Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking, and in particular to a method for judging whether a measured value of coke thermal properties has changed. Background Art

[0002] Coke is a key raw material for blast furnace ironmaking, and its thermal strength influences the furnace's air permeability. Coke with excellent thermal properties maintains a well-defined block structure within the blast furnace, stabilizing the porosity between charge layers and allowing gas to flow smoothly through the charge bed, ensuring good air permeability and facilitating reduction reactions within the furnace. Coke with excellent thermal properties provides stable support for the blast furnace charge, enabling it to descend evenly and steadily, ensuring the continuity and stability of blast furnace production and preventing problems such as poor charge descent, overhanging charge, and collapsing charge, which can seriously impact the furnace's smooth operation.

[0003] In actual production, when the measuring equipment is repaired or updated or a new sample preparation method or measuring method is adopted, there is currently no effective way to determine whether the quality of the sample coke has changed significantly under the premise that the same test data is obtained under two different working conditions.

[0048] Step 2: Select a CSR interval, and obtain the coke CRI data under operating condition I within the determined CSR interval to form sample T1, and obtain the coke CRI data under operating condition II within the determined CSR interval to form sample T2;

[0049] Step 3: Perform an equal variance test on sample T1 and sample T2 to obtain the first test result;

[0050] The Two-Sample Test for Equal Variances is used to determine whether the variances of two independent samples are equal. Common test methods include the F test and the Levene test.

[0051] The F test is applicable when both samples come from a normal distribution. The steps are as follows:

[0052] Assumptions:

[0053] Null hypothesis H 0 :σ1 2 =σ2 2

[0054] Alternative hypothesis H 1 :σ1 2 ≠σ2 2

[0055] Compute the test statistic:

[0057] where s1 2 and s2 2 are the variances of the two samples respectively.

[0058] Determine the critical value:

[0069] in, is the mean of the samples in group i, is the Z in the i-th group of samples ij The mean of For all Z ij The mean of .

[0070] Determine the critical value:

[0071] According to the significance level α and degrees of freedom (k-1, Nk), check the F distribution table.

[0072] decision making:

[0073] If the W value falls in the rejection region, reject the null hypothesis.

[0074] Step 4: When the population variances of sample T1 and sample T2 are equal, perform a two-sample t-test on sample T1 and sample T2 to obtain the second test result;

[0075] Furthermore, the step 4 includes:

[0076] Step 4.1: Calculate the statistic based on the means in samples T1 and T2;

[0077] In step 4.1, the statistical calculation formula is:

[0078]

[0079] in, represents the mean of sample T1, represents the mean of sample T2, n1 represents the sample size of sample T1, n2 represents the sample size of sample T2, and t represents the statistic;

[0080] It represents the pooled variance, and its calculation formula is:

[0081]

[0082] in, represents the variance of sample T1, represents the variance of sample T1.

[0083] Step 4.2: Calculate the degrees of freedom based on the sample sizes in samples T1 and T2;

[0084] In step 4.2, the degree of freedom is calculated as follows:

[0085] df = n1 + n2 - 2

[0086] Where df represents the degrees of freedom, n1 represents the sample size of sample T1, and n2 represents the sample size of sample T2.

[0087] Step 4.3: Obtain the second test result based on the statistic and degrees of freedom.

[0088] In step 4.3, the hypothesis testing steps are:

[0089] 1. Null hypothesis (H0): μ1 = μ2 (there is no significant difference in the means of the two groups).

[0090] 2. Look up the table and calculate the p-value: Based on the degrees of freedom and t-value, obtain the p-value and determine whether to reject H0 (usually p<0.05 is significant).

[0091] Step 5: When the population variances of sample T1 and sample T2 are not equal, perform Welch's t test on sample T1 and sample T2 to obtain the second test result;

[0092] Furthermore, the step 5 includes:

[0093] Step 5.1: Calculate the Welch's t-test statistic based on the sample variance;

[0094] In step 5.1, the Welch's t test statistic calculation formula is:

[0095]

[0096] in, represents the variance of sample T1, represents the variance of sample T1, represents the mean of sample T1, represents the mean of sample T2, n1 represents the sample size of sample T1, n2 represents the sample size of sample T2, and t represents the Welch's t test statistic.

[0097] Step 5.2: Calculate the degrees of freedom for the Welch's t-test based on the sample variance;

[0098] In step 5.2, the degrees of freedom for the Welch's t-test are calculated as:

[0099]

[0100] Here, df represents the degrees of freedom of Welch's t-test.

[0101] Step 5.3: Obtain a second test result based on the Welch's t test statistic and the Welch's t test degrees of freedom. In the present invention, the test result can be determined by looking up a table.

[0102] Step 6: Determine whether the thermal performance index of the coke has changed based on the first test result and the second test result.

[0103] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0104] (1) Compile statistics (according to the format in Table 1 below) for the measured data on the thermal properties of coke over a period of time. The horizontal rows represent different CSR intensity intervals (in this example, the statistics are performed with a step size of 1). The corresponding blanks are filled with the mean CRI value within that intensity interval and the total number of CRI measurement data within that intensity interval.

[0105] Table 1

[0106]

[0107] (2) To ensure a large number of samples, this example selects CRI data with an intensity between 67 and 68 for analysis. As can be seen from the table above, there are 109 coke CRI data with a CSR between 67 and 68 under operating condition I, which constitute sample T1. There are 36 coke CRI data under operating condition II, which constitute sample T2.

[0108] (3) Perform an equal variance test on the two samples. First, perform a normality test on the two sets of data. For samples that conform to the normal distribution, use the Levene method to perform an equal variance test. Figure 2 As shown, the P value is less than 0.05, indicating that the variances of the two samples are not equal.

[0109] (4) Perform a mean test on the two samples. To determine whether the variances of the two samples are unequal, Welch's t test is used. The test results are shown in Table 2-3. From the mean test results of the two samples, there is a significant difference between the two sample means (P value is 0.000, rejecting the null hypothesis).

[0110] Table 2

[0111] Method I 109 23.142 0.337 0.032 Method II 36 24.647 0.705 0.12

[0112] Table 3

[0113] T-value degrees of freedom P-value -12.35 40 0.000

[0114] (5) Based on the above results, the following conclusion can be drawn: Under the same CSR conditions, the CRI data measured under Condition I have a smaller variance and a lower mean than the CRI data measured under Condition II. This indicates that the measurement stability under Condition II is not as good as that under Condition I, and the CRI is too high. Therefore, the coke CRI index established under Condition I can no longer be used for control.

[0115] The present invention also provides an electronic device, comprising a bus, a transceiver, a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and runnable on the processor, wherein the transceiver, the memory, and the processor are connected via the bus, and is characterized in that when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps in the above-mentioned method for determining whether the value of the thermal performance measurement of coke has changed are implemented. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the electronic device provided by the present invention are the same as the beneficial effects of the method for determining whether the value of the thermal performance measurement of coke has changed described in the above-mentioned technical solution, and are not elaborated here.

Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the computer-readable storage medium provided by the present invention are the same as the beneficial effects of the method for determining whether the measured value of the thermal properties of coke has changed described in the above-mentioned technical solution, and will not be elaborated here.
