Otherwise it would be difficult to test them in-vehicle as they are already built-in. For such testing processes, a flexible test system is a good solution that can be easily modified at both hardware and software levels, especially for institutions like our research center where various types of electric motors from different manufacturers are dealt with.

Two major types of methods for estimating tire pressures exist: direct and indirect methods. In spite of recent advancements in direct Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMSs), indirect pressure monitoring systems still play a significant role due to their low costs. Indirect systems rely on the processing of signals from wheel speed sensors. In most cases, a transformation is applied to generate a frequency spectrum from which the tire pressure-dependent eigenfrequency can be extracted. The most accurate methods apply the Fourier transform, but these require the highest computational power. After the spectrum of signals from the wheel speed sensor is created, the eigenfrequency must be extracted. Several methods are available to extract significant frequency components. One of the easiest methods is peak searching, however, it is susceptible to noise. On the other hand, more accurate methods that are less sensitive to noise require more computational power. If a transform that consumes less computational power can be applied, then the freed resources can be used by a better eigenfrequency identification method. In this paper, a Hybrid Wavelet-Fourier Transform and Convolutional Neural Network-based method is presented, which exhibits a promising level of noise tolerance.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82783585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tar-free sand residue, approximately 90 % of which passes through a sieve with a pore size of 355 μm, was subjected to sieve analysis as well as sequences of panning gravity pre-concentration and shaking-table concentration at a slurry density of 25 % solids to improve the rutile content. The sand residue recovered in addition to the panned pre-concentrate and shaking table concentrates were also subjected to reflected light microscopy as well as transmitted light microscopy, counting using ImageJ software and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The micrographs obtained showed that the samples contain rutile, dark-brown in color, interlocked with the major silica content and the content of rutile estimated by ImageJ software increased in the pre-concentrate from 7.90 % to 19.23 % in the final concentrate. X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy also showed that the rutile content increased in the pre-concentrate from 1.43 % to 31.02 % in the final concentrate. Therefore, the rutile content was successfully increased by the cheap gravity techniques of panning and shaking tables.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80599294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the non-conventional modeling and simulation methodology of Programmable Process Structures is applied for the description of these process systems. Programmable Process Structures of HSC models are generated from the two general functional meta-prototypes of the method and from the description of the studied HSC network. The actual program prototypes of production, transformation, transportation, utilization and intermediate storage are copied from the meta-prototypes and filled with the locally executable declarative program code for the various classes of elements. The actual state and transition elements are parameterized and initialized according to their case-specific prototypes. The execution of the programmed HSC structures is solved by the general purpose kernel program. The application of methodology, developed in other fields, is illustrated by a fictitious, simplified HSC example. Analysis of this example model illustrates that the coordination of the hectically changing energy production of renewable resources with its seasonally and tendentiously changing demands is in need of dynamic simulation-based planning.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76785565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is usually connected to silos, hoppers, pneumatic conveying systems, bag filters or cyclones. In this paper, a simulation study is presented on the discharge of solid particles from a silo through a rotary valve. The discrete element method (DEM), which accounts for collisions between particles and particle-wall collisions, was used to model and simulate the motion of individual particles. The diameter of the simulated silo was 0.2 m and a total of 245,000 particles were calculated. In the simulations, the effect of the geometric and operational parameters of the rotary valve on the mass outflow rate was investigated. The diameter of the rotary valve varied between 0.06 and 0.12 m and the rotational speed of the rotor was changed between 0.5 and 5 1 . The simulations showed that the mass outflow rate of the particles from the rotary valve changes periodically due to its rotary cell structure. Within the lower range of rotational speeds of the rotor, the mass outflow rate of particles changes linearly in correlation with the rotational speed. The identification of this linear section is important in terms of control as this would facilitate the implementation of control devices by applying well-established linear control algorithms. Adjacent to the linear section, the dependence of the average mass outflow rate on the rotational speed was found to be nonlinear. Within the upper range of examined rotational speeds for each diameter of the rotary valve, the mass outflow rate reaches a maximum then decreases. The simulations were performed using GPU hardware. The application of parallel programming was an essential aspect of the simulations and significantly decreased the calculation time of simulations. In the treatment of particle-wall contacts, a novel flat triangular-based geometric representation technique was used which allows the particle-wall contacts to be calculated more effectively and their treatment implemented more easily into the parallel programming code. Using the calculated particle positions, the particles were visualized to view the effect of the interactions between the particles and rotor blades on particle motion. The simulation results showed that the discrete element method is capable of determining the detailed flow patterns of particles through the rotary valve at various rotational speeds.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85153046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mixing was investigated using various geometries of the tank by applying the Heaviside function in step-response experiments. After obtaining experimental results, the RTD function was calculated. The flow structure in the tank was approximated by fitting black-box transfer function models onto the RTD function of the system. Two general model structures were defined and their fitness compared. By evaluating the fitted models, a relationship was established between the flow structure in the tank and its geometry.","PeriodicalId":13010,"journal":{"name":"Hungarian Journal of Industrial Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77645474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
