All-volatile treatment(AVT) uses volatile alkalising agents exclusively and is permitted only if demineralised BFW [boiler feedwater] is fed. AVT restricts the acid conductivity of the BW [boiler water] to [less than] 5 [microseconds]/cm for boiler with max. heat transfer of 250 kW/m² and for heat transfer above to [less than] 3 [microseconds]/cm. Due to the distribution rate(concentration in steam phase to concentration in water phase) of volatile chemicals, lower pressure liquids are frequently insufficiently alkalised … All volatile chemicals show excellent alkalisation effect at room temperature(during lab analysis) … 2, record 4, English, - all%2Dvolatile%20treatment

Shake, Rattle & Roll Poster.... Roll :... The long axis of the International Space Station rotates one complete revolution(end-over-end) during each full orbit around the Earth. Student Activity : Place a globe of the Earth on a table near the centre of the room. Walk around the room so that you are always facing the globe. How must you turn in order that you always face the globe? How much must the International Space Station turn during each orbit around the Earth so that it always has the same face "looking" down at the Earth? Student Challenge : Looking down on the Earth's North Pole, the International Space Station orbits the Earth in a counter-clockwise direction(this is the same direction as the Earth turns on its axis). Sketch the Earth(looking down on the North Pole) and add the orbit of the International Space Station. Show the ISS at three or four points during the orbit. Assuming the Sun is to the left of your diagram, what happens to the solar panels as the ISS travels around the Earth? If the ISS "tumbles" as it orbits the Earth, can you figure out how to keep the solar panels always facing the Sun? 1, record 6, English, - roll

Activité de l'élève : Placez un globe terrestre sur une table au centre d'une pièce. Faites le tour de la pièce de manière à ce que le globe soit toujours directement dans votre champ de vision. Comment devez-vous tourner pour que le globe soit toujours devant vous? Comment la Station spatiale internationale doit-elle tourner pendant chaque orbite autour de la Terre pour que ce soit toujours le même côté qui soit «orienté» vers la Terre? Défi : En prenant le pôle Nord comme point d'observation, nous constatons que la Station spatiale internationale orbite autour de la Terre dans le sens anti-horaire (dans le même sens que la Terre tourne autour de son axe). Faites un croquis de la Terre (en prenant le pôle Nord comme point d'observation) et reproduisez l'orbite empruntée par la Station spatiale internationale. En supposant que le Soleil est à gauche du croquis, qu'arrive-t-il aux panneaux solaires pendant que l'ISS tourne autour de la Terre?
