Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If thermogravimetric analysis is used to determine combustion characteristics, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to high time consumption and manual operation requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a computational model that copies and simulates the thermogravimetric analysis process through mathematical calculations. Instead of performing actual physical experiments, the system uses stored basic data and correction coefficients to compute combustion characteristics, thereby eliminating repetitive manual testing while maintaining determination accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-measuring and storing basic combustion data for various coals and gasification slags. These preliminary measurements are saved as reference data, allowing subsequent combustion characteristic determinations to be made through calculation rather than repeated experimentation, thus improving productivity without sacrificing precision.
2Measurement precision
If multiple tests are conducted for different mixed fuel ratios, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases due to repetitive testing
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses computational models to copy the results of multiple tests rather than actually performing them. By inputting different mixing ratios into the established calculation model, the system can rapidly determine combustion characteristics for various blend compositions without conducting physical experiments, thereby eliminating time loss while maintaining precision through the validated calculation methodology.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the approach from varying physical test conditions to changing calculation parameters. By modifying input parameters such as mixing ratios, volatile matter content, and fixed carbon content in the computational model, the system can efficiently evaluate multiple scenarios without the time penalty of repeated physical testing, thus resolving the contradiction between precision and time consumption.
3Reliability
If extensive experimental testing is performed, then reliability of combustion characteristic data is improved, but device complexity increases due to requirements for specialized equipment and expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical and complex thermogravimetric analysis equipment with a computational system. Instead of using specialized thermal analysis instruments that require expert operation, the system uses standard processors to execute calculation models based on input parameters, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining data reliability through mathematically rigorous methods.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service determination of combustion characteristics by using automatically stored basic data and correction coefficients. The computational model自行 (self) calculates combustion characteristics without requiring expert intervention or complex equipment operation, thus reducing device complexity and operational barriers while maintaining reliable results through consistent algorithmic processing.
