Air Disinfection

The important problem of the poultry farming is the prevention of infectious diseases causing poultry deaths and unplanned financial losses. The article authors represent an overview of the air disinfection methods and the selection criteria for the disinfection methods being the most effective among other methods applicable for poultry facilities. There were determined the main factors influencing the germicidal efficiency of the ultraviolet (UV) irradiance sources. Studies were considered, where influence on the germicidal efficiency was discussed in terms of the UV irradiation exposure time in poultry facilities with floor conditions. The theoretical parameters substantiation is given for the device combining the two main disinfection components; it is done by development of both the mathematical model for the average irradiance rate calculation and the calculation method of the highspeed air flow parameters. Also, the method has been developed for determination of the needed number of the combined germicidal aerosol units in poultry keeping premises. The authors present the results of the experiments conducted for determination of the germicidal efficiency of the disinfection fulfilled against such microorganisms as Coli bacteria, Kochii bacilli, etc. with use of the developed combined recirculator. The experimental comparison with a prototype was carried out for the decontamination efficiency achieved with aid of the newly developed combined germicidal aerosol recirculator used in the following mode: the exposure time made 1 hour of work, then 2 hours of break on condition of the process cycling throughout the entire daylight hours. Here presented is the recommended layout of a number of the combined germicidal aerosol units in box-type rooms with poultry keeping on floor in a case of the ideal air flow direction. The increase by 20 % was found in the disinfection efficiency as well as the growth by 7 % in the additional live weight gain of the poultry.

Transfer Data

A new experimental technique is introduced which facilitates visualization of the fluid flow phenomena occurring on a small surface immersed in an air fluidized bed. The flow visualization was correlated qualitatively with heat transfer data from the surface. Heat transfer coefficients versus air velocity curves were obtained and found to be strongly dependent on the angle of inclination of the surface relative to the air flow direction. Flow visualization has facilitated the identification of three mechanisms of heat transfer to a surface as a function of the angle of inclination and the air flow velocity. These include, conduction through a stationary layer of particles, convection through a flow of solid particles, and heat transfer by sequential contact with voids and a well mixed conglomerate of solid particles.

Selection Of

Subways, as the places where a large number of people are present, are put under under stringent standards of high microlimate and air quality, namely, the content of air-borne dust. In order to maintain dust concentration within the permissible limits, it is suggested to install air filters at ventilation connections at subway stations, which are affected by the piston effect. Using the earlier experimental results, the nonstationary air flow parameters under the piston effect and the structure of air flow at the ventilation connections at subway stations are determined in two-dimensional layout, which allows selection of filtration equipment for removal of dust from subway air, and enables determination of the equipment location at ventilation connections. In order to validate the filtration equipment selection, the review and analysis of the geometry, design and performance of the available facilities are carried out. The most suitable filtration equipment for air dedusting is suggested.

Growth Trial

Abstract Mangalica pigs are a popular niche breed given their reputation for superior quality pork. However, growth and carcass parameters for this breed are poorly documented. Our objective was to better characterize optimal harvest weights for the Mangalica breed. To accomplish this, a growth trial was conducted whereby pigs (n=56) were randomly distributed across stratified harvest weights (50, 57, 68, 82, 93, 102, 127 kg) in a completely randomized design. Pigs were fed standard finisher rations with individual daily feed intakes and weekly body weights recorded for all animals. At 24h postmortem, carcasses were split and ribbed with marbling and loin eye area (LEA) measured at the 10th rib. Primal cuts were fabricated and individually weighed. Fat back was separated from the loin and weighed. As expected, live weight significantly increased across weight class (P < 0.0001). ADG was similar across classes up to 82 kg live weight before steadily declining with increasing weight class (P < 0.0025). Likewise, feed efficiency did not differ between classes until weights heavier than 82 kg (P < 0.03). LEA significantly increased by class up to 82 kg and then plateaued as harvest weight increased further (P < 0.003). Marbling score significantly increased with increasing weight class up to 102 kg where they then plateaued (p < 0.04). Fat back dramatically increased across all weight classes (p < 0.0001) despite negligible increases in LEA or marbling after 102 kg. Primal cut weights for the ham (P < 0.0001), loin (P < 0.0001), Boston butt (P < 0.0001), shoulder (P < 0.0001), and belly (P < 0.0001) all significantly increased with increasing live weight. These data suggest an optimal harvest weight occurs between 82 to 102 kg while offering little objective justification for the current practice of harvesting Mangalica pigs at much heavier live weights.

1. The construction and use of a wind-tunnel apparatus is described in which measurements of evaporation under controlled conditions of temperature, humidity and air flow can be made. 2. Two mathematical formulae, applicable to evaporation in relatively low wind speeds, are described. It is suggested that a promising approach to evaporation from moist-skinned animals is provided by the application of Leighly's formula: E = K(p0-pd)c(v/x)n, where the rate of evaporation (E) is expressed in terms of the vapour pressure at the evaporating surface (p0) and in the ambient air (pd), the wind speed (v) and the length of the evaporating surface parallel to the wind (x). The constant, K, is calculated independently and the terms n and c are left for empirical determination. 3. Values of n and c for different types of evaporating surface are given together with the method used in their calculation. Those relating to flat evaporators and to the snail, Helix aspersa, are shown to differ significantly. 4. In general n increases and c decreases as the amount of air disturbance caused by the snail increases. 5. The fact that n for flat surfaces is in good agreement with previously established theory is taken as evidence that Leighly's formula may be validly applied. 6. The combined determination of n and c is introduced as a convenient assessment of a complex form in terms of air flow and evaporation.

The valve coefficient was measured for 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 2 nominal ball valves. A recently designed orifice insert was used with these valves to obtain smaller valve coefficients. Orifice inserts were threaded into the body of a ball valve just upstream of the ball itself. The valve coefficient was measured for every insert used with these valves, and an expression was determined to relate the orifice diameter to other pertinent flow parameters. Two dimensionless groups were chosen to correlate the collected data, and expressions were developed that can be used as aids in sizing the orifice insert needed to obtain the desired valve coefficient. The study has shown that a 2nd order polynomial equation as well as a power law equation can both be used to predict the desired results. Knowing pipe size and schedule, the diameter of the orifice insert needed to obtain the required valve coefficient can be approximated with minimum error. An error analysis performed on the collected data shows that the results are highly accurate, and that the experimental process is repeatable.

Channel Type

Cyclones are widely used for separating particles from gas in energy production objects. The efficiency of conventional centrifugal air cleaning devices ranges from 85 to 90%, but the weakness of many cyclones is the low collection efficiency of particles less than 10 μm in diameter. The novelty of this work is the research of the channel-type treatment device, with few levels adapted for precipitation of fine particulate matter, acting by a centrifugal and filtration principle. Many factors have an impact on cyclone efficiency—humidity, temperature, gas (air) composition, airflow velocity and etc. Many scientists evaluated only the effect of origin and size of PM on cyclone efficiency. The effect of gas (air) composition and temperature, and humidity on the multi-channel cyclone-separator efficiency still demands contributions. Complex theoretical and experimental research on air flow parameters and the efficiency of a cylindrical eight-channel system with adjustable half-rings for removing fine-dispersive particles (<20 μm) was carried out. The impact of air humidity and temperature on air flow, and gaseous smoke components on the removal of wood ashes was analyzed. The dusty gas flow was regulated. During the experiment, the average velocity of the cyclone was 16 m/s, and the temperature was 20–50 °C. The current paper presents experimental research results of wood ash removal in an eight-channel cyclone and theoretical methodology for the calculation of airflow parameters and cyclone effectiveness.
