Study of the effect of boron oxide and basicity of CaO – SiO2–B2O3 – Al2O3slag system on MgO saturation concentration was carried out using the simplex lattice method of experimental design, which allows one to construct mathematical models describing dependence of studied property on composition as a continuous function. Synthetic slags, corresponding in composition to vertices of studied simplex, were smelted in graphite crucibles from previously calcined oxides of analytical grade. Slag compositions corresponding to the remaining points of local simplex plan were obtained by counterblending slags of simplex tops. Using experimental data, mathematical models adequately describing effect of slag composition on saturation concentration of MgO were constructed. Graphic image of mathematical modeling results is represented by the composition diagram – saturation concentration of MgO. Analysis of experimental data presented in diagram made it possible to obtain new information on the effect of boron oxide and basicity of CaO – SiO2 – B2O3slags system containing Al2O3on MgO saturation concentration. It was established that in slags formed in basicity range of 2  –  3 and B2O3content of 1  –  3  %, saturation concentration of MgO varies from 3 to 9  %. Increase in B2O3content in slag to 4  % leads to an increase in MgO saturation concentration in slag of 11  –  13  %. Displacement of slags to area of increased basicity up to 3  –  4 is characterized by a decrease in MgO saturation concentration to 2  –  5  %, with 1  –  3  % of В2О3content and an increase to 7  –  9  % at 3  –  4  % В2О3in slag. Formation of slags in basicity range of 4  –  5 and B2O3content of 1  –  3  % does not lead to a significant decrease in concentration of slag saturation with magnesium oxide. Saturation concentration of MgO in slag in this area of basicity varies from 2 to 4  % and practically does not reach 7  % with an increase in В2О3content to 4  %. At the same time, there is an increase in cost of steel due to an increase in consumption of lime and material containing boron oxide.

In this work we present a soft crawler fabricated using a magneto-active elastomer. The crawler is controlled by an external magnetic field to produce two locomotion patterns: peristaltic and caterpillar crawling. Due to its structural simplicity, low mass, wirelessly controlled actuation and compliant body the design of this crawler has the potential to address the key challenges faced by existing crawling robots. Experimental data were gathered to evaluate the performance of the crawler locomotion in a pipe. The results validated the mathematical models proposed to estimate the distance traveled by the crawler. The crawler shows potential for use in exploration of confined spaces.

AbstractMany experimental data along with their theoretical interpretations on the rf low-temperature cylindrical plasma have been issued until today. Our Laboratory has contributed to that research by publishing results and interpretative mathematical models. With the present paper, two issues are being examined; firstly, the estimation of electron drift caused by the rf field gradient, which is the initial reason for the plasma behaviour, and secondly, many new experimental results, especially the electron-neutral collision frequency effect on the other plasma parameters and quantities. Up till now, only the plasma steady state was taken into consideration when a theoretical elaboration was carried out, regardless of the cause and the effect. This indicates the plasma's complicated and chaotic configuration and the need to simplify the problem. In the present work, a classification about the causality of the phenomena is attempted; the rf field gradient electron drift is proved to be the initial cause.

An inverse numerical method that estimate parameters of dynamic mathematical models given some information about unknown trajectories at some time is applied to examples taken from Biology and Ecology. The method consisting of determining an over-determined system of algebraic equations using experimental data. The solution of the over-determined system is then obtained using, for example the least-squares method. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method an analysis of examples and corresponding numerical example are presented.

Abstract Numerical mathematical models of non-contact oil free scroll, Roots and screw vacuum pumps are developed. Modelling was carried out with the help of software CFD ANSYS-CFX and program TwinMesh for dynamic meshing. Pumping characteristics of non-contact pumps in viscous flow with the help of SST-turbulence model were calculated for varying rotors profiles, clearances, and rotating speeds. Comparison with experimental data verified adequacy of developed CFD models.

Noni seeds have been used for years as an important medicinal source, with wide use in the pharmaceutical and food industry. Drying is a fundamental process in the post-harvest stages, where it enables the safe storage of the product. Therefore, the present study aimed to fit different mathematical models to experimental data of drying kinetics of noni seeds, determine the effective diffusion coefficient and obtain the activation energy for the process during drying under different conditions of air temperature. The experiment used noni seeds with initial moisture content of 0.46 (decimal, d.b.) and dehydrated up to equilibrium moisture content. Drying was conducted under different controlled conditions of temperature, 40; 50; 60; 70 and 80 ºC and relative humidity, 24.4; 16.0; 9.9; 5.7 and 3.3%, respectively. Eleven mathematical models were fitted to the experimental data. The parameters to evaluate the fitting of the mathematical models were mean relative error (P), mean estimated error (SE), coefficient of determination (R2), Chi-square test (c2), Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Schwarz’s Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Considering the fitting criteria, the model Two Terms was selected to describe the drying kinetics of noni seeds. Effective diffusion coefficient ranged from 8.70 to 23.71 × 10-10 m2 s-1 and its relationship with drying temperature can be described by the Arrhenius equation. The activation energy for noni seeds drying was 24.20 kJ mol-1 for the studied temperature range.
