As the sensitivity of the detector is 1 K, it would theoretically be possible to reproduce pictures incorporating all of the tonal shades recorded on board the space vessel. It does not work out this way in practice. Due to the number of spurious signals (static, noise) if every signal were to be reproduced on the picture, it would be distorted out of all recognition. Also, although the system I have just described has been improved by utilization of a cathode ray tube, the inertia factor has to be allowed for. 

Despite the reduction at ten temperature levels that we will take a look at below, the inertia factor distorts the pictures especially when a thermal gradient, for example a land-sea boundary, extends in the flight direction of the satellite - a very roughly north-south oriented boundary. In this case, the inertia factor usually shows up as a narrow, light strip along the coastline. I point this out because errors have already been committed in the analysis of photofacsimile when some interpreters have discovered non-existent features. 

For this duty cycle, the abbreviation is followed by the indication of the cyclic duration factor, the number of duty cycles per hour (c/h) and the factor of inertia (Ff). (See Section 3.4 for FI.) Thus, for a 40% CDF with 90 operating cycles per hour and factor of inertia of 2.5, the cycle will be represented by... 

Reactive control is also possible through synchronous condensers. As they rotate, the rotor stores kinetic energy which tends to absorb sudden Huctuations in the supply system, such as sudden loadings. They are. however, sluggish in operation and very expensive compared to thyristor controls. Their rotating masses add inertia, contribute to the transient oscillations and add to the fault level of the system. All these factors render them less suitable for such applications. Their application is therefore gradually disappearing.

Further contrast between metal and composite stiffeners is revealed when we examine the objectives and characteristics of stiffener design. For a metal stiffener of uniform or even nonuniform thickness, we attempt to maximize the moment of inertia of the stiffener in order to maximize the bending stiffness of the stiffener. Those two factors are proportional to one another when we realize that the bending stiffness of metal stiffeners about the middle surface of the plate or shell to which they are attached is... 

This sometimee Is called the moment of inertia of a plane section about a specified axis. The exact conversion factor is 1.636 706 4 E-06. 

Gravity, applied forces, and atmospheric pressure are examples of static factors that apply equally to fluids at rest or in motion. Inertia and friction are dynamic forces that apply only to fluids in motion. The mathematical sum of gravity, applied forces, and atmospheric pressure is the static pressure obtained at any one point in a fluid system at a given point in time. Static pressure exists in addition to any dynamic factors that may also be present at the same time. 

The dynamic factors of inertia and friction are related to the static factors. Velocity head and friction head are obtained at the expense of static head. However, a portion of the velocity head can always be reconverted to static head. Force, which can be produced by pressure or head when dealing with fluids, is necessary to start a body moving if it is at rest, and is present in some form when the motion of the body is arrested. Therefore, whenever a fluid is given velocity, some part of its original static head is used to impart this velocity, which then exists as velocity head. 

Calculation of Thermodynamic Properties We note that the translational contributions to the thermodynamic properties depend on the mass or molecular weight of the molecule, the rotational contributions on the moments of inertia, the vibrational contributions on the fundamental vibrational frequencies, and the electronic contributions on the energies and statistical weight factors for the electronic states. With the aid of this information, as summarized in Tables 10.1 to 10.3 for a number of molecules, and the thermodynamic relationships summarized in Table 10.4, we can calculate a... 

The factor [ I + c — < PilP )l-Y] is called the theoretical volumetric efficiency and is a measure of the effect of the clearance on an isentropic compression. The actual volumetric efficiency will be affected, in addition, by the inertia of the valves and leakage past the... 

The relative chemical inertia of the C-0 bond has already been emphasised. Structural factors can increase this reactivity significantly. This can lead to ruptures that can be dangerous in certain situations. In this case, the higher propensity of this bond to rupture makes the particular ether rather unstable. The following table gives the enthalpies of decomposition for a few ethers.
