Development of compression curves for determining accurate pulp chip pile masses based on volumetric measurements.

本项目将通过对木屑堆的形状和体积的分析，开发一个具有多个纸浆值的模型来确定木屑的质量。使用多个补偿系数将体积转换为质量是一种比当前行业做法更准确的方法，即在简单的总体积测量上应用一个通用补偿系数。碎屑桩的建模将考虑来自重力的压缩系数、碎屑的大小、来自机械的机械载荷、由于湿气质量引起的压缩、从桩上去除载荷后的减压速率以及碎屑堆中的空隙比。纸浆厂有兴趣获得一种系统，该系统可以根据需要准确确定其芯片库存的质量，而不需要对其芯片堆进行昂贵的第三方调查分析。这一研究伙伴关系将产生一个建模系统，满足工厂和其他对芯片感兴趣的行业的需求

This project will develop a model with multiple pulp values for determining the mass of chips through analysis of the shape and volume of wood chip piles. Using multiple compensation factors to convert volume to mass is by far a more accurate method than the current industry practice of applying a general compensation factor on a simple total volume measurement. The modeling of the chip pile will take into consideration compression factors from gravity, size of chips, mechanical loading from machinery, compression due to moisture mass, rates of decompression after loads are removed from the pile, and void space ratios in a pile of chips. Pulp mills are interested in acquiring a system which can accurately determine the masses of their chip inventory on demand without requiring expensive third party survey analysis of their chip piles. This research partnership will generate a modeling system that meets the needs of mills and other industries who are interested in chip
