Item Experimental Study of the Intensity of Coal Dust Removal(Prydniprovs'ka State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2023) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Berlov, Oleksandr V.; Brazaluk, Yuliia V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Oladipo, Mutiu OlatoyeENG: Problem statement. Industrial sites where coal storages are located are intensive sources of dust pollution of the environment. There is an important problem of assessing the intensity of dust removal into the atmospheric air from polluted areas. Knowledge of the intensity of dust removal into the atmospheric air makes it possible to scientifically assess the impact of contaminated sites on the pollution of the environment and work zones at industrial sites. The solution to this problem can be obtained experimentally. The purpose of the article. An experimental study of the value of the air flow velocity at which the detachment of dust particles from the surface with coal begins and their removal into the air and the determination of the intensity of the emission of coal dust from the contaminated surface. Methodology. The intensity of removal of coal dust from the contaminated area was studied experimentally in laboratory conditions. The research was conducted on coal samples from DTEK “Pavlohradvuhillya”, grade “ДГ. During the research, the velocity of the air flow at which the process of movement of dust particles along the emission source began and the velocity of “detachment” of dust particles and their removal from the emission source were determined. At the second stage of experimental research, the intensity of removal of coal dust from the polluted area was determined. Scientific novelty. The values of the air velocity at which the removal of coal dust particles from the contaminated area begins were determined experimentally. The regularity of the intensity of the removal of coal dust depending on the velocity of the air flow over the contaminated area was obtained. Practical significance. The obtained experimental data make it possible to determine under which weather conditions there is a risk of dust formation and the removal of dust into the atmosphere. The empirical dependence obtained by processing experimental data can be used for a scientifically based assessment of the level of pollution of working areas at industrial sites where there are coal storage facilities. Conclusions. The value of the velocity of the air flow at which the movement of dust particles on the contaminated surface begins, as well as the value of the velocity of the air flow at which the removal of dust particles into the air begins, was determined experimentally. The resulting empirical model can be used to estimate environmental damage due to dust pollution of atmospheric air.Item Minimization of Environment Pollution from Coal Trains (dissertation)(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2020) Oladipo, Mutiu OlatoyeENG: The dissertation is devoted to the development of methods for minimizing the level of environmental pollution from dust pollution during coal transportation by rail. The transportation of coal from its production sites is carried out in coal wagons. In this case intensive environment pollution takes place. The analysis of modern methods of minimizing environmental pollution caused by coal dust showed that they require quite high costs, the use of additional equipment at stations of loading (unloading) of coal, much time for implementation. Analysis of scientific publications has shown the need to create effective and low cost methods of environment protection from pollution during the transportation of coal by rail. It is known that the intensity of dust pollution during coal transportation depends on many factors, the most important of which is the speed of the air near the surface of the cargo (local air flow speed). Therefore, to reduce the intensity of coal dust emission from the wagon, in this dissertation, some tools were selected that reduce the value of the local air flow speed near the surface of the coal. For this purpose it is offered to use special additional boards on the coal wagon and screens. In this dissertation on the basis of experimental and theoretical researches it is shown that application of additional boards of the special form ("vertical wall", "wing", "internal wing") and screens reduces coal dust removal from a wagon. On the basis of the performed experiments the regularities of dust zones formation on the underlying surface, both for coal wagon without and with additional boards or screens, were established. To determine the effectiveness of special boards, the screen application on the coal wagon a set of numerical models was developed. The models allow to predict air pollution in the case of coal transportation in wagons and when effectiveness of proposed means of environment protection. Modeling of dust air pollution during coal transportation in wagon is carried out on the basis of multidimensional differential mass transfer equations. Modeling of pollution process on the basis of these equations allows to obtain information about the formation of the coal dust concentration field in the whole study area, and not only at some point in the environment. The developed models allow to predict the level of atmosphere dust pollution taking with account of physical factors which were not previously taken into account in research works in this field, namely: geometric shape of additional boards, air flow speed near the cargo surface, coal dust emission rate, coal dust diffusion, wagon speed. It was shown that use of air curtain at the coal wagon allows to reduce dust pollution of environment during coal transportation. The practical value of the work is that the proposed methods of environment protection during the coal transportation require low economic costs for implementation. The manufacture of additional boards and screens can be performed using standard industrial equipment. The implementation of the proposed methods of protection does not require the installation of special equipment at loading stations (places of unloading), and does not require special retraining of workers. The effectiveness of the proposed methods of protection against environment dust pollution does not depend on climatic conditions. The developed numerical models allow to predict quickly the concentration of coal dust in the air, taking into account the main physical factors influencing the process of dust pollution. These models make it possible to reduce the share of physical experiment during research study in this scientific field. The experimental results obtained were compared with the theoretical ones obtained on the basis of the developed numerical models. The developed numerical models were also verified. Developed numerical models and methods of environmental protection are used in firm "Energoservice-KR" to develop technology to protect air from pollution during transportation of iron ore and coal, as well as in the educational process of the Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan.Item Modeling Coal Dust Dispersion from Pile with Protection Barriers(EDP Sciences, 2020) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Berlov, Oleksandr V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Kirichenko, Pavlo S.; Oladipo, Mutiu Olatoye; Poltoratskа, ViktoriiaEN: Abstract. The results of laboratory studies to evaluate the effectiveness of barriers which are used to reduce dust pollution from the coal pile are presented. The use of the Г-shaped barrier, which is set differently near the coal pile model, has been studied. A numerical model is proposed to compute coal dust concentration in the air near the pile. The Navier–Stokes equations are used to model the wind flow over the coal pile. These equations are written in the variables "vorticity-stream function". To simulate the process of coal dust dispersion from the coal pile, the equation of convective-diffusion transfer of the passive impurity is used. For numerical integration of the modeling equations, difference schemes of splitting are used. Developed numerical model allows to perform numerical experiments taking into account the complex geometric shape of the pile and screens. The results of the computational experiments are presented.Item Modeling of the Atmosphere Pollution From Coal Trains(Dnipro National University of Railway Transport named after Academician V. Lazaryan, 2019) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Oladipo, Mutiu Olatoye; Chernyatyeva, KaterynaEN: Abstract. Coal trains have an intensive impact on environment pollution. It is very important to predict adequately this impact during coal transportation. In Ukraine to predict atmosphere pollution from coal trains the regulatory model «OND-86» is used. This model does not take into account some important factors and coal train movement. We present numerical models to solve two problems:1) prediction of atmosphere pollution in the case of moving coal train; 2) prediction of atmosphere pollution in the case of additional special boards installation on the coal wagon. To solve these problems equation of coal duct convective- diffusive dispersion (Lagrange model of admixture dispersion) and equation of potential flow were used. Governing equations were numerically integrated using implicit difference schemes. For coding difference equations we used FORTRAN language. We present results of numerical experiments and laboratory experiments which illustrate the efficiency of the special additional boards installation on the coal wagon. These boards have «internal wing» and «external wing». The obtained results illustrate that installation of additional boards allows to minimize the atmosphere pollution near transport corridor.Item Prediction of Atmospheric Air Pollution Near a Coal Stack in Adverse Weather Conditions(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2023) Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Berlov, Oleksandr V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Nochvai, Volodymyr; Yakubovska, Zinaida M.; Oladipo, Mutiu OlatoyeENG: Coal piles on the territory of enterprises are long-term sources of dust pollution of atmospheric air. Forecasting the level of dust pollution of the air for such objects is carried out, as a rule, for convection conditions. But during inversion, very high concentrations of dust can occur on industrial sites. The task of assessing the level of dust pollution of atmospheric air at an industrial site during dust emission in conditions of inversion from a coal stack is considered. A three-dimensional equation of convective-diffusion dispersion of contamination in atmospheric air, compatible with the approach of Prof. Berliand M. on determining the value of the vertical diffusion coefficient in the surface layer of the atmosphere for the case of inversion, to model dispersion of dust from a coal stack under inversion conditions is used. Numerical integration of the modeling equation of convective-diffusion transport of contamination is carried out on the basis of the splitting method compatible with the use of a locally one-dimensional finite-difference scheme. The results of a computational experiment to determine dust pollution zones at the Prydniprovsk thermal power station are presented.Item Reducing of Coal Dust Release from Train Wagon with Barrier(IOP Publishing, 2020) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Berlov, Oleksandr V.; Oladipo, Mutiu Olatoye; Kirichenko, Pavlo S.EN: Intensive environment pollution takes place during coal transportation in open wagons. Emission of coal dust from the coal wagons cause contamination of atmosphere and territory adjacent to the railway track. Different ways to reduce coal dust emission from the wagon are used in the world. Unfortunately, in Ukraine, this problem is far from solution and there is no serious research work in this field. The aim of this work was laboratory study of coal dust emission from the wagon model which had different barriers installed on the wagon. Laboratory experiments were carried for coal wagon without barrier and for coal wagon which had barriers of two types. Barrier of the first type had downwind wing. Barrier of the second type had upwind wing. The contamination zones, concentration near the model were studied. The obtained results illustrate that installation of barriers influence intensity of transport corridor contamination. Also a numerical model was developed to estimate wind flow and coal dust dispersion from the coal wagon. Equation of potential flow and equation of coal dust dispersion were used. Implicit difference schemes of splitting were used for numerical simulation of governing equations. Results of numerical experiment, which were performed, are presented.Item Road with Fan for Reducing Exposure to Traffic Emissions(Kaunas University of Technology, Kaunas, Lithuania, 2021) Biliaiev, Mykola M.; Rusakova, Tetiana I.; Biliaieva, Viktoriia V.; Kozachyna, Vitalii A.; Oladipo, Mutiu OlatoyeENG:Problem statement. Emissions from cars on highways significantly affect the quality of the air. Therefore, there are two important tasks within this problem. The first task is to predict the level of air pollution near the highway. The second problem is to minimize the level of air pollution near the highway. The effective and quick method to assess a specific means effectiveness to protect air from pollution near highways is mathematical modeling. The purpose of the article. The aim of the paper is development of a numerical model to calculate pollution zones near the road, where axial exhaust fans are locally installed at the height of protective barriers, which ensure the intake of emissions from vehicles. Methodology. The basis of the mathematical model is the equation of convective-diffusion transfer of impurities, which takes into account the intensity of emissions from cars, the unevenness of the air flow, atmospheric diffusion. The calculation of the wind flow velocity field in the presence of cars, an axial fan and a protective screen on the road is carried out on the model of a vortex-free flow of an ideal fluid. For the numerical integration of the mass transfer equation, implicit difference splitting schemes are used. For the numerical solution of the aerodynamic equation, a conditional approximation difference scheme is used. Scientific novelty. Based on the numerical model, the code was created, which was used to solve the problem of assessing the level of pollution near the road in the presence of emission source (vehicles), with the location of screens and axial fan. Practical significance. The results of computational experiments to assess the effectiveness of axial fans to reduce the level of gas pollution near highways are presented. Scenarios considered: axial fan and protective barrier; additional screen on the barrier; axial fan and two protective barriers. Conclusion. A numerical model has been developed to determine the effectiveness of reducing air pollution using protective barriers on which an axial fan is installed. The model is based on the mass transfer equation and the equation for the velocity potential. A feature of the model is the possibility to take into account the complex geometric shape of the barrier.
