摘要:
In the delayed coking of a coking feedstock wherein the feedstock is continuously heated in a coking heater and introduced into a coke drum, the heater is operated to provide a coke drum temperature of from 415.degree. to 455.degree. C., and, after filling of the drum to the desired level, feedstock introduction is discontinued and the coke drum contents are heated at a temperature of 450.degree. C. to 500.degree. C., and which heating temperature is at least 10.degree. C. greater than the coking temperature, by passing a non-coking vapor through the contents of the drum to reduce the volatile combustible matter content to a value of 4% to 10% by weight and thereby reduce the CTE of the formed coke. The process is applicable to the production of needle coke from various kinds of feedstocks, in particular from a petroleum feedstock wherein the feedstock is initially treated by thermal soaking in the presence of sulfur, followed by thermal cracking to increase the aromaticity. Noncrystalline substances may be removed prior to coking to further improve the process.

摘要:
In an electromotive power steering device, when input is received in a reverse direction, i.e., from the road, no assist torque connection is made in the reverse direction. The upper inertial moment is appropriately compensated for. Detection signals from each sensor are received and converted to an input torque, vehicle speed and phase angle. An assist torque command value is calculated from the input torque and the vehicle speed, and an angular velocity and angular acceleration are calculated from the phase angle. Subsequently, the inertial moment of the steering wheel is read and multiplied by the angular acceleration, thereby computing the inertial torque of the steering wheel. It is then determined whether the multiplication of the input torque and the angular velocity results in a positive value or a negative value. Only when the value is positive, correction is made of the assist torque command value. Consequently, no compensation for the upper inertial moment is made against the reverse input from the road. No malfunction arises.
