The article presents a methodology for calculating the force effect on a fibrous suspension of working bodies in a centrifugal grinding apparatus. The aim of the research is to calculate the force per tooth of an inertial body at different speeds of rotation of the rotor, to determine the effect of the circumferential speed of movement of inertial bodies on the grinding process of fibrous semi-finished products. The article discusses the mechanism of grinding on a centrifugal knife grinding apparatus, determines the tangential shear forces at the contact of the grinding satellite knives with the grinding bowl knives, determines the effect on the fiber of rolling friction forces and sliding friction forces when the grinding satellite knives come into contact with the grinding bowl knives, as well as the effect of specific pressure at the point of contact of the satellite knives with the grinding bowl knives under the influence of inertial forces. Based on the research results, it is scientifically substantiated that the forces arising at the minimum of the considered values of the rotation speed of inertial bodies are sufficient to break the fiber when using this installation for grinding fibrous semi-finished products. An increase in the speed of rotation of the satellites causes a positive change in the physical and mechanical characteristics of the finished castings.

The question of the use of vortex flowmeters with different versions of the flow body (TO) under operating conditions on the technological lines of pulp and paper production is considered. It is shown that when using different TO in vortex flowmeters, an error occurs in the working range of speeds (flow rates). The observed error arises due to a change in the Strouhal number (Sh) and is associated with the measurement method. In this case, the Strouhal number begins to depend not only on the TO used as a vortex generator, but also on the flow velocity and the concentration of the fibrous suspension. As the main comparative factor for the investigated TOs, the force action on the sensitive element (flexible electrode) located inside the TO was taken. The study was carried out in several stages using numerical modeling and experimental design method. According to the results of a numerical study, the dependence of the Strouhal number (Sh) on the flow rate (V) and the concentration of the suspension (c) is presented. In a comparative analysis of the deviation of the Strouhal number from the average values, it was revealed that MOT No. 1 has a minimal effect on the concentration of the suspension in the working range of flow rates (± 0.5%). This circumstance makes it possible to verify and test flow meters with such maintenance in conventional pouring installations. The analysis of the maintenance with respect to the signal-to-noise ratio shows that the purest signal is generated by the cylindrical maintenance (maintenance No. 3), and maintenance No. 2 and No. 1 have noticeably large noise. The differences are explained by the absence on the surface of a cylindrical TO of extra protrusions, faces, which leads to a smoother flow of a suspension around its surface, as well as to a decrease in internal spurious noise.

The article deals with the issue of studying the hydraulic resistance of vortex contact stages for rectification equipment used for separation of alcohol-containing solutions obtained on the basis of hydrolysate of vegetable raw materials. Based on the conducted research, the dependences for determining the hydraulic resistance coefficient for axial and tangential swirlers are obtained. It is shown how the design parameters affect the change in the coefficient of hydraulic resistance. Hydraulic resistance is an important hydrodynamic characteristic of contact stages, which characterizes the energy consumption of the gas flow for the mass transfer process and determines the scope of its application in practice. Knowledge of the amount of hydraulic losses in the device is also necessary when calculating the schemes of technological strapping of the device. Currently, there are numerous data on the study of regularities in the domestic and foreign literature.

Wood is of great practical importance as a starting material for the recovery of cellulose. Wood plays not only an important economic role as a building and finishing material, but is also one of the cheapest and most widely used raw materials for the industrial production of cellulose vines. In turn, the grinding equipment serves to divide the cellulosic materials into fibers, from the grinding of the fibers and imparting certain properties to them. One of the most important properties of paper is mechanical strength. The standard provides for certain requirements for different types of paper, depending on the consumer conditions for the use of finished products. Durability of paper is determined by various indicators characterizing: paper resistance to a gap, breakdown, tear, an anguish, lengthening to a gap. In this work, the role of milling of fibrous materials in the general preparatory cycle of pulp and paper production is considered, the advantages of knife-free milling are presented, the factors determining the strength of paper are considered, functional dependencies of the main physical and mechanical characteristics of the finished product on the complex parameter of the quality of pulp milling and the complex parameter of the machine are obtained. Numerical value of complex parameter of grinding quality is determined depending on duration of grinding.
