  • Patent number: 11661417
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a low-molecular mass organic gellant and a preparation method and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of gelled fuels. The low-molecular mass organic gellant has a cyclopropane structure. The cyclopropane structure belongs to a high-tension structure, which endows the gellant with excellent gel properties; in addition, the high-tension cyclopropane structure is also capable of greatly improving a combustion performance of the gellant, shortening an ignition delay time of the fuel, and promoting combustion. Moreover, multiple hydroxyl groups contained in the low-molecular mass organic gellant is capable of effectively forming a gel through hydrogen bonding; therefore, the gellant has excellent gel and shear thinning properties for high-energy density fuel and energetic nanofluid fuel, with a critical gellant concentration of not greater than 1% when forming a stable gel.

  • Publication number: 20200319656
    Abstract: A communication method for a water pump includes detecting whether the water pump receives connection data transmitted by a first control system after the water pump is powered on. The communication method also includes determining a target communication mode of the water pump based on the connection data, in response to a detection that the water pump receives the connection data and that a communication mode of the first control system is the same as a current communication mode of the water pump. The communication method further includes communicating with a second control system indicated by the connection data based on the target communication mode.

  • Patent number: 10519081
    Abstract: A process for preparation of a bicyclic fused-ring alkane. In the presence of a bifunctional solid catalyst, one or more cyclitols undergo a C—C coupling reaction with itself or each other at a temperature and in a nitrogen gas atmosphere, to produce a bicyclic alkane precursor mixture; then, the nitrogen gas is replaced by hydrogen gas, and the bicyclic alkane precursor mixture is hydrogenated or hydrodeoxygenated at a temperature and under a pressure, to produce the bicyclic fused-ring alkane. The proportion of the bicyclic fused-ring alkane in the product as prepared according to the process is not lower than 80 wt %.
