Assessing the influence of visual stimulus properties on steady-state visually evoked potentials and pupil diameter

Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs) are brain responses measurable via electroencephalography (EEG) in response to continuous visual stimulation at a constant frequency. SSVEPs have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of human vision and attention, as well as in the development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Ongoing questions remain about which type of visual stimulus causes the most potent SSVEP response. The current study investigated the effects of color, size, and flicker frequency on the signal-to-noise ratio of SSVEPs, complemented by pupillary light reflex measurements obtained through an eye-tracker. Six participants were presented with visual stimuli that differed in terms of color (white, red, green), shape (circles, squares, triangles), size (10,000 to 30,000 pixels), flicker frequency (8 to 25 Hz), and grouping (one stimulus at a time versus four stimuli presented in a 2×2 matrix to simulate a BCI). The results indicated that larger stimuli elicited stronger SSVEP responses and more pronounced pupil constriction. Additionally, the results revealed an interaction between stimulus color and flicker frequency, with red being more effective at lower frequencies and white at higher frequencies. Future SSVEP research could focus on the recommended waveform, interactions between SSVEP and power grid frequency, a wider range of flicker frequencies, a larger sample of participants, and a systematic comparison of the information transfer obtained through SSVEPs, pupil diameter, and eye movements.

Photonics-assisted self-interference cancellation for in-band full-duplex integrated sensing and communication transceiver

In-band full-duplex (IBFD) operation is essential for both sensing-centric and communication-centric integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) systems. Both types require the monostatic transceiver to overcome the technical challenge of self-interference (SI). To address this challenge, a photonics-assisted self-interference cancellation (SIC) scheme for an IBFD ISAC transceiver is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By utilizing wavelength division multiplexing, the SI is cancelled by a cancellation reference with matched amplitude and time delay, using two counter-biased Mach-Zehnder modulators. In proof-of-concept experiments, the proposed IBFD ISAC transceiver is tested using a 10 GHz quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constant envelope linear frequency modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CE-LFM-OFDM) ISAC signal with a carrier frequency and a bandwidth of 10 GHz and 2 GHz, respectively. Experimental results show that cancellation depths of 35.29 dB and 32.59 dB are achieved with bandwidths of 1 GHz and 2 GHz, respectively, in the communication receiver. The corresponding weak signal of interest is successfully recovered after effective SIC in the wireless link. The ranging and imaging functions are also experimentally verified. The experimental results show that the cancellation depth of the SI after de-chirping is 23.6 dB when the center frequency and bandwidth of the CE-LFM-OFDM RF signal are 10 GHz and 2 GHz, respectively. A dynamic range increase of 23.84 dB is achieved in imaging function. The corresponding radar ranging resolution of 10 cm is also achieved for radar function. The proposed scheme cancels the SI in both communication and radar receivers, demonstrating excellent performance in the IBFD ISAC transceiver system.

TiC reinforced Ti6Al4V fabricated by circular oscillating laser directed energy deposition: Microstructure and wear resistance

Gaussian laser is a common laser source in the field of laser directed energy deposition (L-DED). However, Gaussian laser sources have certain limitations, as they produce elevated temperature differentials and internal stresses during L-DED, which can result in significant distortion and fracturing. To address these restrictions, this research proposes using a circular oscillating laser as the energy source for L-DED. TC4 deposition samples and 5 wt% TiC/TC4 composite deposition samples were prepared using both Gaussian laser directed energy deposition (GL-DED) and circular oscillating laser directed energy deposition (COL-DED), and the deposition samples prepared under the two laser modes were compared and studied. The results indicate that, in the process of COL-DED, the laser oscillates periodically at a constant frequency in the high-temperature molten pool, which produces a more consistent temperature gradient and improved stirring effect in the molten pool. This inhibits grain growth and effectively refines the grains. Compared to the TiC/TC4 deposition samples prepared with Gaussian laser, the average grain size of COL TiC/TC4 deposition samples decreased by approximately 54.3 %. Due to the effects of the high-power laser beam, TiC particles partially melted and decomposed into Ti and C. As the laser advanced, the molten pool cooled swiftly, ultimately precipitating uniformly distributed gray-white TiC hard phases. Compared to the TC4 alloy prepared with the Gaussian laser, the TiC/TC4 composite material manufactured with a circular oscillating laser exhibited a 24.5 % increase in microhardness (430.76 HV0.2) and a reduction in wear rate of approximately 42.15 % (to 1.4 × 10−6 g/mm). Circular oscillating laser directed energy deposition can, to a certain extent, improve the hardness and wear resistance of materials compared to Gaussian laser directed energy deposition.

Investigating in vivo force and work production of rat medial gastrocnemius at varying locomotor speeds using a Muscle avatar.

Traditional work loop studies, that use sinusoidal length trajectories with constant frequencies, lack the complexities of in vivo muscle mechanics observed in modern studies. This study refines methodology of the "avatar" method (a modified work loop) to infer in vivo muscle mechanics using ex vivo experiments with mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles. The "avatar" method involves using EDL muscles to replicate in vivo time varying force, as demonstrated by previous studies focusing on guinea fowl lateral gastrocnemius (LG). The present study extends this method by using in vivo length trajectories and electromyographic (EMG) activity from rat medial gastrocnemius (MG) during various gaits on a treadmill. Methodological enhancements from previous work, including adjusted stimulation protocols and systematic variation of starting length, improved predictions of in vivo time varying force production (R2 0.80 - 0.96). The study confirms there are significant influence of length, stimulation, and their interactions on work loop variables (peak force, length at peak force, highest and average shortening velocity, and maximum and minimum active velocity), highlighting the importance of these interactions when muscles produce in vivo forces. We also investigated the limitations of traditional work loops in capturing muscle dynamics in legged locomotion (R2 0.01 - 0.71). While in vivo length trajectories enhanced force prediction, accurately predicting work per cycle remained challenging. Overall, the study emphasizes the utility of the "avatar" method in elucidating dynamic muscle mechanics and highlights areas for further investigation to refine its application in understanding in vivo muscle function.

An Analysis of a Complete Aircraft Electrical Power System Simulation Based on a Constant Speed Constant Frequency Configuration

Recent developments in aircraft electrical technology, such as the design and production of more electric aircraft (MEA) and major steps in the development of all-electric aircraft (AEA), have had a significant impact on aircraft’ electrical power systems (EPSs). However, the EPSs of the latest aircraft produced by the main players in the market, Airbus with the Neo series and Boeing with the NG and MAX series are still completely traditional and based on the constant speed constant frequency (CSCF) configuration. For alternating current ones, the EPS is composed of the following: prime movers, namely the aircraft turbofan engine (TE); the electrical power source, i.e., the integrated drive generator (IDG); the command and control system, the generator control unit (GCU); the transmission and the system distribution system; the protection system, i.e., the CBs (circuit breakers); and the electrical loads. This paper presents the analysis of this system using the Simscape package from Simulink v 8.7, a MATLAB v 9.0 program, which is actually the development of some systems designed in two previous personal papers. For the first time in the literature, a complete MATLAB modelled EPS system was presented, i.e., the aircraft turbofan engine model, driven by the constant speed drive system (CSD) (model presented in the first reference as a standalone type and with different parameters), linked to the synchronous generator (SG) (model presented in second reference for lower power and rotational speed) in the so-called integrated drive generator (IDG) and electrical loads.

Diagnosing tracer transport in convective penetration of a stably stratified layer

We use large-eddy simulations to study the penetration of a buoyant plume carrying a passive tracer into a stably stratified layer with constant buoyancy frequency. Using a buoyancy-tracer volume distribution, we develop a method for objectively partitioning plume fluid in buoyancy-tracer space into three regions, each of which corresponds to a coherent region in physical space. Specifically, we identify a source region where undiluted plume fluid enters the stratified layer, a transport region where much of the transition from undiluted to mixed fluid occurs in the plume cap and an accumulation region corresponding to a radially spreading intrusion. This method enables quantification of different measures of turbulence and mixing within each of the three regions, including potential energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates, an activity parameter and the instantaneous mixing efficiency. We find that the most intense buoyancy gradients lie in a thin layer at the cap of the penetrating plume. This provides the primary stage of mixing between plume and environment and exhibits a mixing efficiency around 50 %. Newly generated mixtures of environmental and plume fluid join the intrusion and experience relatively weak turbulence and buoyancy gradients. As the intrusion spreads radially, environmental fluid surrounding the intrusion is mixed into the intrusion with moderate mixing efficiency. This dominates the volume of environmental fluid entrained into the region containing plume fluid. However, the ‘strongest’ entrainment, as measured by the specific entrainment rate, is largest in the plume cap, where the most buoyant environmental fluid is entrained.

Direct Torque Control Space Vector Modulation for Induction Motor Driven by Matrix Converter

This study proposes enhancing induction motor (IM) drive systems by developing a DTC-MC with SVPWM integration to reduce ripple. DTC-MC is effective for precise torque control in AC drives, offering high control accuracy by isolating stator flux and torque. The method excels in sensor-less speed control, maintaining unity input power factor at low speeds, and constant switching frequency for rapid torque adjustments. Combining DTC-MC with SVPWM improves simplicity, dynamic behavior, and torque response. The DTC-SVM approach further refines the torque response by correcting flux and torque discrepancies. MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations validated the approach, showing a robust dynamic response and significantly reduced motor torque ripple and control of speed.

Inverted oscillator: quantum discrete spectrum

Abstract We use the invariant operator method to investigate the quantum characteristics of the inverted oscillator. We introduce a unitary transformation that maps a time-dependent general Hermitian linear invariant operator to a time-independent one, which describes a harmonic oscillator with a unit mass and a constant frequency. Our investigation includes three distinguished cases: negative frequency, zero frequency, and positive frequency. Our most interesting result concerns the last case. For the case of negative frequency, we propose a new inner product by the introduction of the new metric operator η. Coherent state for this case will be constructed.

Accelerated Nanocomposite Hydrogel Gelation Times Independent of Gold Nanoparticle Ligand Functionality.

The expansive use of hydrogels in healthcare relies on carefully tuned properties in dynamic environments with predictable behavior, including time sensitive biological systems and biomedical applications. To meet demands in these settings, nanomaterials are often introduced to a hydrogel matrix which simultaneously elevates potential applications while adding complexity to fundamental characteristics. With respect to drug delivery, gold nanoparticles have modifiable surfaces to carry an array of targeted drug treatments. However, different molecules acting as capping ligands possess different chemical structures that can impact gelation times. To understand the influence of capping ligand chemistry on polyacrylamide (PAM) based nanocomposite hydrogel radical gelation time, gold nanoparticle (Au NP) capping ligands were selected to encompass varying functional groups and molecular weights: citrate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and poly(acrylic acid). Gelation times were quantified as the storage-loss moduli crossover point in rheological time sweeps at constant strain and frequency. The dominating factor for gelation time was the presence of Au NPs, independent of a diverse range of capping ligand structures. The gelation times were also markedly faster than the same capping ligand structures used as stand-alone molecular additives. The accelerated Au NP gelation times, under 2 min, are attributed to the Au NPs acting as a cross-linker, promoting gelation. These results bolster the potential implementation of Au NP nanocomposite hydrogels in time-sensitive biomedical applications as robust drug carriers.

Warped CFT duals of the Plebański-Demiański family of solutions

In this paper, we analyze the symmetry properties of the complete family of type D spacetimes generalized form the Plebański-Demiański solution in four dimensions holographically in terms of a warped CFT. The generalized Plebański-Demiański solutions are black hole-like spacetimes characterized by seven physical parameters. Most of the black holes in four dimensions are included within this family. Generically consider a solution with horizon in this family, we figure out the possible warped conformal symmetry attached to the horizon. The horizon can be either extremal or non-extremal. In the extremal case, the near horizon region can be mapped to an infinite spacetime with geometry given by a warped and twist product of AdS2 and S2. The new boundary conditions for AdS2 as well as their higher dimensional uplifts are applied here to manifest the asymptotic symmetry as the warped conformal symmetry. In the non-extremal case, the global warped conformal symmetry is singled out by analyzing the scalar wave equation with constant frequency. The local warped conformal symmetries are represented by the charge algebra associated to the vector fields which preserve the scalar wave equation as well as its frequency. In defining the variation of the covariant charges, a proper counterterm is introduced for consistency conditions which is supposed to be suitable for all the solutions within the family. As a consistency check, the horizon entropy is reproduced by the entropy formula of the warped CFT by using its modular covariance and the central terms derived in the bulk spacetimes.

Experimental study on the operating characteristics of multiple collector direct expansion solar-assisted heat pump

Solar thermal application is one of the most important ways to replace fossil energy. The discontinuous heating character and low heating efficiency are two key factors that limit the large-scale promotion of solar thermal application. Large-scale direct expansion solar heat pump systems (DX-SAHP) can provide high efficiency and low-cost continuous heating. However, the characteristics of multiple collector arrays and the system's performance still need more research and exploration. In this paper, a DX-SAHP system with multiple solar collectors was constructed and the work process of the system under different operation conditions was expressed. An experimental platform with two DX-SAHP system was built and studied, and each system contained a 10HP compressor, 16 set solar collectors and one fin evaporator in parallel. The results show that the coefficient of performance (COP) of the system running with solar collectors was nearly 30 % higher than that with the fin evaporator under constant frequency mode, and nearly 45 % under variable frequency mode, indicating that such a system has better performance under variable frequency operation mode. The refrigerant in the collector/evaporators were distributed uniformly in equal-path connection mode, which was beneficial in promoting the system's performance. The heating performance of the system under sunny and cloudy weather conditions was analyzed and discussed, respectively. The test results indicated that the COP of the system on sunny or cloudy days was higher than 4.0, and the maximum hourly COP can reach 11.3 and the maximum hourly heating capacity was 27 kW.

Plasma-based base flow modification on swept-wing boundary layers: dependence on flow parameters

This work examines the control of cross-flow instabilities (CFIs) and laminar–turbulent transition on a swept wing, through the plasma-based base flow modification (BFM) technique. The effect of experimentally derived plasma body forces on the steady boundary layer base flow is explored through numerical simulations. Linear stability theory is subsequently used to predict the net BFM effect on CFIs. Based on these preliminary predictions, experiments are conducted in a low-turbulence wind tunnel where a spanwise-invariant plasma actuator is installed near the wing leading edge and operated at constant input voltage and frequency. Various flow parameters governing the plasma-based BFM technique are investigated, namely the Reynolds number, angle of attack and wavelength of excited stationary CFI modes. Stationary and travelling CFIs are quantified by planar particle image velocimetry while the transition topology and location are recorded by infrared thermography. The results confirm the stabilising effect of BFM on the swept-wing boundary layer. However, the plasma-based BFM is found to render the boundary layer more susceptible to travelling CFIs. In the presence of both net BFM effect and intrinsic plasma unsteady perturbations, the plasma-based BFM technique achieves transition delay with specific combinations of Reynolds number, angle of attack and wavelength of excited stationary CFI modes. The present findings provide insights into the fundamental principles of operating plasma actuators within the context of BFM control.

Automatic Extraction of VLF Constant‐Frequency Electromagnetic Wave Frequency Based on an Improved Vgg16‐Unet

AbstractConstant Frequency Electromagnetic Waves (CFEWs) refer to electromagnetic waves with a constant frequency. Man‐made CFEWs are mainly used in wireless communication, scientific research, global navigation and positioning systems, and military radar. CFEWs exhibit horizontal line characteristics higher than the background on spectrograms. In this study, we focus on Very Low Frequency (VLF) waveform data and power spectral data collected by the China Seismo‐Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) Electromagnetic Field Detector (EFD). We utilize deep learning techniques to construct an improved Vgg16‐Unet model for automatically detecting horizontal lines on time‐frequency spectrogram and extracting their frequencies. First, we transform waveform data into time‐frequency spectrogram with a duration of 2 s using Short‐Time Fourier Transform. Then, we manually label horizontal lines on the time‐frequency spectrogram using the Labelme tool to establish the dataset. Next, we establish and improve the Vgg16‐Unet deep learning model. Finally, we train and test the model using the dataset. Statistical experimental results show that the error rate of line detection is 0, indicating high reliability of the model, with fewer parameters and fast computation speed suitable for practical applications. Not only do we detect lines through the model, but we also obtain their frequencies. Additionally, in batch‐generated power spectrogram of CFEWs, we discover some unstable phenomena such as frequency shifts and fluctuations, which contribute to understanding the propagation mechanism of CFEWs in the ionosphere and improving the accuracy of related systems.

Direct Torque Control of a Dual Star Induction Generator Based on a Modified Space Vector PWM Under Fault Conditions

Recent studies have shown that electrical systems in wind power conversion are subject to a 67% failure rate, and conventional three-phase generators are considered to be the most sensitive to these faults. Induction generator current harmonics are a major source of torque ripples causing acoustic noise and vibrations. These ripples can progressively increase under faulty operating conditions. In six-phase machines, there is appearance of high harmonic currents in the air gap as space harmonics. Power electronic converters are also subject to faults, the most common being Short-Circuit (SC) and Open-Circuit (OC) faults. SC faults cause large peaks in the line currents, which trigger the protection devices, resulting in a complete shutdown of the production system. OC faults, on the other hand, cause imbalances in the phases, but the system remains in operation.Direct Torque Control (DTC) based on Space Vector Modulation (SVM) at constant switching frequency is an effective solution to tackle induction generator current harmonics. This paper proposes a DTC combined with a Proportional Integral Fuzzy Logic Controller (PIFLC) optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in order to overcome the problems of torque ripples. Furthermore, using Vector Space Decomposition (VSD) and the Modified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (MSVPWM) strategy, a significant reduction of harmonics in the air-gap can be achieved.Simulations were carried out under MATLAB/Simulink, and the results obtained demonstrate the superiority of the proposed DTC-PIFLC-PSO controller in terms of robustness against wind speed variations and under faulty switch conditions in the power converter of the Dual Star Induction Generator (DSIG) generator. In addition, a comparative study with the classical PI controller is presented to show the effectiveness of the DTC-PIFLC-PSO controller against faults with a significant reduction in the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) during both faulty and non-faulty conditions.

A novel online reinforcement learning‐based linear quadratic regulator for three‐level neutral‐point clamped DC/AC inverter

AbstractThis article proposes a novel online reinforcement learning‐based linear quadratic regulator for the three‐level neutral‐point clamped DC/AC voltage source inverter. The proposed controller employs online updated fixed‐weight recurrent neural network (NN) and policy iteration to dynamically adjust the optimal control gains based on real‐time measurements without any knowledge of the system model or offline pre‐training. Moreover, it produces a constant switching frequency with low current harmonics. Compared to the existing control methods, it provides superior control performance, guaranteed control stability, and simplified NN design. Experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Task-guided attention increases non-linearity of steady-state visually evoked potentials

Objective.Attention is a multifaceted cognitive process, with nonlinear dynamics playing a crucial role. We investigated the involvement of nonlinear processes in top-down visual attention.Approach.The research paradigm employed a contrast-modulated sequence of letters and numerals, encircled by a consistently flickering white square on a black background-a setup that generated steady-state visually evoked potentials. Nonlinear processes are recognized for eliciting and modulating the harmonics of constant frequencies. Using the rhythmic entrainment source separation technique, we examined the fundamental and harmonic frequencies of each stimulus to evaluate the underlying nonlinear dynamics during stimulus processing.Main results.In line with prior research, our findings indicate that the power spectrum density of electroencephalogram responses is influenced by both task presence and stimulus contrast. We discovered that actively searching for a target within a letter stream heightened the amplitude of the fundamental frequency and harmonics related to the background flickering stimulus. While the fundamental frequency amplitude remained unaffected by the stimulus contrast, a lower contrast led to an increase in the second harmonic's amplitude. We assessed the relationship between the contrast response function and the nonlinear-based harmonic responses.Significance.Our findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the nonlinear processes impacting top-down visual attention.

DC Regulation and Loop Gain Analysis of a DC-DC Switch Mode Power Supply: A Case Study on a Synchronous PWM Controlled Buck Converter

This study investigates the DC regulation of a DC-DC buck converter operating with pulse width modulation (PWM), taking into account the internal resistance of the coil and the on-resistance of the switching device. The effect of these parameters on the input/output disturbances is analyzed in continuous-conduction mode under constant frequency voltage mode control. The study also explores the effect on loop gain using the IRU3037 8-pin IC synchronous PWM controlled buck converter. The transfer function of the IRU3037 IC is derived from datasheet values using state-space averaging and AC small signal methods. A Type II compensator is then designed based on the derived transfer function. In addition, the step response characteristics of the open-loop and closed-loop circuits are investigated by time domain analysis.

Design and Control of DVR Based on Adaptive Bateman Polynomial for Power Quality Improvement

ABSTRACTPower quality issues encompass a spectrum of disturbances that affect the stability and reliability of the power supply. This study explores voltage‐related anomalies, including sags, surges, flickers, unbalances, harmonics, interruptions, and swells, examining their origins, characteristics, and repercussions. These issues arise from a myriad of sources, such as load fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, and grid dynamics. The ramifications of these disturbances extend to equipment malfunctions, reduced operational efficiency, and financial losses. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVRs) are series custom power devices for mitigating these voltage‐related anomalies and use real‐time monitoring and control to quickly inject exact voltages into the grid during disruptions, restoring voltage levels to acceptable levels. This study demonstrates the capacity of DVRs to successfully alleviate power quality concerns, hence improving equipment dependability and system stability by analyzing case studies and simulation findings. The control system used to supply switching signals to the voltage source converter (VSC) of the DVR is based on adaptive Bateman polynomial (ABMP). Traditional DVR control techniques often rely on fixed or linear control strategies, which may not adequately handle varying load conditions and disturbances. ABMP offers an adaptive approach where the control parameters can adjust dynamically based on real‐time system conditions. This adaptive capability enhances the accuracy of voltage restoration, ensuring that the DVR responds optimally to varying loads and disturbances. During voltage sag and swell conditions at the grid side, the VSC injects the compensating voltage in series with the feeder with a constant switching frequency. A battery energy‐supported system (BESS) based DVR is considered for the proposed system. The supply is connected to the critical and sensitive loads. The proposed control scheme is validated through extensive simulation and experimental results.

Two-plasmon-decay instability in the non-eigenmode regime in laser–plasma interaction

It is shown theoretically that the two-plasmon-decay instability (TPD) in laser–plasma interaction can be excited in the non-eigenmode regime, where the plasma density is larger than the quarter critical density. This appears when the laser amplitude is larger than a certain threshold value, which is found to increase with the plasma density. In this regime, the excited electrostatic modes have a constant frequency around half of the incident light frequency. The theoretical model is validated by particle-in-cell simulations. The simulation results show that the non-eigenmode TPD has a higher threshold amplitude for the pump laser than the non-eigenmode stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) excited in the plasma above the quarter critical density. In inhomogeneous plasma, competition between non-eigenmode TPD and non-eigenmode SRS occurs since the excitation of the former is normally accompanied by the latter.

РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНЫХ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЙ НАСОСА-ПОНТОНА ДЛЯ ЛАГУН-НАВОЗОХРАНИЛИЩ

The main methods of preparing organic fertilizers from manure runoff coming from pigbreeding complexes are analyzed. In particular, one of the effective technologies is the technology of homogenization of runoff in lagoons-manure storages. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the design and parameters of the pontoon pump for homogenization and pumping of liquid organic fertilizers (LOF) from lagoons-manure storages. The analysis of studies on the problem of homogenization and pumping of LFO from lagoons-manure storages made it possible to formulate scientific prerequisites for improving the working process of mixing manure runoff in manure storages and pumping them to the place of application to the soil. Their essence lies in the substantiation of the design parameters of the transporting screw - length, diameter and frequency of its rotation. A new design of the pontoon pump is described and a diagram of its location when changing the depth of the lagoon-manure storage is presented. A diagram of the working process for the pontoon pump, consisting of three stages, is developed. The pump flow rate, the total specific energy of the pumped liquid at the pump outlet, and the pressure created by the conveying screw are determined. The analysis of the forces applied to a point in the conveying part of the pontoon pump is performed, which made it possible to determine the trigonometric functions of the angular parameter. Research is conducted using the multifactorial experiment technique. An analytical dependence of the change in the pump pressure on the diameter of the conveying screw casing and the length of the conveying screw at a constant screw rotation frequency is obtained. A graphical dependence of the response surface is constructed. The obtained design parameters ensure the efficient flow of the working process of pumping ZOU from the manure storage lagoon with the specified parameters of pressure and flow rate.
