CONT

Trips employing auxiliary trip units include the Loss of Load trip and the APD – High trip. The Loss of Load trip is a contact input from the Electro Hydraulic Control System control oil pressure on each of the four high pressure stop valves. … 10. Loss of Load. The Loss of Load(turbine stop valve(TSV) control oil pressure) trip is anticipatory for the loss of heat removal capabilities of the secondary system following a turbine trip. The Loss of Load trip prevents lifting the pressurizer saftey valves, PORVs and MSSVs in the event of a turbine generator trip. Thus, the trip minimizes the pressure and temperature transients on the reactor by initiating a trip well before reaching the Pressurizer Pressure – High trip and pressurizer safety valve setpoints. The four RPS Loss of Load reactor trip channels receive their input from sensors mounted on the high pressure TSV actuators. Since there are four high pressure TSVs, one actuator per valve and one sensor per actuator, each sensor sends its signal to a different RPS channel. When the turbine trips, control oil is dumped from the high pressure TSVs. When the control oil pressure drops to the appropriate setpoint, a reactor trip signal is generated.

CONT

Rather than being sawn from a log, engineered wood is made from pieces that have been peeled, chipped or sliced, and bonded together with glue under pressure and heat. In the manufacturing process, defects in the wood bits are either removed or dispersed, making the final product stronger than the original log. Engineered wood products can typically carry nearly twice the load of an equivalent sawn piece of wood.

OBS

The main types of engineered woods comprise glulam (glued-laminated timber), parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), plywood, oriented strandboard (OSB), waferboard, prefabricated wood trusses and wood joists.

Au moment de la fabrication, les défauts qui se trouvent dans les morceaux de bois sont éliminés ou répartis sur toute la surface du produit, de sorte que la résistance du produit fini devient supérieure à celle de la grume qui a servi à sa fabrication.

The open-circuit voltage that develops when 2 (semi) conductors at different temperatures are joined.

CONT

The ’flip-side’ of the Peltier effect is the Seebeck effect-when thermal energy moves through an electrically-conductive material, charge carriers are transported by the heat. Thus when you create a temperature difference across a thermoelectric device, the movement of heat and charge carriers creates an electrical pressure(called Seebeck voltage). If an electrical load is connected across the device, current will flow-if not, the pressure builds to a steady state condition and a ’no-load’ voltage will be present.

Removal of suspended particulate material from a solution.

Classical DC(direct current) electrical discharge tube. In the glow discharge regime(10^14 to 5x10^18 charged particles/m^3, 10^4 to 5x10^4 K) the plasma is luminous due to excitation collisions by accelerated electrons. At high current densities the high heat load on the cathode triggers electron emission and the discharge changes to the highly luminous arc regime(10^20 to 10^25 charged particles/m^3, 2x10^3 to 10^5 K).

OBS

As the current and voltage increase, the cathode current density also increases, ultimately heating the cathode and causing incandescence and thermionic emission. Once the cathode is hot enough to emit electrons thermionically, the discharge will change to an arc regime.

  • Welding - Various Processes
CONT

Inertia welding (friction welding) has become a viable production welding method for parts having radial symmetry such as compressor drums. In this process, the metal preparation procedures are the same as for other techniques. The essence of the method is to convert rotational kinetic energy into heat to bring about controlled degrees of fusion and extrusion. Inertia welding can be done in air.

CONT

Intertia friction welding. Two workpiece parts to be joined are clamped rigidly in a sturdy fixed unit usually called the tailstock fixture and a rotating chuck assembly or collet drive. The spindle assembly, which includes one of the workpieces and any required flywheels, is rapidly accelerated to a pre-calculated speed, storing the energy required for welding. The spindle is disconnected from the drive source and begins to freewheel. At the same time, the ram assembly moves the non-rotating part axially to force both workpieces together, also a predetermined calculated(lbs.) thrust load. While the workpieces are thrust tightly together, friction between the interfaces convert kinetic energy stored in the rotating spindle and flywheel assemblies into heat at the interface, and finally into mechanical working of the plastic metals.
