The article presents the results of a study of a high-performance grain cleaning machine for the preliminary cleaning of grain pile with a closed aspiration system. The fl ow regimes of the "air-grain pile" mixture determined by the Reynolds number and the bulk concentration of particles are established. As a result of the modeling, further directions for improving pneumatic systems of grain cleaning machines were determined: the cleaning effi ciency of the Е 0 fraction of pure grain from light impurities, shriveled and crushed grain reaches 82%, the output cleanliness of the grain was 93.7%, and the loss of full grain to waste P z = 0,017%. The average speed of the air fl ow in the separating channel is U = 7.12 m/s, its coeffi cient of variation across the width of the separating channel is v = 12,7%. The results of the experimental data confi rmed the adequacy of using mathematical modeling of the air fl ow in the pneumatic system of a grain cleaning machine to substantiate the basic parameters of the pneumatic system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
