TECHNOLOGICAL SETUP OF A HOPPER FEEDER FOR PIGS
DescriptionConstructive-technological parameters of a hopper feeder have been established. They help to synchronize feeder’s flow and feed consumption by animals. Synchronization of these factors eliminates the initial cause of feed loss during fattening. It was found out that the main influence on feed loss is exerted by shape and geometrical parameters of feedstuff fill at the bottom of feeder, which depend on their physical and mechanical properties and on the feedstuff level in a hopper feeder. The fill balance condition at the bottom of a feeder is provided by compensation of feedstuff weight pressure inside a hopper due to the weight of a surcharge layer. The thickness of layer is proportional to the height of feedstuff volume inside a hopper and does not depend on technological gap between discharging feed line and the bottom of a feeder. It is found out that the discharging feedstuff is distributed throughout the bottom of a feeder. There is a central nonmoving area in the cone shape in alignment with the axis of the discharging feed line. This area functions as a shutter, which reduces the effective area of discharging channel. It is determined that the flow of feedstuff is set by adjusting the technological gap between discharging feed line and its bottom within defined limits. In accordance with physical and mechanical properties of feed this dependence of feedstuff flow allows to determine corresponding functional parameters of discharging feed line in order to meet the needs of a group of fattening animals

MANAGEMENT OF CHOCOLATE MASS STRUCTURE CREATION
DescriptionIn the article the processes of chocolate masses, which are determined by the kinetics of the interaction of the dispersed phase through the layer of the dispersion medium, i.e., determined by surface phenomena at the interface, were examined. The results of the study of surface-active properties of sunflower activated phospholipids and dietary supplements "Vitol", which were performed on the model of structured systems. A theoretical and experimental study of the development of practical recommendations for the use of surface-active substances in the production of chocolate masses is given. The ability of dietary supplements "Vitol" and PAF to control the properties of structured disperse systems, which include chocolate mass, was found out. It is shown that the input of sunflower activated phospholipid and dietary supplements "Vitol" to chocolate masses in certain quantities leads to a significant change in the nature of the deformation behavior of chocolate masses. The behavior of thin layers of cocoa butter, PAF and BAA "Vitol" on various liquid surfaces was introduced. The study was carried out by monolayers. The obtained results showed that increasing the pH of the substrate a surface pressure increases, and the film stretches and tends to spread. It has been shown that the injection of surfactant to cocoa butter film facilitates the spreading of water on cocoa butter. It is found that PAF and especially BAA "Vitol" pose the greatest surface pressure, and the most stable and dense layers comparing to other surfactants. Study of the properties of thin layers of cocoa butter and BAA "Vitol" liquid surfaces showed that dietary supplements "Vitol" significantly increases the ability to spread cocoa butter films on the surface of the water

FORECASTING OF LOSSES OF POWER IN THE POWER SYSTEM OF RUSSIA
DescriptionThe growth of breakdown in electric networks of Russia has been followed by the growth of industrial and domestic power consumption taking place in our country in the last decade. This situation is directly connected with the high percentage of outdated equipment in electric networks. Such thing as a loss of power is directly connected with deterioration of equipment and breakdown. Average losses of power in the country are at the level of 1980-s, despite the turning point to the side of reduction outlined recently. Forecasting is one of the activities that contribute to their reduction, as it allows identifying adverse trends and calculating the effect of different kinds of technological arrangements. The visible growth of interest in the intellectualization of education and in the different fields of industry should not avoid the electric power field, which is quite conservative. The development of the concept of a “smart network” and its implementation would help to improve the reliability of electric networks. One of the signs of such a network is the possibility to assess the current situation automatically and forecasting of its parameters in the future, including energy losses. This article examines the main factors affecting the value of power losses, the analysis of the most popular methods of forecasting is conducted, and conclusion about the prospects of their use to predict the losses of power has been made based on the results of this analysis

Description
The existing settlement modes of loading of wheels of cars are defined for the conditions which are closest to road service conditions and are reflected in the existing standards. However these standards can't be applied to an assessment of functional qualities of systems of cushioning the cars which are operated in the conditions of agricultural production. The small step of roughnesses, change the cushioned characteristics under the influence of operational factors lead to emergence of the off-design modes of the movement. The purpose of the work was the research of loading of wheels of the car when moving on mulch of grains. For the purpose of obtaining characteristics of the roughnesses influencing car wheels we have recorded a smoothed microprofile of the field and got the statistics, rated autocorrelated function, spectral density of influence of a microprofile. For carrying out the researches the known mathematical model of a car road system was accepted. Influence of speed of the movement, normal rigidity of springs and tires, coefficients of damping of a suspension bracket and tires on vertical fluctuations and loading of wheels of forward and back axes of the car is investigated. The executed researches showed that the movement of the car is followed by fluctuations of indicators of loading of running system with obviously expressed periodic components. The change of the coefficient of damping of a passive suspension bracket and tires in possible limits has no essential impact on loading of wheels. Values of normal roughness of springs of forward and back axes of the car, normal rigidity of tires at which dynamic load of wheels of the car is minimum are established

Description
The low rate of planting and harvesting mechanization is a common drawback of the equipment for hydroponic green fodder (HGF) cultivation. The system, that has been developed, is represented by a rack construction with a tray positioned on each rack; a tray is the place where the processes of seed dispersal and growth and the takeout of grown HGF occur. A tray with a pipe sways in opposite directions over pipe axis, and, as a result, moving bulk of seeds covers the entire tray surface with a seed layer of uniform thickness. The mathematical model of dynamics in the “granular medium – tray” system has been developed; on the basis of this model, after execution of simulation modeling, practical angles of tray tilt were identified as being within the range of 20 – 30 degrees. Experimental investigations have been carried out on the barley of “Vakula” cultivar with seed moisture contents 10%, 14%, 16% and 18%. During the research, the main factors influencing the process under consideration were identified: the moisture content in barley seeds; initial angle of tray tilt; the number of tray swaying motions. It was determined that the increase of tray filling rate can be achieved by means of setting up the initial angle of its tilt from a reference level, which depends on the moisture content in the barley seeds used in the process of HGF production. This angle is 22 – 24 degrees for the dry barley seed with moisture content 10-14% and 25 – 27degrees for the barley seed with higher moisture content. The upper limit of moisture content in the seeds used in work process should be specified to achieve high quality of a final product. The barley seeds with moisture content 10-15% and the angles of tray tilt 23 – 25 degrees should be used during HGF production

We give a brief description of existing methods: metric, topological and stochastic designed to solve this problem, indicating their advantages and disadvantages. This method is based on comparing of images by means of separation of the given domain into segments and calculation of pixels having certain optical density. The illustration example is presented. A computer program was created to use this method. The value of the segment is given by the operator with following limits: more than 3 single pixels and less than half of chosen square of image. The program makes up a segmental matrix of the image, which is compared in some interval of time to the current matrix. This method is used for interval monitoring of objects from the same point of observation
