This article discusses a study of extrusion’s process of feed-stuff for fish on the developed two-screw extruder. The main technological requirements of fodder-stuff for fish was determined. The results of experimental studies were described, the relation of the specific energy consumption of the temperature and humidity of feed-stuff was defined. The obtained results show that the specific energy intensity of the two-screw extruder is lower than with other devices for the production of fodder-stuff for fish.

Kuzbass coal mines are equipped with powerful mining equipment; it is CME excavator type with bucket capacity from 4.6 m3 to 20 m3. To evaluate the efficiency of the excavation processes, a universal criterion was used – the value of specific energy consumption (kW h/m3). The dependences of excavator efficiency on the quality of rock blasting, estimated by the diameter of the average piece in the shot pile, are obtained. The relationship between the efficiency of excavators CME - 4.6, CME – 8, CME – 12.5, CME – 20, their energy intensity and the diameter of an average piece in the shot pile is determined.

The purpose of this article is study and identification of the most promising trends and engineering solutions in order to improve resource saving and energy efficiency in the production of corundum on the basis of the conducted patent review on melting improvement and optimization. The ways to optimize the corundum production are considered in three directions from the point of view of energy saving. The first direction relates to the development of promising engineering developments. The latter are studied to select rational operating modes and determine the main factors affecting voltage surges during the technological process and useful product yield. Consideration is given to the conditions for reducing specific energy consumption and improvement of production environmental friendliness at all stages beginning from isothermal sintering of corundum, production of electrocorundum, fine corundum to single corundum crystals. The second direction is the optimization of corundum production at all stages for the development of an optimal control algorithm for the technological process. In this case the electricity consumption might be reduced by 10-12% as compared to current standards. The third direction is the development of engineering solutions involving the change of individual structural units of furnaces, namely, the use of modern components and new heat insulating materials, as well as the application of spent heat carriers as the sources of secondary energy resources and the introduction of additional controllers of the automated control system of the process. The analytical study has shown that the result of optimization should be upgraded designs of plants and electrical equipment, which can provide maximum electrochemical efficiency, and corresponding furnace tightness. Criteria for energy supply and energy quality making possible to stabilize furnace material balance and solve resource saving issues have been developed. These measures allow to reduce the loss of raw materials up to 20-25%, the specific energy consumption under the production of corundum by 2-3 thousand kWh per 1 t.


The article presents the results of driving and static tests of pile models with different longitudinal shapes, carried out in laboratory conditions. It was revealed that the specific energy consumption of driving a pyramidal-prismatic pile can either exceed or be less than the specific energy consumption of driving a prismatic pile. Unlike pyramidal piles, pyramidal-prismatic piles have less specific energy consumption for driving. Energy costs for driving pyramidal-prismatic piles, as well as their resistance to pressing vertical loads depend on the length of the pyramidal section and rise with its increase. It has been established that, with the same depth of driving and with the same piles, the specific bearing capacity of the pyramidal-prismatic piles is higher than the prismatic piles and less than the pyramidal pile. The revealed features of the behavior of the pyramidalprismatic piles are due to the influence of the longitudinal shape and the length of the pyramidal part of their shaft on the driving process and behavior under the loads.

Campus energy consumption takes up a large proportion of the total expenses of the campus. At the same time power consumption is emphasis. In the paper design of campus energy monitoring system and key technologies are demonstrated. The above-mentioned scheme is applied in a university in the north of China. The energy-saving measures are studied combined with the characteristics of the specific energy consumption.

There is currently no standard for the Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) in the palm oil industry. SEC is a value that can be used as an indicator to measure the optimization level in the use of energy. Indonesia as one of the largest palm oil producing countries requires a standard for energy intensity in the palm oil industry. SEC in palm oil mill is defined in the amount of energy per unit of production (kWh/kg). The classifying method that has been used in this study is K-means cluster analysis with the measurement samples in 14 palm oil mills for 12 months of period. This study has suggested the SEC standard for Indonesian palm oil industry and it is expected to be SEC reference for other studies in the palm oil industry.

Experiment to identify ambient grinding conditions and energy consumed was conducted for fenugreek. Fenugreek seeds at three moisture content (5.1%, 11.5% and 17.3%, d.b.) were ground using a micro pulverizer hammer mill with different grinding screen openings (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm) and feed rate (8, 16 and 24 kg h-1) at 3000 rpm. Physical properties of fenugreek seeds were also determined. Specific energy consumptions were found to decrease from 204.67 to 23.09 kJ kg-1 for increasing levels of feed rate and grinder screen openings. On the other hand specific energy consumption increased with increasing moisture content. The highest specific energy consumption was recorded for 17.3% moisture content and 8 kg h-1 feed rate with 0.5 mm screen opening. Average particle size decreased from 1.06 to 0.39 mm with increase of moisture content and grinder screen opening. It has been observed that the average particle size was minimum at 0.5 mm screen opening and 8 kg h-1 feed rate at lower moisture content. Bond’s work index and Kick’s constant were found to increase from 8.97 to 950.92 kWh kg-1 and 0.932 to 78.851 kWh kg-1 with the increase of moisture content, feed rate and grinder screen opening, respectively. Size reduction ratio and grinding effectiveness of fenugreek seed were found to decrease from 4.11 to 1.61 and 0.0118 to 0.0018 with the increase of moisture content, feed rate and grinder screen opening, respectively. The loose and compact bulk densities varied from 219.2 to 719.4 kg m-3 and 137.3 to 736.2 kg m-3, respectively.
