Hydraulic mode of operation of the Takhiatash hydroelectric complex

Abstract

This topic is the design characteristics of the liquid and solid runoff of the Amudarya river in the area of the hydroelectric complex, according to which the average long-term flow of the river at the site of the hydroelectric complex is 46.5 km3, the discharge is 1470 m3/s, the maximum is 5760 m3/s (July) and the minimum is 186 m3/s (March). The amount of suspended sediment reaches 5 – 6 kg/m3, and bottom 5 – 8% of suspended sediment. The annual volume of suspended sediment is 120 million tons, and taking into account bottom sediments – 130 million tons. It is noted that due to low water conditions, the Takhiatash dam operated with completely closed gates in all spans for a significant part of the year. The authors of the article provide data comparing the actual flow rates of turbidity and backwater at the Takhiatash hydroelectric complex with the calculated ones. It is proved that sharp fluctuations in the water level in front of the dam and water intake into the canals lead to a change in the hydraulic and alluvial operation of the canals. As shown by the analysis of the river channel cross-sections in the upper reach of the Takhiatash hydroelectric complex, in the initial period of operation, there is a decrease in the level of the river bed bottom. The subsequent years of operation of the hydroelectric complex (after 1982) were characterized by the stability of the ongoing channel processes in the downstream, which is characterized by its own level and discharge regime for each characteristic year. It is noted that the operating mode for dry years, which are characterized by the fact that during periods of chronic low water the gates of the shield dam are almost completely closed and its role in regulating the level regime is almost lost. In this case, the level and flow rates are regulated mainly by end regulators in the right-bank and left-bank systems of main canals, which in turn depend on the demands of limited water consumers. Under these conditions, it is extremely difficult to regulate the water level in the headwater, since it is required to keep at a certain level of the water level. It is noted that there were no difficulties with water intakes in high-water years, and the main difficulties are associated with the passage of flood flows through the shield dam. In recent years, there has been a rapid rise in the water level in the upstream, despite all the open gates of the dam, the navigable lock and water intake structures, which are explained by the influence of the introduced ponds on the throughput of the shield dam. It has been substantiated that without any damage to the water intake during the growing season, it is possible to effectively flush the headwater with a constant decrease in the water intake coefficient below the critical value of the water intake coefficient Kv < 0.55. In practice, for the Takhiatash hydroelectric complex, this means that the flushing flow rate should be at least Q ≥ 250 – 300 m3/s. Recommended: for the normal functioning of the Takhiatash hydroelectric complex, taking into account the requirements of all water consumers and sanitary passes to the downstream, it is necessary to clearly link with the operating regime of the Tuyamuyun reservoir.

Improved pump for transporting liquid feed mixtures through pipes on farms

“…The main calculated technological and energy indicators of the pump: flow rate-30m3 / h, discharge pressure -0.4 MPa, pump rotor speed 200 min-1, required power -6 kW, specific energy consumption of the technological process no more than -0.21 kWh / m3, the cost of working time for the execution of the technological process -0.034 h. The application of this improved pump in farm production requires careful learning. This requires the use of the most innovative [18,19] and modern pedagogical [20] technologies of teaching, online training of farmers and telecommunication training projects [21]. In such teaching, lectures are not in a simple traditional form but are problematic and modern lectures [22,23,24] should be conducted using interactive methods, ensuring the activity of the audience.…”

The forces acting on the teeth of catching machine

“…We now move on to justify the shape of the working surfaces of the device cover covers. In solving this problem, we proceed from the condition that the time of interaction between the working surface of the cover and the parts of the mouth is minimal [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. This is due to the fact that, firstly, the sheets are easily moved along the working surface, and secondly, the technological process is carried out with minimal energy consumption.…”

Experimental and theoretical studies of pumps of irrigation pumping stations

“…A new centrifugal pump with changed radii of flow entry into the impeller, blades at the entrance and exit from the impeller was introduced at the Alat pumping station as part of the Amu-Bukhara canal [4,21]. The introduction of new pumps reduces losses in the pump flow path and leads to energy savings.…”

“…As a normalized vibration parameter, the rootmean-square value (RMS) of vibration displacement in the operating frequency band of 10...1000 Hz is taken during stationary operation of the pump. Additionally, the assessment of the frequency components of the vibration spectrum in the characteristic frequency ranges, causally related to the general dynamic state of the unit[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].The distribution of pumps according to the general vibration level, indicating the direction at which the maximum value of vibration displacement is recorded, is presented in Table1.…”
