Main Components Characteristics

The mam design principle and characteristics of each Super LWR NPP component is presented in this section. Attention is focused on the design characteristics of the pressure containment and RPV which are fundamentally different from existing FPPs and LWRs. As for the supercritical turbine, the feedwater heaters and the feedwater pumps, the design principle is similar to that of FPPs. Their fabrication technologies are mature with full of operating experience.

The main component characteristics resulting from the sizing algorithm are described in Table 3. 

Limonene (+15) is an important raw material for producing (-)-carvone [6485-40-1]. The process uses nitrosyl chloride and proceeds via nitrosochloride and oxime (78,79). The (-)-carvone (40) is found as the main component of spearmint oil and the (+)-carvone produced from (—)-limonene has the characteristic odor of diU. 

Despite the fact that the two main components of UF-resins are urea and formaldehyde, a broad variety of possible reactions and structures in the resins can be obtained. At the molecular level, the basic characteristics of UF-resins can be explained as follows (1) high reactivity (2) water solubility and dispersibility, which renders the resins ideal for use in the woodworking industry and (3) the reversibility of the aminomethylene link, which also explains the low resistance of the UF-resins against the influence of water and moisture, especially at higher temperatures. This is also one of the reasons for the subsequent formaldehyde emission. 

The first elastomeric protein is elastin, this structural protein is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix, which provides stmctural integrity to the tissues and organs of the body. This highly crosslinked and therefore insoluble protein is the essential element of elastic fibers, which induce elasticity to tissue of lung, skin, and arteries. In these fibers, elastin forms the internal core, which is interspersed with microfibrils [1,2]. Not only this biopolymer but also its precursor material, tropoelastin, have inspired materials scientists for many years. The most interesting characteristic of the precursor is its ability to self-assemble under physiological conditions, thereby demonstrating a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. This specific property has led to the development of a new class of synthetic polypeptides that mimic elastin in its composition and are therefore also known as elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs). 

Characteristics of fraction I. The carbohydrate content of Fraction I was 84.4 %, in which the main component is D-galacturonic acid (71 %). Consequently, the polysaccharide is of a pectic type. The neutral sugars accounted for 13.4 % and according to their qualitative composition (Table 2) they correspond to the composition of pectin, isolated from sunflower heads (18). It is worth noting the high content of L-arabinose and D-galactose, compared with the other monosaccharides. The protein content was 7.8 %. 

Raman spectroscopy allows chemical identification of single phases and in the imaging mode a description of the morphology. Raman bands characteristic of the two main components PA and PTFE are easily distinguishable, as shown in Figure 6, where pure materials have been used from which to record reference spectra. To identify PTFE in the spectra of the bearing the symmetric C-F... 

Hematein and hematoxylin are known as the main components of logwood, but other characteristic colourants are also present in its preparations, e.g. tannins and... 

Humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) are the main components of humic substances (HS), which are the most chemically and biochemically active and widely spread fractions of nonliving natural organic matter in all terrestrial and aquatic environments. They comprise a chemically and physically heterogeneous group of substances with colloidal, polydis-persed, polyelectrolyte characteristics and mixed aliphatic and aromatic nature (Senesi and Loffredo 1999). 

Pea starch granules are oval, sometimes fissured, with a diameter of 20-40 ym (13). Molecular and structural characteristics of the two main components of field pea starch—amylose and amylopectin—are important in determining functional properties (25,26). Smooth field pea starch concentrate contains 97.2% starch of which 30.3-37.8% is amylose (9,23,25-27), and wrinkled pea starch concentrate contains 94.8% starch, which is 64% amylose (26). The gelatinization temperature of smooth pea starch is between 64 to 69 C, and that of wrinkled pea starch is greater than 99 C to 115 C. Gelatinization temperature depends on maturity of field pea seed and amylose content (26,27).
