  • Publication number: 20240157295
    Abstract: A transformational energy efficient technology using ionic liquid (IL) to couple with monoethanolamine (MEA) for catalytic CO2 capture is disclosed. [EMmim+][NTF2?] based catalysts are rationally synthesized and used for CO2 capture with MEA. A catalytic CO2 capture mechanism is disclosed according to experimental and computational studies on the [EMmim+][NTF2?] for the reversible CO2 sorption and desorption.

  • Patent number: 11840935
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling a vibration of a rotor in a turboshaft engine are provided. The method includes: establishing, based on a kinetic model for a rotor-casing system, a mapping matrix indicating a correspondence among an unbalance, an oil film clearance, and a vibration response; performing determination on a real-time vibration response, and skipping adjustment if the real-time vibration response is smaller than a response threshold; otherwise, approximately matching a real-time oil film clearance and the real-time vibration response with the mapping matrix to obtain a real-time unbalance; obtaining, based on the real-time unbalance and the mapping matrix, a preferred vibration response, and further obtaining a preferred oil film clearance; based on the preferred oil film clearance and the real-time oil film clearance, obtaining a clearance adjustment amount; generating a control signal based on the clearance adjustment amount, and performing adjustment based on the control signal.
