Published: November 2024

This study presents an innovative scraper pump design. The design utilizes the synchronized movement of the upper and lower scrapers of the rotor to adjust the cavity volumes on either side, facilitating efficient fluid transfer. Unlike previous studies, scraper pumps face the challenge of dynamic contact between the scraper and the rotor due to their unique structure. A viscous wall strategy was employed to address hydrodynamic challenges at the point of contact, significantly improving performance prediction accuracy. The experimental data verified the accuracy of the simulation model, and the mass flow rate deviation between the simulation results and the experimental results was maintained within 10% when the viscosity at the contact point was set to 40 times the original medium viscosity. In addition, the study examined the effect of different operating speeds and load pressures on the pump performance. The results indicated that the outlet flow rate decreased by 22% when the pressure was increased from 2 MPa to 10 MPa and increased by 88.24% when the speed was increased from 900 r/min to 2200 r/min. These quantitative analyses provided valuable insights into optimizing scraper pump design and offered clear guidance for improving hydraulic performance and operational efficiency.

In the traditional optimization mathod, the process control parameters for fully mechanized mining face are determined by experts or technicians based on their own experience, which is lack of scientific basis, and need long production adjustment cycle. It is cause large loss, and not conducive to improving mine production efficiency. In order to solve this problem, the study proposes a process control parameter optimization method based on a mixed strategy of artificial neural network and genetic algorithm and uses a cross-entropy cost function to optimize an artificial neural network, which improves the learning speed and fitting accuracy of the neural network.

Our objective was to define and demonstrate a mechanistic model that enables dairy farmers to explore the impact of a technical or managerial innovation on electricity consumption, associated CO2 emissions, and electricity costs. We, therefore, (1) defined a model for electricity consumption on dairy farms (MECD) capable of simulating total electricity consumption along with related CO2 emissions and electricity costs on dairy farms on a monthly basis; (2) validated the MECD using empirical data of 1yr on commercial spring calving, grass-based dairy farms with 45, 88, and 195 milking cows; and (3) demonstrated the functionality of the model by applying 2 electricity tariffs to the electricity consumption data and examining the effect on total dairy farm electricity costs. The MECD was developed using a mechanistic modeling approach and required the key inputs of milk production, cow number, and details relating to the milk-cooling system, milking machine system, water-heating system, lighting systems, water pump systems, and the winter housing facilities as well as details relating to the management of the farm (e.
