Keywords: seed mixture, air flow, wind speed, critical speed, midel section, relative speed of movement

Abstract

Cleaning of agricultural crop seed is a necessary component to obtain the final product of the best quality. Therefore, for high-quality production of sugar beets, it is necessary to use high-quality sowing seeds. The seeds for sowing must be of high quality, namely physical purity, which in turn will allow us to obtain high yields. When cleaning seeds, or grains, their mechanical and technological properties are used, namely: the shape of the seed surface; its so-called geometric dimensions (length, width and thickness); density and others. During the cleaning of the mixture of sugar beet and wild radish seeds, according to aerodynamic properties, scientists proved that the seeds of the latter crop have the highest critical speed – 7.5 m/s, against 6 m/c for sugar beet seeds. Therefore, the division cannot be performed in this way. The article describes one of the methods of cleaning sugarcane seeds with an inclined air flow. This flow supplied the grain mixture according to the principle of dispersion of the trajectory of particles in the direction of the speed of the air flow. The rate of removal of sugar beet and wild radish seeds was determined by the ratio of the weight of the seeds that entered the upper receiver to the weight of the seeds of the lower receiver. D. Alembert's principle was used during the study of the movement of sugar beet and wild radish seeds in an inclined air flow. Calculations were made to determine the critical speed of sugar beet seeds and wild radish seeds; air flow resistance forces. The dependences of the change in buoyancy on envelopment with a moistened substance are given. In many scientific articles by scientists both from Ukraine and the world, methods and methods of cleaning the seeds of agricultural crops from impurities are given; the process of bleaching seed material on sieves is given. The obtained mathematical dependencies show us that only a change in the critical speed of the components of the mixture will allow us to better clean the sugar beet seeds in an inclined air flow that comes with the initial speed. Dependences on determining the relative speed of movement in the vertical air flow of the components of the seed mixture: sugar beet – wild radish are given.
