Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
DEF

A component of photochemical smog, found to be 200 times as irritating to the eyes as formaldehyde; 0,02 ppm of peroxybenzoyl nitrate in the air causes moderate to severe conjunctival irritation.

CONT

PAN and its family of compounds. The family names which we have adopted are shown. They all have logical properties, consistent properties for a family. Peroxy benzoyl nitrate is the newest member and is especially interesting because it is far the most powerful eye irritant of the lot. PBzN was discovered at General Motors two or three years ago and came to us by accident. It hasn’t been proven yet that it is the most important irritant. I just said that it is the most powerful on a ppm basis. Threshold for eye irritation is somewhere around 10 ppb of PBzN.

OBS

PBzN: In this abbreviation, the third letter is a minuscule and is sometimes a subscript.

Record 12 2007-08-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Traction (Rail)
CONT

During dynamic braking, the rotors of the electric motors are allowed to rotate and produce electricity. By generating electricity, the conversion of energy provides resistance to movement that reduces the speed of the train. The converted electrical energy is then used or expelled into the atmosphere as heat. Dynamic braking is a general term used to describe the use of an electric motor as a generator to dissipate energy.

OBS

This type of braking is more precisely described by one of two terms, regenerative and rheostatic braking ... The difference between the two types of dynamic braking is what is done with the electricity after it has been produced. In regenerative braking, the electricity is either immediately reused ... or it is stored for later use. ... Rheostatic braking occurs when the electrical energy that is produced is run through resistors and dissipated as heat energy.
