Synthesis of precision dosing system for liquid products based on electropneumatic complexes

This paper reports the construction of a mathematical model for the process of dosing liquid foods (non-carbonated drinking water). The model takes into consideration the differential equations of changes in the kinematic parameters of the liquid in a dosing device's channels and the corresponding accepted initial and boundary conditions of the process. The boundary conditions account for the influence of software-defined airlift dosing modes using the driver and the geometry of the product pipeline. The current's value measured in mA (with an accuracy of 0.001 mA) relative to the standard scale Imin is Imax=4...20 mA. Individual stages of the dosing process were analytically described, followed by the analysis of separate stages and accepted assumptions. The accuracy achieved when testing the experimental sample of the dispenser, with the repetition of the dose displacement process, ranged between 0.35 % and 0.8 %. The reported results are related to the established dosage weight of 50 ml when changing the initial level of liquid in the tank of the dosing feeder by 10 mm. An experimental bench has been proposed for investigating the functional mechatronic dosing module under the software-defined modes to form and discharge a dose of the product. The bench operates based on proportional feedback elements (4–20 mA) for step and sinusoidal pressure control laws in the dosing device. The control model with working dosing modes has been substantiated. The control models built are based on proportional elements and feedback. During the physical and mathematical modeling, the influence of individual parameters on the accuracy of the product dose formation was determined; ways to ensure the necessary distribution of compressed air pressure, subject to the specified productivity of the dosing feeder, were defined. The study results make it possible to improve the operation of precision dosing systems for liquid products based on electro-pneumatic complexes

Modification Of Various Product Pipeline System: Optimization and Scheduling

The optimal scheduling system of multi product pipelines is benefited to improve the economy and safety transportation. This paper addresses how to optimize detailed schedules of a multi-product pipeline. The study covers multi fluid pipeline by national pipeline company which is 130 Km. We concern with batching of (Gas oil, Jet fuel, Naphtha, Gasoline 80, Gasoline 95) and here comes the problem of contamination of one fluid with another which is leading fluid. This study estimates the volume of mixing zone for each interface by equation of Austin J.E and palfrey J.R, determines contaminated volume cost and storage volume needed for each cycle and assures that transportation is within flat zone and yield minimum value of interface volume providing the optimum multi-product pipeline scheduling.

Analytical Criterion for the Strength of Bonded-Dispersed Gels During Pipeline Transportation

Modern pipeline systems, both main and industrial, allow transporting a wide range of liquid and gaseous substances, including a variety of solid bulk materials, minerals, building materials and mixtures. However, the development of pipeline transport systems today is hindered by the lack of theoretical developments in the implementation of practical engineering projects for the creation of both main and industrial product pipelines for various purposes. Therefore, the further development of the theory of flows of various substances in pipelines and the creation of universal methods for engineering calculations of design parameters of pipeline systems based on this theory are priority tasks for the further development of product pipeline transport. The studies were carried out in accordance with the condition of stochastic transformation of the coagulation-thixotropic structure of the gel flow into sol. Such a stochastic transformation of the coagulation-thixotropic structure can be observed both when reaching the mode that determines the turbulent motion of a viscous colloidal solution, and somewhat earlier – at the stages of the laminar flow regime of the solution. Based on the formal phenomenological analysis, it has been determined that during the transition of the laminar mode of motion of the Newton fluid flow in a cylindrical tube to the turbulent mode, the transported structured gel flow is guaranteed to collapse into a colloidal sol. Based on the example of a typical design calculation of a technological (production) pipeline for the transportation of motor oils of the SAE-10 and SAE-40 grades, the optimal conditional internal diameters of the product pipeline were determined. The compliance of the design structural parameters of the pipelines with the corresponding physical and mechanical properties of the transported liquids was established. The proposed methods of engineering calculations of design parameters for technical objects of pipeline transport should expand and supplement the regulatory documentation for the preparation of projects for the construction of both main product pipelines and technological “interoperable” production pipelines

Study on mixing interface of continuous large drop and U-shaped product pipeline

In the long-distance pipeline of product oil, gasoline and diesel oil are transported in batches. Due to the large difference of physical properties between the two kinds of oil products, there will be oil mixing at each interface. Because the index parameters of mixed oil do not meet the sales standard, it is necessary to track the interface accurately, so as to provide necessary reference for cutting mixed oil. The topography of southwest mountainous area is characterized by continuous large drop and U-shape, which brings difficulties to batch tracking of product oil pipeline. The previous method is not suitable for this type of pipeline. Therefore, it is necessary to re study the batch tracking method of this type of product pipeline, and use vs2019 to write batch tracking software for continuous large drop and U-shaped product pipeline based on this method. The batch tracking error of the software for this type of pipeline is within the acceptable range, which can provide more accurate reference for the operation control personnel
