The objective of the study is to examine the Coats-Redfern approximation and to propose an innovative kinetic calculation method for the complex process of the heavy tar thermal decomposition under non-isothermal process. The thermal decomposition process was examined using the thermogravimetric analysis. There are several kinetic models proposed to analyze pyrolysis mechanism in terms of the formal reaction. In this manner, the kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis process can be evaluated based on total mass loss (thermogravimetric analysis –TGA). The TGA procedures can be conducted with isothermal or non-isothermal conditions, but the experimental data obtained according to this procedure have to be transformed into appropriate correlation. The obtained results have shown that the reaction takes place within temperature range of 540 K to 700 K and the inductive period of the process is about 224 min. Kinetic parameters were estimated with using of the conventional Coats-Redfern method. A new kinetic calculation method has been designed to provide a less laboriousness of identifications procedures compared with Coats-Redfern approximation and to take into account an induction time of the process. As the outcome of this study, it was shown that the kinetic parameters estimated with using of the proposed model-fitted method gives the more appropriate correlation in comparison with the conventional Coats-Redfern method. The proposed method uses the Coats-Redfern algorithm for evaluation of the reaction mechanism, but the value of the constant rate is defined directly from experimental data on the conversion rate.

The steering arm has recently been frequently broken in a kind of mining truck with Macpherson suspension. To accelerate replacing the broken parts and minimize the economic cost, a fast calculation method for improving the steering arm is proposed in this paper. In this method, the forces on the steering arm are calculated by quasi-static analysis under a low vehicle velocity. Dynamic characteristics of the tire and road are partly included by considering the ranges of the rolling resistance coefficient and friction coefficient from the empirical values, which determines the torque on the steering arm under extreme conditions. The rigid–flexible coupling model for the left steering mechanism in ANSYS Workbench is established and solved to obtain the distribution stress on the steering arm under extreme conditions. Then, the reliability of the simulation results based on this fast calculation method is verified by the experiment. After determining an improvement scheme considering the economic and time cost, the satisfactory strength is obtained. The results illustrate that the strength of the improved steering arm has nearly doubled. Finally, the effectiveness of the improved steering arm is demonstrated by the users’ feedback after it is manufactured, installed, and used.

In this paper, a calculation method based on matlab partial differential equations (PDE) tool is proposed to investigate the static characteristics of aerostatic spherical bearings. The Reynolds equation of aerostatic spherical bearings is transformed into a standard elliptic equation. The effects of geometric parameters and operational conditions on the film pressure, bearing film force, and stiffness are studied. The axial and radial eccentricities result in different film pressure distributions; the bearing film force and stiffness are significantly influenced by geometric parameters and operational conditions. The relative optimal parameters are confirmed based on the calculation results. A comparison between the numerical and experimental results is also presented. The highest relative error between the numerical results and the experimental data is 11.3%; the calculation results show good agreements with the experimental data, thus verifying the accuracy of the calculation method used in this paper.
