New Type Lube Oil for HFC-134a Compressor System

In order to find proper lubricants for HFC-134a compressor system, many polar compounds have been synthesized and evaluated. Among such compounds, polyalkylene glycol (PAG) derivatives and carboxylates (esters) have been identified as candidates for car air· conditioners and for refrigerators respectively.',.') However, it is dear that these amdidates have weaknesses: PAGs • demonstrate poor mi...

Optimal scheduling of a lube oil and paraffin production plant

An MILP model for the optimal scheduling of a lube oil and paraffin production plant is presented. The plant is composed of processing units that operate in continuous and discontinuous modes, and some are also duplicated. The raw materials for the process are stored in dedicated tanks, and the plant presents finite intermediate storage. The mathematical formulation was developed under a contin...

Synthesis and Characterization of Polyaniline/Magnetite Nanocomposite

A conducting-electroactive polyaniline/magnetite (PAni/Fe304) nanocomposite was synthesized using anilinium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (S1) as a reactive surfactant. First, S1 allowed magnetite dispersion in the aqueous phase and second, S1 performed as the monomer of polyaniline emeraldine base salt. Electron microscopy suggested core-shell morphology based on S1 amphiphilic character; that is, ...

Polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite materials prepared by sol–gel process

Polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite was prepared by sol–gel process via in situ emulsion polymerization. The influence of the synthetic conditions, such as the ratio of different monomers and the contents of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), c-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (Z-6030), diethanolamine (DAM) and ammonium persulfate (APS) on the physical mechanical properties of polyacrylate/silica nanoco...
