The simulation of carbon dioxide (CO2)-methane (CH4) mixed gas adsorption and the selectivity on zeolite 4A using Aspen Adsorption were studied. The influence of temperature ranging from 273 to 343 K, pressure up to 10 bar and various compositions of CO2 in the binary system were simulated. The findings of the study demonstrate that the models are accurate. In addition, the effects of various key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and various compositions of binary gases were investigated. The highest CO2 and CH4 adsorption are found at 273 K and 10 bar in the Langmuir isotherm model with 5.86 and 2.88 mmol/g, respectively. The amount of CO2 adsorbed and the selectivity of the binary mixture gas depends on the composition of CO2. The kinetics of adsorption for pure components of CO2 at high temperatures can reach saturation faster than CH4. The influence of the physical properties of zeolite 4A on kinetic adsorption were also studied, and it was observed that small adsorbent particles, large pore diameter, and large pore volume would enter saturation quickly. The prediction of CO2-CH4 mixed gas adsorption and selectivity on zeolite 4A were developed for further use for commercial gas separation.

This paper describes findings obtained to date in the area of journal gas bearings from an experimental study of a Brayton cycle turbocompressor designed for the requirements of a two-shaft 10-kw space power system. The journal bearing design utilizes three pads pivoted on conforming balls and sockets. Two of the pivots are rigidly mounted to the frame, and the third pivot is mounted to the frame through a low-spring-rate diaphragm. This paper describes the salient package and bearing design features and then presents the principal results obtained from testing the package in both a spin calibration rig and operation at design temperature conditions with an inert gas. The results discussed include (a) the successful use of a pneumatic loading device to vary pad load during operation, (b) the operating characteristics of the bearings as obtained over a range of pad loads and ambient conditions, (c) structural and dynamic behavior of the bearing-support system during design temperature operation and (d) a discussion of the wear characteristics of the conforming ball-and-socket pivot as obtained from the tests made to date.
