the products produced regardless of subjective factors, reducing the loss of valuable products, reducing the labor intensity of production processes, and increasing the culture of production. The article presents a scheme of automation and energy saving of the technological process of production of functional beverages based on direct-pressed grape juice with increased nutritional and biological value due to the inclusion of feijoa and blackberry extracts in their composition. Monitoring of the technological process was carried out using a multi-channel stand. The main parameters of monitoring were the consumption of basic and auxiliary products; the temperature of pasteurization and cooling of direct-pressed juice and extracts from fruit and berry raw materials; the level of pulp and product in the tanks. The obtained experimental data and developed technological methods allowed us to offer an effective energy-saving technology for the production of high-quality functional beverages in the conditions of energy-saving management of the production process. To implement the proposed technology, a hardware and technological scheme for the production of functional beverages has been developed. Process monitoring allows you to reduce energy consumption by up to 30% by using modern automation and control tools.

Problems of using flooded and morned areas on the example of the city district city of Tyumen region
Authors: Cherezova Natalia , Avilova Tatiana
Published: March 2021

One of the main conditions for the existence of people on earth is the preservation of soils, the improvement of their regime and properties. The rational use of the land fund depends on the intensity of the overgrowth of the land with birch, shrub, and weeds, as well as on the erosion of the land. If overgrowth at certain stages limits the growth of plants, interferes with soil cultivation, makes the territory unfavorable for agricultural work, then erosion determines a decrease in the fertile layer of soil and increases the division of the territory, reducing the productivity of land and involving it in the national economic turnover. In recent decades, Russia, as well as other countries of the world, has been characterized by increasing trends in land degradation, violations as a result of natural phenomena, economic and other activities, which are accompanied by an aggravation of the problem of food security.

Published: March 2021

The aim of the research is to assess the possibility of using the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence method directly at the stoping operation site. To meet this objective, a hand-held X-ray fluorescence spectrometer of the expert class of the NITON XL2 brand was selected. This will solve the problem of developing an express method for assessing the explosive and fire-hazardous properties of sulfur-containing or pyrite-containing ore. The development of the method is dictated by the need for operational control of the dust explosion hazard of sulfur-containing rocks and the assessment of their tendency to spontaneous combustion and also the possibility of making amendments to the development process of complex heterogeneous host rocks. Visual and optical control methods were used as an auxiliary method. In the process of developing the express method, both express analyses were carried out directly at the face bottom, and monolithic large-sized pieces of mined rock mass and also additional laboratory studies of previously studied samples of these rocks dispersed to a size of less than 100 microns were performed. The obtained results allowed to draw a number of conclusions about the expediency of using the X-ray fluorescence express method and suggest ways to use it directly in the stoping face.

An estimate of the tail severity of the distribution self-similar traffic was obtained by constructing a regression line for the additional distribution function on a logarithmic scale. The self-similarity parameter value, determined by the severity of the distribution “tail”, made it possible to confirm the assumption of traffic self-similarity. A review of models simulating real network traffic with a self-similar structure was made. Implemented tools for generating artificial traffic in accordance with the considered models. Made comparison of artificial network traffic generators according to the least squares method criterion for approximating the artificial traffic point values by the approximation function of traffic. Qualitative assessments traffic generators in the form of the software implementation complexity were taken into account, which, however, can be a subjective assessment. Comparative characteristics allow you to choose some generators that most faithfully simulate real network traffic. The proposed sequence of methods to study the network traffic properties is necessary to understand its nature and to develop appropriate models that simulate real network traffic.

Computer modeling of ship combined propulsion plants
Authors: Grigoryev Andrey , Ulitovsky Dmitry
Published: March 2021

Combined propulsion plants (CPP) are increasingly being used on modern ships of foreign and domestic construction. A feature of such plants is that the energy for the movement of the vessel is generated in them in two (or more) different types of ship engines - heat and electric ones, working on a common propulsor. Combined plants are complex electromechanical systems designed to provide propulsion in various modes of ship operation and generate electricity in a cruising mode or during a lay-up. CPP combine the advantages of traditional propulsion plant with heat main engines and electric propulsion plants. The study of the physical properties and the principle of operation of CPP without a comprehensive study of the object using the model is impossible. Computer models and computer modeling are widely used to study the properties of complex objects. Nowadays, personal digital computers are widely used for computer modeling. Standard packages and programs are used as programs and packages for computer modeling.
Preventive protection of marine electrical power system from the transition of generating sets to motoring mode
Authors: Saushev Alecsandr , Shirokov Nikolai
Published: March 2021

The approaches that ensure the trouble-free operation of marine power system in abnormal modes were considered. Such modes are usually associated with the system elements failure during operation. Particular attention was paid to the processes occurring in the circuit during transition of one of the generators to the motoring operation mode. The relevance of the considered marine power system issue was substantiated. According to the research results, using time-delay when generating a signal to disable a failed unit operating with reverse power can contribute to defect development in the primary motor. Moreover, time-delay can also lead to zero voltage in the marine electric power system. This circumstance creates the possibility of an emergency that can potentially lead to a shipping accident with the most serious consequences. The problem of timely shutdown of a faulty electrical machine before its transition to the motoring mode is defined in the research, as well as the overload prevention problem for primary motors remaining in working condition. An original diagnostic indicator was proposed based on study, which allows identifying the inoperative state of generator unit during operation. The new approach was developed, which implements the preventive control method for the marine power system in case of element failure. The forecasting of the system operation modes in case of a generator set failure, and its structural adaptation to the occurred malfunction is carried out. In contrast to the existing methods, the practical implementation of the proposed solution will allow accident-free transition of marine power system to a partially operational state without the emergency. This will have a beneficial effect on the safety of ship as a whole.

Published: March 2021

The article explores the features of electronic document management of technical documentation of railway automation and telemechanics. A block diagram of an automaton model of technical documentation is developed. The proposed block diagram of a formalized model of technical documentation consists of matrices of external microoperations, internal microoperations, code creation for the following microcomponents. The number of internal states of the firmware is completely determined by the number of logic elements of the algorithms. The size of the matrices depends on the number of operators and logical conditions in the logic circuits of the algorithms. In this paper, a non-maximal group of compatible elements of logic circuits of algorithms is used as a microcommand, which led to the simplification of the matrix of the circuit of the firmware automaton. In the considered method of forming the maximum groups of compatible elements of logic schemes of algorithms, micro operations included in each micro command are performed simultaneously in one microtact. The structure of the firmware of the machine is simplified due to the transition from simple to complex micro-ops.

The physical methods of enhanced oil recovery using electromagnetic fields are studied in this paper. Purpose of the work is to study the dependence of the main quantities that determine the volume of filtered oil, including the viscosity of oil, on the parameters (temperature, intensity and frequency) of thermal and electromagnetic fields, and optimize these parameters for maximum oil recovery factor using electric fields and steam treatment of the formation.It is proposed to combine the most effective and environmentally friendly methods to increase oil production. In the developed technique, methods of converting steam energy are used to create a torque of the drilling device with simultaneous steam treatment of the bottomhole zone of the reservoir. As well as the impact of an alternating electromagnetic field on the reservoir matrix and interstratal liquid fluids to create currents, increase the mobility of molecules of liquid fluids, and, as a consequence, increase the temperature and lower the viscosity of oil, which will increase oil recovery. As a result of numerous experimental experiments carried out using the original setup in the laboratory of the branch of the Tyumen Industrial University in Nizhnevartovsk, it was shown that a decrease in viscosity is observed only when exposed to simultaneous thermal and electromagnetic fields.

The environmental safety strategy assumes that with the help of the “garbage reform”, it is possible to solve such tasks as increasing environmental safety, recycling more waste for secondary use, reducing the burden on the environment, creating a unified system of collection, transportation, processing and disposal of waste in the country, and gradually move to a ban on the disposal of waste that has not been sorted, as well as to mechanical and chemical treatment. The subject of study is the reform of waste disposal. The purpose of the study is to identify the negative impact of garbage waste on the environment. Methodology. To study the topic, objects of waste disposal and the share of their processing were examined. Results - it is planned to completely change the waste collection and disposal system in Russia.
