Abstract:
Recently it has become a trend to modify AC by adding different additives in AC system. In the modification, it is a key question to know what kind of additives should be added. So, qualitatively deformulating the additives will certainly help the research on and development of modifying AC a lot. In this paper, TLC (Thin Layer Chromatograph) was used to separate and purify the unknown assistant blowing agent in AC blowing system. After that, FTIR-Microscope was used to indicate the functional group in the uncommon unknown compound. Through combination of FTIR analysis, elemental analysis and other physical and chemical analysis, the molecular structure of the unknown was deduced. Finally, by explaining the unknown compound's MS spectra, the molecular structure of the unknown was confirmed further. The method can be extended to analyze other additives in AC blowing agent system whose various standard spectra are absent.

AC Synchronous Machine Synchronization
Three-phase wound-rotor synchronous generators are the main source of electrical power worldwide. They require a prime mover and an exciter in order to generate power. The prime mover can be a turbine spun by fluid (gas or liquid), thus the sources of the fluid can be water running off a dam through a long nozzle, steam from water evaporated using burned coal, etc. Most power plants including coal,...

Identification of Unknown Aldehydes and Ketones
Aldehydes and ketones have a carbonyl group (C=O) as a functional group. A ketone has two alkyl or aryl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon (RCOR’). The simplest ketone is acetone, which has two methyl groups attached to the carbonyl carbon (CH3COCH3).
An aldehyde is similar to a ketone, except that instead of two side groups connected to the carbonyl carbon, they have at least one hydrogen (RCOH). The simplest aldehyde is formaldehyde (HCOH), as it has two...
