The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may receive the intended plant facility and the coarse intended plant material environment in which the intended plant facility is to be installed from the user terminal 110 (step S310).
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may receive the coarse intended plant material environment in which the intended plant facility intended by the user is to be installed through the coarse intended plant material environment receiving unit 220. The coarse intended plant material environment receiving unit 220 may receive information on the coarse intended plant material environment including the moisture range, the acidity range, the temperature range, the base range, and the wind range. Since the plant material to be used in the plant facility may vary depending on a place or environment where the plant facility is installed in spite of the same plant facility, the coarse intended plant material environment receiving unit 220 may comprehensively receive the information including the moisture, acidity, temperature, base, and wind ranges related to the intended plant material environment.
The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may create the standard plant material environment including the information on the intended plant material environment (step S320).
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may receive the standard plant material environment including the concentration, temperature, and velocity of the related material with respect to the coarse intended plant material environment through the standard plant material environment creating unit 230. For example, when the carbon steel used in the corresponding environment when carbon steel is used in an environment which is high in carbon dioxide as the coarse intended plant material environment, the standard plant material environment creating unit 230 may create the standard plant material environment based on the information on the concentration, temperature, and speed of the carbon steel used in the corresponding environment.
The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may convert the standard plant material environment into the actual plant material environment by estimating the material environment error range for the intended plant facility (step S330).
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may determine the material environmental error range by analyzing the mutual influence between the moisture range, the acidity range, the temperature range, the base range, and the wind range through the actual plant material environment creating unit 240. The actual plant material environment creating unit 240 may analyze the mutual influence between the moisture range, the acidity range, the temperature range, the base range, and the wind range according to an equation below.
ΔH=H+ln(P*C+S)+Sin 2πW+Cos 2πT
ΔC=C+ln(P*H+S)+Sin 2πW+Cos 2πT
ΔT=T+ln(P*H+W)+Sin 2πS+Cos 2πC
ΔS=S+ln(P*C+H)+Sin 2πW+Cos 2πT
ΔW=W+ln(P*C+S)+Sin 2πH+Cos 2πT [Equation 1]
ΔH represents the moisture range, ΔC represents the acidity range, ΔT represents the temperature ranges, ΔS represents the base range, and ΔW represents the wind range and H, C, T, S, and W correspond to H, C, T, S, and W in a standard state, respectively and P corresponds to standard atmospheric pressure.
In an embodiment, the actual plant material environment creating unit 240 sums up values for the moisture, the acidity, the temperature, the base, and the wind in the standard state and change rate by the mutual influence of the moisture, the acidity, the temperature, the base, and the wind to determine the material environment error range. Specifically, the actual plant material environment creating unit 240 may determine the material environment error range by analyzing the change rate between a data value for the standard plant material environment created based on standard data received through the plant material database unit 210 and a data value for the actual plant material environment which may be actually created in the intended plant material environment intended by the user. Consequently, the actual plant material environment creating unit 240 may convert the standard plant material environment into the actual plant material environment based on the calculated material environment error range.
The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may provide the recommended plant material which may be used in the actual plant material environment to the user terminal 110 from the plant material database unit 210.
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may provide at least one recommended plant material suitable for the actual plant material environment created through the actual plant material environment creating unit 240 to the user terminal 110. The user terminal 110 may allow the user to select the plant material intended by the user among the received recommended plant materials and provide the selected plant material and selection reason to the plant material recommendation apparatus 100.
The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may receive the candidate plant material and candidate material selection reason selected from the user terminal (step S350).
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may receive a candidate material selection reason including at least one of market price, hardness, tensile strength, elongation, heat distortion temperature, thermal conductivity, expansion coefficient, dielectric breakdown strength, strong acidity resistance, and strong alkaline resistance for each of at least one candidate plant material selected through the candidate plant material determining unit 250. The candidate plant material determining unit 250 may determine the reliability between the material properties of each of the recommended plant materials and the candidate material selection reason and make the recommended plant material corresponding to the reliability which is equal to or more than a reference value as the candidate plant material.
Specifically, when the candidate plant material determining unit 250 selects the market price, hardness, tensile strength, and elongation rate of the plant material as main factors for selecting the candidate material from the user terminal 110, the candidate plant material determining unit 250 analyzes reliability regarding whether the material property among the recommended plant materials is suitable for the selection reason to select the recommended plant material having the reliability of the reference value or more as the candidate plant material. The reference value of the reliability for judging the suitability of the material property of the plant material and the selection reason may vary according to the factors of the selection reason received from the user terminal 110 and when a specific environment or a specific property (e.g., a physical property) of the plant material is selected as a very important selection reason, the corresponding material may be selected as the candidate plant material with the highest priority.
The plant material recommendation apparatus 100 comprehensively analyzes the candidate material selection reasons to determine the final plant material (step S360).
In an embodiment, the plant material recommendation apparatus 100 may determine N selection reasons having the highest selection frequency based on all candidate material selection reasons received through the final plant material determining unit 260 and determine the recommended plant material having the highest matching degree with N selection reasons as the final plant material. The final plant material determining unit 260 may determine the matching degree through an equation below.
Y=(α*N1,β*N2,γ*N3, . . . ,ω*Nn) [Equation 2]
Y represents the matching degree, α, β, γ, . . . , ω as weighting coefficients are sequentially calculated by C*1/X (C is a positive constant and X is a positive number), and N1, N2, N3, . . . , Nn correspond to the number of materials including elements arranged in a descending order in N selection reasons.
In an embodiment, the final plant material determining unit 260 may arrange N selection reasons in the descending order and calculate the weighting factors α, β, γ, . . . , (sequentially calculated by a value corresponding to α>β>γ> . . . >ω). For example, when the user selects three selection reasons in the order of the market price, the thermal conductivity, and the dielectric breakdown strength, N1 may represent the number of plant materials including an element (e.g., copper) that selects the market price as the selection reason, N2 may represent the number of plant materials including an element (e.g., gold) that selects the thermal conductivity as the selection reason, and N3 may represent the number of plant materials including an element (e.g., carbon) that selects the dielectric breakdown strength as the selection reason.
Consequently, the final plant material determining unit 260 may determine the material including the element closest to the matching degree calculated through the equation above as the final plant material.
