Break-off point

We may also want to use the zoom feature of MATLAB to zoom in and out of a plot to get a better picture of, say, the break-off point of two loci. Make sure you enter "zoom off" when you are done.

Break-off point At the break-off point, some distance from a nozzle orifice, a vibrating stream begins to separate into individual drops that are detached and electrically isolated both from each other and from the main column of the stream. 

Break-Off Point. The question comes up in every company concerning the amount of work that should be done on any technical service or application research problem. The break-off point is sometimes difficult to determine in the field of intermediate chemicals. For here your product plays only a part in the production of something else. Though you are primarily concerned with selling your product, you are obviously not going to sell very much unless your customer can successfully sell the end product which your product helps to make. Conceivably then, situations can develop where a customer may begin to look to your technical service or application research staffs for answers that are more directly related to his product than to yours. 

Elements should be easily identifiable (with clear start and break-off points) so that once established, they can be repeatedly recognized. Sounds (such as machine motor starts and stops) and change in motion of hand (putting down tool, reaching for material) are good breakpoints. 

That is, if we move the break-in point from g out to the left of G, we need to divide the information by G] prior to breaking in. The block diagram after moving both the branch-off and break-in points are shown as Steps 1 and 2 in Fig. E2.15b. (We could have drawn such that the loops are flush with one another at R.)... 

Once again there is a problem of convergence, this time at the points z = 1. It is therefore necessary to break off the series at the tom n = n where... 

Large drops wander through the bed to the downstream edge, grow there by accretion of other drops, and break off by a drip-point formation method. 

In this section only those taps and valves will be considered which are suitable for repeated use. Break-seals and seal-off points which can be considered as once-only valves are discussed in Section 3.2. Before discussing the different types of taps and valves there is a safety rule which applies to all taps which are operated by turning a key Always use two hands one hand to hold the tap barrel and the other to turn the key. 

Fig. 2.8. Break-seal ladder the different parts are not drawn to the same scale. Several portions of known volume of a liquid A are to be distilled into a container or apparatus B. Procedure One of the break-seals C is broken with the steel ball D and the required volume of A is distilled into a hanging burette (not shown) beyond E. The broken break-seal is sealed off by fusing at its seal-off point F then this first portion is distilled from the burette into B. For the next operation, D is transferred by a magnet into the next rung of the ladder. When all the break-seals have been used up, a second ladder can be attached at G and H without breaking the vacuum.

For one thing, steam produced from hot-lime-softened water will have some amount of silicates. These silicates tend to deposit on the rotor blades of turbines, which use the motive steam as a source of energy. The silicate fouling of the turbine blades reduces the turbine s efficiency. But, more importantly, from an operator s point of view, the silicate deposits eventually break off of the blades. This unbalances the rotor. An unbalanced rotor is the fundamental cause of vibration, Vibrations lead to damage of the shaft bearings and seals. Eventually, vibrations will destroy the turbine s internal components. 

The conception of a chain reaction in which the breaking off of the chains on the walls depends on the dimensions of the vessel or on the location of the point of ignition is untenable, since the chemical reaction in the propagation of a flame takes place in a narrow zone, the thickness of which is thousands of times less than the dimensions of the vessel and the reaction time of an individual volume element and even of the entire explosive mixture in the vessel is many times less than the time of diffusion of active centers to the walls of the vessel. 

According to Violle,1 the temperature of the positive carbon point and of the carbon particles in the voltaic arc equals the evaporation temperature of carbon. This was determined by breaking off the incandescent tip of the carbon and dropping it into a calorimeter. One gram carbon requires 1600 cal. to heat it from 0° up to its evaporation temperature. As 300 cal. are necessary to heat it from 0° to 1000°, 1300 cal. remain for raising the temperature from 1000° to x°, if x is the evaporation temperature of carbon. If we take the specific heat of carbon at 0.52, then 1300 cal. represent 2500° more, so that the evaporation temperature of carbon, x and the hottest parts of the luminous arc, equal 35000.2... 

The Americans took many series of photographs of the Upper Silesian industrial area, and some of them are of excellent quality. Unfortunately, the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp group is shown on only about half a dozen photos, all of which are of mediocre or poor quality. One qualitatively excellent sequence of photos from June 26, 1944, breaks off just before Auschwitz. While it is possible that the cameras were turned off immediately alter the plane flew over the main point of interest, namely the synthetic rubber plant in Monowitz, it seems more probable that these photos of excellent quality and resolution were in fact removed before the public could view them. We shall see the grounds for this supposition in the following.
