Efficient design and operation of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are crucial for energy savings and comfort in buildings. Head loss through duct fittings plays a significant role in the overall efficiency of conditioned air distribution systems, as it can increase fan energy consumption and reduce system performance. This study focuses on the statistical modeling of head loss in duct fittings, with the goal of optimizing HVAC system design. Using data from a series of experiments and simulations, we developed predictive models that estimate head loss in various duct fittings (e.g., elbows, tees, dampers) based on factors such as flow velocity, duct size, and fitting geometry. The study employs regression analysis and machine learning techniques to analyze the relationships between these variables and the resulting head loss. Results show that the proposed statistical models provide accurate and reliable estimates of head loss, offering insights for improving HVAC system design by selecting more efficient fittings and minimizing energy losses. The findings contribute to the development of more energy-efficient and cost-effective HVAC solutions, with implications for building energy management and sustainability.

This article explores the design and analysis of a mobile mechanized system for harvesting apples and other similar fruits, addressing critical challenges in the agricultural sector such as labor shortages and rising operational costs. The proposed system is designed to meet key requirements for mobility, performance, compactness, and energy efficiency, with a capability to harvest up to 2 tons of fruits per hour. Components such as a lightweight chassis, conveyor belt, electric drive system, and loading mechanisms are described. Performance calculations demonstrate the system's efficiency, while an economic analysis highlights its cost-effectiveness, with projected returns on investment within 1–2 harvesting seasons. This mechanized solution offers a sustainable and profitable approach to modernizing fruit harvesting practices, particularly in regions like Uzbekistan with significant orchard production.

New structures of knitted fabrics and methods for their production have been developed by expanding the technological capabilities of modern knitting equipment, which allows solving a number of important tasks in knitting production: obtaining competitive products of a new range with regulation of properties and prices in a wide range. All variants of knitwear were developed under the same conditions: the tension, the depth of the thread culling and the pulling force of the knitwear were the same. The studied samples of knitwear were produced from different structures in various located loops and elongated broaches. The type of structure and graphics used for knitwear samples affects its technological parameters, despite the fact that all samples are made with the same yarn. This means that it is possible to expand the range of knitted fabrics and reduce the consumption of raw materials in the development of it, not only by changing the yarn, but also by choosing the right weave patterns.

Optimal Power Flow (OPF) is a critical problem in power system operation and planning, aimed at determining the most efficient operational conditions of the system while respecting various operational constraints. Genetic Algorithms (GA), with their ability to solve complex optimization problems, have been increasingly employed to address the OPF problem. This study focuses on performing a parametric analysis to investigate the impact of selecting appropriate control and state variables on the efficiency and effectiveness of GA-based OPF solutions. Various combinations of control variables (such as generator voltages, active power generation, and reactive power generation) and state variables (such as bus voltages and branch power flows) are analyzed in this study. The results highlight how the selection of control and state variables influences the convergence rate, computational time, and solution accuracy of the genetic algorithm. A series of parametric studies are conducted to optimize the parameters of the genetic algorithm, including population size, crossover rate, and mutation rate, to improve the overall performance of the OPF model. The study demonstrates the significance of variable selection in achieving more efficient and practical solutions for power system optimization. The findings suggest that the choice of control and state variables plays a crucial role in balancing the trade-offs between solution quality and computational efficiency.

The construction of road structures on soft soils is prone to structural damage due to the low bearing capacity of the soil under the load imposed by vehicles. Chemical stabilization is a popular method used to increase the bearing capacity of soft soils. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of soft soil stabilization using a mixture of lime, nickel slag, and aluminium hydroxide to enhance soil bearing capacity. The addition of lime as a binding agent is expected to reduce plasticity and increase soil strength, while nickel slag and aluminium hydroxide serve as additives that improve overall stabilization performance. The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) laboratory test was conducted by varying the proportions of stabilizing materials relative to the weight of the soft soil at its optimum moisture content. The lime addition variations used in this study were 2%, 4%, and 6%. The results showed that the lime, nickel slag, and aluminium hydroxide stabilization mixture significantly improved the soil's bearing capacity compared to untreated soil or soil stabilized only with nickel slag. The CBR value for soil stabilized with nickel slag, aluminium hydroxide, and lime reached 37.78% after 28 days of curing. This value is 7.6 times higher than that of natural soil and 1.3 times higher than soil stabilized with nickel slag alone. Thus, the use of a mixture of lime, nickel slag, and aluminium hydroxide is an effective method for increasing the bearing capacity of soft soils, making it applicable for road construction on soft soils requiring enhanced load-bearing capacity.

The presence of chromium in the environment poses a potential mutagenic hazard to all animal and plant life, including humans. Methods have been proposed for detecting the formation of chromium, isolating it, and recovering it from contaminated environmental samples. The permissible limits of chromium in environmental samples such as industrial waste, workplace particles, plants, aquatic animals, and food samples have been studied. A suitable organic reagent has been selected. A sorption spectroscopic method has been developed for the determination of chromium (III) in industrial effluents. An optimal sorbent has been selected for the chosen organic reagent. A method for immobilization was developed, and immobilization was carried out with the selected carrier. The pH dependence of the complex formation between chromium (III) and the organic reagent was studied. The structure of the complex formed with the immobilized Nitrozo-R reagent was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
