Mode power distribution

In silica MMFs, a steady-state mode power distribution had been established in many previous studies because silica MMFs were expected to be used in long-haul networks. A steady-state mode power distribution was actually established in MMFs during real use [6]. However, MMFs, especially POFs,... 

In addition, the mode power distribution from even a short SI POF is uniform in the entire core region. Therefore, all the modes of the Gl POF are uniformly excited [8].

Based on the theories of geometric and wave optics, light propagates within optical fibers in the form of orthogonal modes. The light power distribution, in MM fibers, can be analyzed and characterized by using geometric and wave optics. In order to evaluate the MPD, within MM fibers, the wave equation, which is a second-order differential equation, has to be solved in cylindrical coordinate system. A summary of the MPD analysis is presented next, with an example on application to chemical and biosensors.

Equation (52) shows that the spatial distribution of the normal modes of oscillation of the system is different from the static power distribution. 

II. Definitions and general formalism. There probably exist as many notational systems in the field of reactor kinetics as there are authors. The following treatment (taken from [1]) has been found to be reasonably flexible.2 First we note that there is usually little need to characterize the reactor energy production by more than the total instantaneous power. In principle, a description in terms of neutron normal modes is required for completeness, but only the fundamental mode can be critical, and a description involving only the total power, the power distribution for the fundamental mode, and the effectiveness function for various perturbations will be essentially complete. ... 

Other manufacturers use predictive models, involving estimated failure rates and assumed failure modes and distributions. While a mathematical model of the failure rate may appear more rigorous, a number of assumptions are made during the analysis that may or may not be valid for a particular field application. The assessment may not include the full device boundary (e.g., the process connection, the sensor, power supplies) or all components necessary to make a device functional. Further, the mathematical models often ignore the impact of the process on the device. When calculating the SFF, the device failure rate in the intended application is used. 

In VFM systems the microwaves are swept over a range of frequencies. The range is determined by the average frequency and the cavity size. The power distribution becomes more uniform because of the superposition of individual microwave modes within a few milliseconds (Figure 2.4) [19,27]. 

The special logic for reactivity control, or control rod and/or absorber patterns, together with reactivity values for the control rods, should be stated where necessaiy in order to ensure that the specified limitations for permissible flux dilferences, power peaking factors and power distribution for various modes of normal operation are met. Proper control of flux distributions should ensure that the limiting fuel temperatures and heat flux and the initial conditions assumed in the accident analyses are not exceeded. If appropriate, proper calculational methods or measuring techniques should be provided to enable the reactor operator to confirm compliance. 

If the power distribution is reversed, and the supplier has dominance over the buyer(s), then the other circumstances of the previous paragraph are naturally also reversed the supplier can dictate prices and margins, whilst the buyer has to accept the conditions set by the supplier. The relationships can be managed in a more (collaborative) or less (arm s length) closely cooperating mode. 

Common mode on a wide area usually indicates possible loss of site infrastructures such as power distribution, communication, water cooling, lubrication, remote surveillance. Therefore common mode failure could greatly impact defence in depth, also through the possibility of implementation of the emergency plan.
