A rotary dust collector has been developed that works on the principle of a centrifugal separator. A feature of its design is the presence of a bypass recirculation channel of cleaned air with a flow regulator, two outlet pipes with flow uncoilers in the form of spiral channels. The calculation of the motion of dust particles with a density of 3000 kg/m3 and a diameter of 1 to 100 microns has been performed. Research has been carried out to improve the efficiency of the apparatus using a central compositional plan and to establish rational design and operating parameters of the mixer for recirculating and purified air.

A dust-air flow near a vertically located rotating cylinder with a suction unit located on the lateral surface was investigated. A computer model of this suction unit was developed, the effect of disks mounted on a cylindrical surface on the intake air flow and on the capture of dust particles in the suction unit, as well as the design and operating parameters of the proposed disk cylindrical suction (DCC), which reduce the dust loss. The influence of the size and number of discs, aspiration air flow on dust removal has been established. This design of a rotating disk cylinder suction unit can be used in aspiration shelters with the function of a dust-collecting chamber. Ill. 6. Ref. 15.

The velocity and concentration of sand/dust particles contained in the air flow are the key factors which affect the quality of sand/dust test. In order to obtain the anticipated sand/dust concentration and uniformity in the test segment, numerical simulation methods are adopted to study the characters of different sand/dust inject approaches. Research results indicated that the gravity sand/dust inject approach is not suitable for the large sand/dust test system, upstream spray approach is appropriate to be adopted in dust test, the uniformity of upstream sand spray method is better than downstream sand spray approach, but its diffusivity is not as good as the latter. In a certain range, the velocity difference between sand/dust spray flow and air flow affects the concentration distribution uniformity slightly. The numerical simulation results applied in the optimal design of particles inject system in some large sand/dust test system get a favorable progress. All results provide reference for the design of similar system and sand/dust environment test.

В процессе сверления стеновых конструкций электродрелями возникают значительные пылевыделения, негативно влияющие на здоровье человека и загрязняющие окружающее пространство. Актуальным является разработка компактных насадков-пылеуловителей, снижающих пылевыделения. Предложена конструкция пылеулавливающего насадка - отсоса для локализации пылевыделений при сверлении электродрелями плоских поверхностей. Для выбора необходимого расхода отсасываемого из насадка воздуха и наиболее рациональных его размеров разработана компьютерная модель движения пылевоздушного потока с учетом влияния вращения сверла. Использовался программный комплекс SolidWorks с расширением Flow Simulation, где численно решались уравнения Навье-Стокса и неразрывности, замкнутые при помощи k - ε модели турбулентности. Динамика пылевых частиц определялась численным решением дифференциального уравнения их движения с коэффициентом сопротивления Хендерсона. Для проверки адекватности и достоверности модели проведены экспериментальные замеры скорости воздушного потока, увлекаемого вращающимся сверлом. При помощи обработки полученных экспериментальных и расчетных значений скорости по статическим критериям оценены достоверность, адекватность модели, воспроизводимость экспериментов, теснота связи. В качестве критерия эффективности улавливания пыли насадком, используется величина максимального диаметра улавливаемых пылевых частиц. Выявлены закономерности изменения величины максимального диаметра от угловой скорости вращения сверла, изменении радиуса всасывающего отверстия и его удаленности от края насадка. В результате численного моделирования показано, что если не учитывать количество воздуха, увлекаемого вращающимся сверлом, то возможны значительные погрешности при определении максимального диаметра уловленных частиц. Разработанная компьютерная модель и выявленные закономерности улавливания пылевых частиц могут быть использованы для создания эффективного пылеулавливающего насадка. In the process of drilling wall structures with electric drills, significant dust emissions occur, which negatively affect human health and pollute the surrounding space. Development of compact nozzles-dust collectors that reduce dust emission is urgent. We offer a new design of a dust-collecting nozzle - suction for the localization of dust when drilling flat surfaces with electric drills. To select the required flow rate of air sucked out of the nozzle and its most rational dimensions, a computer model of the movement of the dust-air flow has been developed, taking into account the influence of the rotation of the drill. We used the software package SolidWorks , in the Flow Simulation extension where the Navier-Stokes and continuity equations were numerically solved using the k - ε turbulence model. The dynamics of dust particles was determined by numerically solving the differential equation of their motion with the Henderson drag coefficient. We carried out a number of experimental measurements of the speed of the air flow activated by the rotating drill to check the adequacy and reliability of the model. By processing the obtained experimental and calculated values of the velocity according to static criteria we assessed the reliability, adequacy of the model, reproducibility of experiments and tightness of the connection. As a criterion for the efficiency of dust collection by the nozzle, the value of the maximum diameter of the captured dust particles is used. As well we revealed some regularities of the change in the value of the maximum diameter from the angular speed of rotation of the drill, the change in the radius of the suction hole and its distance from the edge of the nozzle. As a result of numerical simulation, it is shown that not taking into account the air flow created by the rotating drill leads to significant errors, reaching 68%. The developed computer model and the revealed patterns of trapping dust particles can be used to create an effective dust-collecting nozzle.

Summary This paper presents an example of humid air flow around a single head of Chinese cabbage under conditions of complex heat transfer. This kind of numerical simulation allows us to create a heat and humidity transfer model between the Chinese cabbage and the flowing humid air. The calculations utilize the heat transfer model in porous medium, which includes the temperature difference between the solid (vegetable tissue) and fluid (air) phases of the porous medium. Modelling and calculations were performed in ANSYS Fluent 14.5 software.
