The uniform design method was used to screen the solidifying point depressing effects of 18 traditional diesel cold flow improvers on biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil. The cold flow improvers with good effects were selected for orthogonal optimization. Finally, the mixed cold flow improver (CFI) with the best depressing effect was selected to explore its depressing mechanism for biodiesel. The results show that the typical CFIs such as A132, A146, 10-320, 10-330, A-4, CS-1, AH-BSFH, Haote, T1804D, and HL21 all have a certain solidifying point depressing effect on biodiesel, while other cold flow improvers had no obvious effect. Amongst them, 10-330 (PMA polymer) and AH-BSFH (EVA polymer) had better solidifying point depressing effects over others, both of which reduced the solidifying point (SP) of biodiesel by 4 °C and the cold filter plugging point (CFPP) by 2 °C and 3 °C, respectively. From the orthogonal mixing experiment, it can be seen that the combination of 10-330 and AH-BSFH at a mass ratio of 1:8 had the best depressing effect, reducing the solidifying point and cold filter plugging point of biodiesel by 5 °C and 3 °C, respectively. Orthogonal analysis showed that when used in combination, AH-BSFH had a greater impact on the solidifying point, while the ratio of the combination had a greater impact on the cold filter plugging point.

The utilization and popularization of biodiesel are always limited by its poor cold flow properties. Both bio-based alcohol and diesel from direct coal liquefaction (DDCL) has potential to enhance the cold flow properties of biodiesel. Ternary blends of waste cooking oil biodiesel (BWCO) with DDCL and bio-based ethanol (ET) or 1-butanol (BT) for improving the cold flow properties of biodiesel. The pour point (PP), cold filter plugging point (CFPP), and cloud point (CP) of BWCO-ET, BWCO-BT, and BWCO-DDCL binary blends, and BWCO-ET-DDCL and BWCO-BT-DDCL ternary blends were comparatively assessed. Ternary phase diagrams were also applied into analyze the blending effect of the three components on the cold flow properties of biodiesel. Results showed that both DDCL, ET and BT can remarkably enhance the cold flow properties of BWCO. BT and DDCL presented a better synergistic depression effect. For ternary blends in 20:10:70 blending ratio, BWCO-BT-DDCL exhibited the lowest PP, CFPP, and CP of −23 °C, −19 °C, and −17 °C, respectively. The crystallization behavior and crystal morphology of blended fuels are also observed via a polarizing optical microscope, and find that DDCL together with BT in biodiesel can effectively retard the aggregation of large crystals and inhibit crystals growth.

A series of milling experiments with and without cutting fluid, arranged by uniform design method, were carried out on rotor material. The influence of cutting fluid on cutting force and surface roughness was explored and compared for the two kinds of conditions. The associated model was established between cutting force & surface roughness and cutting parameters according to the linear multivariable regression method. The results show that the cutting force deceases with the increase of the cutting speed or with the decrease of the feed per tooth and the cutting depth. Cutting fluid has little effect on cutting force, and for surface roughness, the influence of cutting fluid is uncertain.

By using LS-DYNA 3D software, the structure of forward annular shaped charge of torpedo tandem warhead is optimized in the simulation with uniform design method. During the simulation of annular shaped charge penetration into the plate underwater, the liner opening angle,liner thickness,charge height and charge angle are taken as factors, while the penetration depth is taken as index. The optimized structure parameters resulted form simulation can be used in the design of torpedo.

Formula uniform design method was adopted to study the performance of iron-based matrix with high content of phosphorus and boron. Two forms of regression models on matrix hardness and wear resistance and the optimum matrix formulae were obtained respectively by regression analysis and constrained nonlinear programming using MATLAB. Regression analyses indicate that matrix hardness was mainly affected by the factor of Ni, Co and Fe; matrix hardness and brittleness increased with the increment of P-Fe alloy, but decreased with the increase of 663-Cu. These results can be used as a rough guide for design of highly adaptive diamond bits for different rock formations. After the indoor experiments, diamond bit based on 3# matrix formula was made to perform field drilling tests. The results were that the penetration rate was 1.91m/h and the average diamond bit life was 67.37m.

The uniform design method is used to arrange experiment of dispersion polymerization of styrene, butyl acrylate and acryl acid. The stepwise regression technique is adopted to analyze the results. The mathematical models are built by regression equations between the microsphere conversion rate, the size and its distribution. There are many influencing factors, such as, 3 monomer concentrations, stabilizer concentration, initiator concentration, ratio of alcohol and water, temperature established, and their reliabilities evaluated. Although the predicted values from regression equation different from the observed values (relative divergences less than 10%),the regression equation can be used for designing particles and mechanism research. All above researches can be used for optimizing dispersion polymerization reaction conditions.

The random reliability analysis model for wear was established based on random process theory and wear research. The wear experiment scheme on load, sliding speed, surface hardness and bearing capacity of lubrication was instituted by the uniform design method, and carried out on a vertical universal friction/wear tester. The static wear predication model was established by the partial least squares based on test data. It is found that the wear extent obey to normal distribution by checkout of the probability paper and mathematic expectation function fitting and residuals distribution, the variance function fitting and residuals distribution based on the test data of random process. The reliability of definite working life was gained by calculating with established reliability model, and compared with test data, the analysis method is a valid method for wear reliability.
