SummaryA facile synthesis of hitherto unreported 3-(2-benzofuroyl)carbazoles 3a–k, 3,6-bis(2-benzofuroyl)carbazoles 5a–k, and naphtho[2,1-b]furoylcarbazoles 3l and 5l is described. The synthesis mainly relies on the ultrasound-assisted Rap–Stoermer reaction of 3-chloroacetyl- (1) or 3,6-dichloroacetyl-9-ethyl-9H-carbazole (4) with various salicylaldehydes 2a–k as well as 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (2l) in CH3CN with the presence of PEG-400 as catalyst. The procedure offers easy access to benzofuroylcarbazoles in short reaction times and the products are obtained in moderate to good yields.
The dynamic characteristics of rod fastening rotor supported by a finite journal bearing are investigated in this study. To model the dynamic behaviors of the bearing-rotor system, the oil film force of bearing is calculated by approximately solving the Reynolds equation with the variables separation method and Sturm–Liouville theory, and then a motion equation is developed with consideration of the contact and gyro effects of the disks of the rotor. To solve the motion equation with small error and excellent stability, an improved Newmark method is proposed. On this basis, the dynamics characteristics of the rod fastening rotor are analyzed for different rotor speeds, disk eccentricities, shaft bearing stiffness, and contact stiffness. And the orbits of the rod fastening rotor and integral rotor are compared. The numerical results indicate that the analytical solution of the oil film force has higher computational efficiency than the finite difference method. The rod fastening rotor shows higher stability than the integral rotor, and exhibits rich dynamic behaviors, such as periodic, qusi-periodic, period-2, period-4, and period-6.
In modern internal combustion engines, the lubricant viscosity affects greatly the friction power loss. To obtain maximum fuel economy of the engines, the lubricants with different viscosities are considered to evaluate the friction properties of the compression ring-cylinder liner conjunction in the engines in this study. To conduct the evaluation, an improved mixed lubrication model is developed with considerations of the cylinder liner deformation, the lubricant thermal effect & transportation, and the change of lubrication condition from full flooded to starve. On this basis, the influence of different viscosity lubricants on the minimum oil film thickness, friction, power loss, FMEP, and wear load are investigated. The numerical result indicates that the low viscosity lubricant is more beneficial to facilitate the change of lubrication condition from starve to fully flooded. Furthermore, the low viscosity lubricant will result in large wear load on the compression ring surface while reducing the friction power loss.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
