Although it is one of the smallest reservoirs in terms of water storage, the atmosphere is probably the second most important reservoir in the hydrosphere (after the oceans). The atmosphere has direct connections with all other reservoirs and the largest overall volume of fluxes. Water is present in the atmosphere in solid, liquid, and vapor forms, all of which are important components of the Earth s natural greenhouse effect. Cycling of water within the atmosphere, both physically (e.g. cloud formation) and chemically, is also integral to other biogeochemical cycles and climate. Consult Chapter 17 for more details.

Cation, anion, and water transport in ion-exchange membranes have been described by several phenomenological solution-diffusion models and electrokinetic pore-flow theories. Phenomenological models based on irreversible thermodynamics have been applied to cation-exchange membranes, including DuPont s Nafion perfluorosulfonic acid membranes [147, 148]. These models view the membrane as a black box and membrane properties such as ionic fluxes, water transport, and electric potential are related to one another without specifying the membrane structure and molecular-level mechanism for ion and solvent permeation. For a four-component system (one mobile cation, one mobile anion, water, and membrane fixed-charge sites), there are three independent flux equations (for cations, anions, and solvent species) of the form...

The status of safety-related systems and fiinctions is presented in a similar way, in accordance with the organization of the Emergency Operation Procedures (EOP). The parameters that are of immediate interest in a disturbance situation, are presented in a direct form. This means that the reactor pressure vessel with in- and outflow connections, together with neutron flux, water level, and reactor pressure, as well as control rods fiilly in (or not), are displayed directly. Other safety functions are indicated as normal, disturbed or failed in a similar way as for the plant overview, with detailed information at the reactor operator s desk. In this context, it can be noted that the computer-based reactor scram function via the reactor protection system (RPS) has been supplemented by a scram backup system that is implemented in hard-wired equipment.

However, in some cases, particularly with organic activators, the flux activity can be altered due to thermal exposure and become progressively less active and ultimately inactive. A common flux (water-white rosin) utilized in the solder reflow attachment of flip chips to their carriers exhibits this characteristic. Also, evaporation can deplete the activator to the point where its concentration is too low to be effective (i.e., an excessive hold at temperatures just below the solder melting temperature can render a flux ineffective). It is essential that the reflow thermal profile be optimized to take advantage of an activator s most effective activity temperature range.
