Current chamber

Based on our and other researchers experience, the minimum air flow across the board should be between 1.5 to 6 meters per minute(11). Current chamber research at the National Bureau of Standards (N.B.S) sponsored by the Consumer Products Safety Commission on formaldehdye emissitivity from pressed wood products is being conducted at 1.5 meters per minute face velocity(12). 

Electric current. Chambers I and II contain a fluid with n components carrying electrical charge (fe = 1, 2,..., n) per unit of mass. We assume that both the chambers are at the same temperature T and the concentrations are uniform in each chamber. M and are the masses of component k in chambers I and II, respectively. Similarly 4> and 4> are the potentials in the two chambers. In the system under discussion, we consider the transport of matter and electricity from one chamber to the other. In the process, both mass and change would be conserved. Thus we must have... 

Basically, two modes of operation of a liquid ionization chamber can be distinguished (1) ion current measurement and (2) electron pulse detection and counting. Ion current chambers are used in medical physics for dosimetry and radiation field mapping, while electron pulse chambers are employed in the detection of individual elementary particles and quanta in radiation and high energy physics. 

D. Neutron Detectors The detectors used to measure the spatial neutron distribution in the D2O assembly are of two types a current chamber and a proportional counter. In both types the neutron response depends on the reaction... 

The large thermal-neutron cross section for this event makes the instruments exceedingly sensitive. The response of the boron-coated current chamber is measured as a small ionization current which is proportional to the neutron density at the chamber location. The second type of detector, a BF3 proportional counter, is a pulse counter. Each event (reaction) occurring in the counter yields a short voltage pulse which is recorded on a conventional scaler. The rate at which these events occur is proportional to the neutron density at the position of the counter. 

A. Radial Distribution The measurement is made with the B current chamber. After turning on the drive units, current amplifier, and chart mechanism, move the detector to one extremity of its travel. With the chart recorder open, simultaneously mark the chart and start the chamber moving through the assembly at a slow speed. You will see the pen record a variation in neutron flux as you move through the exponential. Watch carefully as... 

Where there is a temperature difference between the object to be weighed and the surrounding air, air currents will be induced close to the object s surface (12). These can be significant if extreme accuracy is required. Objects should be allowed to reach thermal equiHbrium in the laboratory before weighing. Just as important, the balance should be designed to minimize the temperature rise inside the weighing chamber. In extreme cases, the object should be placed inside the chamber until it reaches thermal equiHbrium before weighing. Needless to say, drafts must be avoided.

The lshi2uka cell (39—41), another multipolar cell that has been ia use by Showa Titanium (Toyama, Japan), is a cylindrical cell divided ia half by a refractory wall. Each half is further divided iato an electrolysis chamber and a metal collection chamber. The electrolysis chamber contains terminal and center cathodes, with an anode placed between each cathode pair. Several bipolar electrodes are placed between each anode—cathode pair. The cell operates at 670°C and a current of 50 kA, which is equivalent to a 300 kA monopolar cell. 

The anode and cathode chambers are separated by a cation-permeable fluoropolymer-based membrane (see Membrane technology). Platinum-electroplated high surface area electrodes sold under the trade name of TySAR (Olin) (85,86) were used as the anode the cathode was formed from a two-layer HasteUoy (Cabot Corp.) C-22-mesh stmcture having a fine outer 60-mesh stmcture supported on a coarse inner mesh layer welded to a backplate. The cell voltage was 3.3 V at 8 kA/m, resulting ia a 40% current efficiency. The steady-state perchloric acid concentration was about 21% by weight.

In design of separating chambers, static vessels or continuous-flow tanks may be used. Care must be taken to protect the flow from turbulence, which coiild cause back mixing of partially separated fluids or which could cany unseparated hquids rapidly to the separated-hquid outlet. Vertical baffles to protect rising biibbles from flow currents are sometimes employed. Unseparated fluids should be distributed to the separating region as uniformly and with as little velocity as possible. When the bubble rise velocity is quite low, shallow tanks or flow channels should be used to minimize the residence time required.
