Adsorption removing various basic nitrogen compounds from model diesel over allochroic silica gel by Xin Hong, Yunhe Li, Chang Gao, Yonghua Zhao, Ke Tang

“…The average pore diameters of silica gel and allochroic silica gel were 18.46 and 1.80 nm, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas were 437.86 and 623.39 m 2 /g, and the pore volumes were 0.9724 and 0.3442 cm 3 /g, respectively. The results of TPD showed that the acidity of allochroic silica gel was far stronger than that of silica gel which greatly enhanced its adsorption denitrogenation performance. …”

Design, Analysis, and Comparison of Electric Vehicle Electric Oil Pump Motor Rotors Using Ferrite Magnet by Huai-Cong Liu

“…While the rotor sizes are the same, to maximize the power density while meeting the rotor’s mechanical strength requirements, the different rotor configurations make the most use of ferrite magnets (weighing 58 g, 51.8 g, and 46.3 g, respectively). Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to compare the performance of these models with that of the basic rotor design, considering factors such as the no-load back electromotive force, no-load voltage harmonics (<10%), cogging torque (<0.1 Nm), load torque, motor loss, and efficiency (>80%). …”
