We tested RTILs using bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, TFSI-, anion and four quaternary ammonium cations, two quaternary phosphonium cations, and one imidazolium cation. The addition of 2-propanol into the RTILs clearly promoted the capture of normal CO<sub>2</sub>(nCO<sub>2</sub>) at ambient temperature and pressure. When combined with 2-propanol, the most efficient RTILs for nCO<sub>2</sub> capture were N-butyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium TFSI-. This enhancement of nCO<sub>2</sub> capture was not observed in RTIL mixtures with 1-propanol or in propanol mixtures containing other phosphonium- and imidazolium-based RTILs. The torsion angle of TFSI-, which was calculated using density functional theory, is thought to be related to high nCO<sub>2</sub> capture efficiently.展开更多

This study examined the torsional behavior of TriWP steel sections and compared to that of the fiat web （FW） steel sections. Three types of specimen sizes were used： 180 mmx 75 mm × 5 mm× 2 mm, 200 mm × 100 mm× 8 mm ×6 mm, and 200 mm× 100 mm × 6 mm× 5 mm. All the specimens were loaded vertically until the maximum load was achieved and then the load was released. For both types of specimens, it was observed that the torsional rotation for bigger size [200 mm× 100 mm× 8 mm × 6 mm] were smaller than that of smaller size [ 180 mm × 75 mm×5 mm× 2 mm] of the specimens. At the maximum torsional loading, the experimental result was compared to the theoretical calculation. The comparison showed that the percentage difference ranged from 1.10% to 16.80%. From the graph of torsional load versus rotational angle, the torsional rotation for all TriWP steel sections were smaller than that of the FW steel section under the same torsional loading i.e., 0.2 kNm and 1 kNm. The range between FW and TriWP were 3.74 to 71.83 at 0.2 kNm while 14.5 to 75.1 at 1.0 kNm. The findings were shown that the TriWP steel sections had better resistance against torsion in comparison to FW steel section.展开更多

It indicates that the detection precision of the torsion angle is 1 angular second or even less, carefully selecting the detector array. Significantly, experiments are performed to demonstrate the precision and the results match well with the simulations.展开更多
