Liner Load cases

Propellants cast into rockets are commonly case-bonded to the motors to achieve maximum volumetric loading density. The interior of the motor is thoroughly cleaned, coated using an insulating material, and then lined with a composition to which the propellant binder adheres under the environmental stresses of the system. The insulation material is generally a mbber-type composition, filled with siUca, titanium dioxide, or potassium titanate. SiUca-filled nitrate mbber and vulcanizable ethylene—propylene mbber have been used. The liner generally consists of the same base polymer as is used in the propellant. It is usually appHed in a thin layer, and may be partially or fully cured before the propellant is poured into the rocket. 

At this point it is probable that in time even a more elastic liner will be damaged and allow water or whatever else the pipe is carrying to ooze or weep through the wall. As is the case with the yield point of steel pipe, reaching the weep point is not cataclysmic. The pipe can still continue to withstand quite a bit of additional load before it reaches the point of ultimate strain and failure. Recognize that a more substantial, stronger liner can easily extend the weep point. 

Sometimes thermal decomposition and reaction can be shown by variation of injection port temperature, and possibly column temperature. The only real solution is to operate at as low a temperature as possible and perhaps use "on-column injection. Low-loaded columns sometimes help. Use of glass columns and glass injection port liners often relieve the problem of unwanted thermal degradation and may help in some cases. However, in all cases the precision and accuracy of the quantitative analysis will be affected until a solution is found or until a decision is made to "live with it."... 

Thermal loads upon the process heat exchanger do not allow rapid temperature change rates. Therefore in case of the demand for a decay heat removal system after a fast shutdown of the reactor, an auxiliary cooling system should be used rather than the main cooling system. In addition, much of the decay heat would be removed via the core surfaces to the liner cooling system [10]. 

Opportunities for fiber development can best be discussed in the context of composite performance requirements. Most of the envisaged near- and intermediate-term applications (e.g., static hot-section engine components, such as combustor liners, turbine nozzles, and transition liners) require that components resist thermal loads. These applications, however, have minimal requirements for components to withstand pressure or other mechanical loads. In these cases, the failure strain of a composite is the salient measure of its damage tolerance. In other words, the composite s strain capacity is the metric that characterizes its ability to absorb damage caused by exogenous factors, such as overloads that occur in practice. 

Material trajectory in this design is similar to that for other indirect loading options, but not as steep as the base case option. The initial impact zone on the skip back wall is approximately 4.6 meters from the skip bottom and extends 2.3 meters upward prior to ore-on-ore impact. An additional 0.5 meters to this impact zone is added to account for rope stretch. To handle impact and wear in this region, the skip wall requires heavier liners than the remaining areas. 

Results of the ultimate load analysis are presented In table 1. It will be seen that for structure type 2, a 20% Increase In the area of bonded reinforcement at the haunches (now moved outside the planes of weaknesb zone) Is necesary to achieve the same load factor as structure 1. In each of the three cases listed In table 1 the ultimate lo ul Is determined by the longitudinal barrel crack width reaching the allowable limit at the Interface with the vessel liner. Further work was carried out to determine the ultimate load behaviour of the vessel with all the bonded reinforcement removed. It was found that to achieve the same factor an Increase In the quantity of prestressing steel of over 30% was required. Whilst this might ease the decommissioning problem It would be very expensive. The "gas In cracks" condition has not been considered. 

One last point. I would like to re-emphasize what Bertie ROBSON indicated in the case of a liner — a liquid lithium wall — where the wall loading can go up significantly over the 1-2 MW per m2. 

A worst-case estimation based on Model III with the gap heights in Table 7.8 appears reasonable only in liners with small overburden loads, i.e. less than 20 kPa, in addition to a calculation as per Eq. 7.45 of Model 11. Here, for simplicity, the approximate formula 7.63 can be used. 

Protection of geomembranes in landfrll liners provides an excellent example for this second task. A drainage layer is installed above the geomembrane, which in many cases consists of very coarse gravel. Waste deposition exerts a considerable dynamic load on the basal liner and the... 

When designing GFRP pipes, in some cases, the designers would also specify a corrosion barrier (liner) layer. The thickness of the layer would then be added to the pipe s wall thickness as established based on the above-mentioned design methods. In less hostile environments, however, the designer may choose to include the corrosion barrier (or some portion thereof) in the structural calculations. In some cases, the pipe wall thickness is further increased to accommodate other design requirements, such as additional stiffness required for special loading conditions (e.g., in the presence of vacuum in a pipe). 

For loss of coolant accident, it has been assumed that coolant is unavailable in the upper plenum, core and lower plenum of the reactor. Due to the absence of a heat removal medium, temperatures of the core will start increasing, leading to heating of all core components. The negative void reactivity coefficient will limit the power and thus, the temperature of the core components. The neutronically limited power would reach 200 kW(th). For this case, a system of 12 variable-conductance heat pipes, made of a carbon-carbon composite with a metallic liner, has been provided. These heat pipes penetrate the core. The condenser end of these heat pipes extends beyond the upper plenum and the interface vessels of heat-utilizing systems to the atmosphere. At the condenser end, these heat pipes have radiator fins to dissipate heat to the atmosphere. In case of a postulated accident due to loss of load or loss of coolant, core temperature will start increasing. As long as the temperature of the core is within... 

When designing components of pumps subject to torsion and bending loads, such as shaft sleeves and pump casings, it is important to appreciate that the harder the material, the narrower the limit on strain or elongation. A range of elongation of 0.5% to 1.5% is a minimum for bowls, mantle liners, pump-wetted parts, ball mill grates, and components... 

In any computer package involving 2- and 3D finite-element technique, Table AIB.l giving analytical formulation can be simulated to analyse the liner between the studs, standpipes and cooling pipes. For the global analysis of the pressure and containment vessels, these local effects can form the worst case. The vessel can be analysed with and without the contribution of the liner. Under ultimate conditions the liner local areas must be thoroughly assesed prior to the final decision of the factor safety above the elastic conditions under (pressure + prestress + temperature) the combined loading ...
