In the agriculture of Ukraine, a variety of drying installations are used, the design of which should ensure uniform heating and drying of grain, while at the same time allowing to control the temperature and humidity in the grain mass. The choice of an appropriate dryer can significantly improve the quality of dried grain, increase production profitability, increase production, reduce drying costs, and reduce energy costs. Currently, the most common drying method is convective, the disadvantages of existing convective grain dryers are low efficiency, low specific moisture removal, uneven drying, high costs of the drying agent, high energy consumption. The purpose of the study is to develop a drying plant designed for high throughput. The use of grain drying technology using microwave electromagnetic fields provides a number of significant advantages over conventional dryers that use only a thermal agent. Grain drying technology using microwave electromagnetic fields can be used in combined dryers. The technological scheme of the drying installation is developed, which is based on the principle of microwave heating, which allows to intensify the external and internal transfer during drying. In the developed scheme the drying process takes place in three working zones. In the first zone, heating is carried out by irradiation with an electromagnetic field in the microwave range of seeds to a certain temperature, the second - the aging of the seeds, where moisture is released in the inter-grain space. In the third zone, the layer is blown by air flow with the organization of fluidization. The main design and mode parameters using the software environment "Flowvision" are determined. Key words: grain, microwave oven, dryers, installation, electromagnetic field

Summary Background Post-COVID-19 fatigue is a frequent symptom in COVID-19 survivors, which substantially limits patients to achieve full recovery and potentially restrains return to work. The previous literature has not yet reported the use of pulsed electromagnetic fields in this indication. Methods Over the course of 5 weeks, 10 sessions of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment with a high magnetic flux density were applied to a patient suffering from post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome. Fatigue, work ability, quality of life as well as anxiety, depression, stress level, and resilience were evaluated using validated patient-reported outcome measures. Results Fatigue, work ability, quality of life, and psychological well-being improved clearly over the course of the treatment and showed stable results 6 weeks later. Conclusion The use of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with a device that allows sufficient penetration of the body tissue might be a promising physical modality to manage post-COVID-19 fatigue syndrome, which could reduce clinical and economic health consequences. Clinical sham-controlled studies are needed to evaluate the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields in this indication.

Современное развитие деревоперерабатывающей отрасли сопровождается существенным ростом объемов готовой продукции, производимой на основе клееной древесины. Качество выпускаемой клееной продукции во многом определяется свойствами применяемых клеев. Экспериментально исследовано влияние электромагнитного поля СВЧ-диапазона на структуру клеев, применяемых для склеивания древесины. Установлено, что СВЧ-обработка оказывает существенное влияние на микроструктуру поливинилацетатного клея Dorus 072. Структура клеевой пленки, обработанной СВЧ-излучением, имеет более высокую дисперсность, по сравнению с исходным полимером, которая выражается в среднем уменьшении глобул в 1,4 раза. Исследование фазового контраста пленки поливинилацетатного клея, обработанного СВЧ-излучением, позволило установить, что после обработки уменьшается фазовая неоднородность клеевой пленки и имеет место углубление дисперсности глобул полимера, приводящее к увеличению степени его упаковки с образованием однородной по структуре пленки. Экспериментальные исследования пленок карбамидоформальдегидного клея Dorus FU 406, подвергнутого СВЧ-обработке, показали, что структуры образцов пленок как обработанного, так и необработанного, клея не отличаются значительными изменениями. Исследование фазового сдвига по поверхности образца пленки карбамидоформальдегидного клея отражает распределение свойств материала и показывает, что СВЧ-обработка клея способствует образованию квазигомогенной структуры, формирование которой подтверждается уменьшением различий в границах фазовых переходов микроструктур отвержденного полимера. На основании проведенных экспериментов по исследованию структуры пленок клеев, применяемых для склеивания древесины, установлено, что в результате воздействия электромагнитного поля СВЧ-диапазона на клеевые растворы осуществляется нетепловая модификация, сопровождающаяся уменьшением размеров макромолекул полимера и формированием плотно упакованной структуры пленки. Полученные результаты позволяют сделать вывод о целесообразности дальнейших исследований по модификации клеев СВЧ-обработкой. Modern development of woodworking branches is accompanied by essential growth of volumes of the finished goods manufactured on the basis of glued wood. Quality of let out glued production in many respects is defined by properties of applied glues. Influence of an electromagnetic field of a microwave range on frame of the glues applied to coagglutination of wood is experimentally investigated. It is positioned that microwave processing makes essential impact on a microstructure of polyvinyl acetate glue Dorus 072. The frame of the adhesive film treated by microwave radiation, has higher dispersity in comparison with initial polymer which is expressed on the average reduction of globules in 1,4 times. Research of phase contrast of a film of the treated polyvinyl acetate glue by microwave radiation has allowed to position that after processing phase heterogeneity of an adhesive film decreases and the excavation of dispersity of globules of the polymer, leading to augmentation of degree of its packaging, forming an unimodal film on frame takes place. Experimental researches of films of amino-formaldehyde glue Dorus FU 406, subjected to microwave processing, have shown that Frames of samples of films both treated, and untreated glue do not differ significant changes. Research of phase alteration on a surface of the sample of a film of amino-formaldehyde glue reflects allocation of properties of a stuff and shows that glue microwave processing promotes formation of the quasi-homogeneous frame which formation proves to be true reduction of distinctions in borders of phase changes of microstructures hardning polymer. On the basis of the made experiments on research of frame of films of the glues applied to coagglutination of wood it is positioned that as a result of influence of an electromagnetic field of the microwave oven of a range on glutinous solutions not thermal modification accompanied by reduction of the dimensions of macromolecules of polymer and formation of densely packed frame of a film is carried out. The received results allow to draw a conclusion on expediency of the further researches on modification of glues by microwave processing.

AbstractTape placement manufacturing process, as one of the automated forming technologies for composite material, not only substantially improves the productivity of composite component and reduces the cost of production significantly but also raises the reliability and stability of composite structure. Automated tape placement technology is mainly applied for manufacturing the fuselage and wing panel of airplane characterized by small curvature and large size. For these kinds of structural components with a non-developable surface, trajectory planning by “natural path” method could reduce the internal stress and improve the quality of composite products to a certain extent but not be optimized by quantitative characterization. On the basis of preliminary work, the theoretical model of “unnatural degree” (UD) is introduced in the first step, which could characterize the tensile and shear strain of the laying tape quantitatively. Secondly, by adjusting the iterative step and laying direction to diminish the UD, local stress could be softened in order to optimize the laying track. Ultimately, the simulation model of the non-developable surface is established under the Matlab software environment, and the “variable step-angle” algorithm is adopted to verify the adjustment effect of the tape-laying track.

Abstract Possibilities of using electric methods for determining admixtures of oat meal to wheat flour, type 650 are presented. In wheat flour, oat meal and mixtures containing 10, 20 and 30% of the oat meal, moisture, protein, starch and ash content, sedimentation value, yield and softening of wet gluten were determined. In samples containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 100% of oat meal, the dielectric loss factor and conductivity were determined using an impedance analyzer for electromagnetic field frequency ranging from 0.1-20 kHz. It was found that the dielectric loss factor varied for tested material. The best distinguishing between tested mixtures was obtained at the measuring electromagnetic field frequency of 20 kHz. The loss factor was significantly correlated with the yield of wet gluten and the sedimentation value, parameters indicating the amount and quality of gluten proteins in flour.

The supply of heat to oil media pumped by pipeline transport systems is one of the main problems in the oil industry. The article describes a method for supplying heat to oil-containing media using the energy of an electromagnetic field. The possibility of releasing surfaces in contact with oil sludge under the influence of electromagnetic fields has been shown by experiment. We describe the design and parameters of a biconical horn radiator of a microwave electromagnetic field operating at a frequency of 2 450 MHz. A method for generating energy and transmitting it to the emitter by means of a coaxial cable is shown. Testing the emitter in oil placed in an optically transparent and radio-tight double-walled tank is presented. The design of the stand allows us to safely examine the thermal process using a thermal imager. The installation made it possible to heat 7 liters of oil at 15 °C in 12 minutes.
