A significant amount of dust is released during the drilling process. It negatively affects the cleanliness and ecology of the surrounding space, as well as human health. The design of a local extraction nozzle is proposed for dedusting the process of drilling concrete with standard drills. A computer model of the dust-air flow in the developed nozzle is created in the software package SolidWorks Flow Simulation. The dynamics of dust particles formed during drilling is numerically studied. The behavior of dust particles of different sizes is considered. It is proposed to use the value of the maximum diameter of dust particles completely captured by the suction channel as a criterion for the efficiency of dust particle capture. Three variants of the drilling plane arrangement are considered: floor, ceiling and vertical wall. The dependences of the maximum diameter of dust particles on the intake air flow rate, the distance of the extraction channel on the side surface of the nozzle to the place of its abutment to the drilling plane, and the radius of the suction channel are determined. The results obtained can be used to design and improve systems for capturing dust pollution generated during drilling. The formulated further directions of research are useful for researchers engaged in identifying the processes of capturing dust particles from mobile technological equipment.

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.

<p>The paper presents an original solution for increasing air quality and reducing energy consumption of the local indoor ventilation by using cross-flow fans. The solution is a combination between the local exhaust ventilation (LEV) technique from industry, negative-pressure isolation rooms used in hospitals, and air curtains (AC) used for isolating of indoor/outdoor spaces. The solution provides a high air flow rate at low velocity due to the high value of the flow coefficient of the cross flow fans and, in the same time, allows modular setup according to local space geometry. A case study is proposed regarding the isolation of a smoking area where smell and airborne particles appear. A 3D numerical simulation was performed, in which one cross-flow fan with long axial length was considered. The optimum air flow rate and flow pattern was obtained in order to isolate the local space. The results show that a new approach for reducing sick building syndrome could be addressed by providing modular and local ventilation using cross-flow fans.</p>

The dust dynamics in an aspiration shelter equipped with various thin mechanical screens is considered. To calculate the trajectories of dust particles, the differential equation of their motion was used, the velocity field of the air flow was calculated by the method of boundary integral equations. The influence of different mechanical screens on the maximum diameter of dust particles is determined. It is shown that when using curved mechanical screens it is possible to significantly reduce dust extraction in the suction network.

Laptop’s cooling solution is very important. In some cases, due to poor cooling an over heat on the mother board, main chip, and other components occurs, so that the laptop is quickly broken. Therefore it is necessary to know the temperature distribution so that over heat can be overcome. One of the methods to determine the temperature distribution in this final project is a flow simulation, using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), 3D method with the variation if different air flow velocity, i.e. 5 m/s, 10 m/s, and 15 m/s. The higher the air flow rate, the higher the cooling occurs. From the temperature contours it is shown that the hot temperature is built up on the back of the heat sink. The results of the validation of this study and previous studies obtained an error that occurred was around 4%.Keywords: CFD, variation of air flow velocity, laptop.

Abstract Laboratory studies were conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of diffused aeration for the removal of ammonia from the effluent of an anaerobic filter treating leachate. The effects of pH, temperature and air flow on the process were studied. The coefficient of desorption of ammonia, KD for the anaerobic filter effluent (TKN 75 mg/L with NH3-N 88%) was determined at pH values of 9, 10 and 11, temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 30 and 35°C, and air flow rates of 50, 120, and 190 cm3/sec/L. Results indicated that nitrogen removal from the effluent of anaerobic filters by ammonia desorption was feasible. Removals exceeding 90% were obtained with 8 hours aeration at pH of 10, a temperature of 20°C, and an air flow rate of 190 cm3/sec/L. Ammonia desorption coefficients, KD, determined at other temperatures and air flow rates can be used to predict ammonia removals under a wide range of operating conditions.
