Moving cores

His early works on adiabatic separation of valence electrons from fast moving core electrons in atoms attracted much attention a few years later, when the time came for the theory of pseudopotentials. These papers are still being referred to, more than forty years after their publication. 

SOLENOID VALVE - Electromagnet with a moving core. It serves as a valve or operates a valve. 

Ex-vessel transfer machine (EVTM). This rail-mounted transfer cask moves core component pots (CCPs) with fresh fuel and other core components from the EVST to the reactor vessel and moves CCPs with SNF and other core components from the reactor vessel to the EVST. The CCPs are small vessels used to transfer fuel and other components in a temperature-controlled sodium environment. The EVTM is also used for fresh fuel, SNF, and other transfer operations within the reactor service building and remains in the reactor service building during reactor operations. 

Parison thickness control was achieved by adjusting the die annulus using the moving core technique (see PST 6). At the commencement of parison formation the core diameter was 145 mm and the die 150 mm diameter giving a 2.5 mm wide annulus. Actual diameter of the parison was approximately 190 mm. 

While most CFB hydrodynamic studies have been carried out in risers of circular cross section, some have been conducted in risers of rectangular (e.g. Saberi et al., 1998) and square (e.g., Leckner et al., 1991 Zhou et al., 1994) cross section, geometries that are especially relevant to CFB combustors. Some work (e.g., Yerushalmi et al., 1978 Arena et al., 1992) has also been performed in thin ( two-dimensional ) risers. Phenomena in rectangular columns are qualitatively similar to those in risers of circular cross section, with the usual dilute upward moving core and dense downward flow in an outer annular region. 

When the plastic is flowing into the mould, the so-called fountain effect makes the plastic at the leading edge of the stream turn outwards and create a rapidly-setting surface layer. This layer has a double role it is both a slip layer and an insulation layer, protecting the increasingly slow-moving core from premature solidification. 

Moving cores can be selectively controlled using this technique so that they automatically open or close, depending on the position of the melt. This is for example used in automatic venting of cavities by only closing a moving core when the cavity is almost completely filled.

In order to illustrate some of the basic aspects of the nonlinear optical response of materials, we first discuss the anliannonic oscillator model. This treatment may be viewed as the extension of the classical Lorentz model of the response of an atom or molecule to include nonlinear effects. In such models, the medium is treated as a collection of electrons bound about ion cores. Under the influence of the electric field associated with an optical wave, the ion cores move in the direction of the applied field, while the electrons are displaced in the opposite direction. These motions induce an oscillating dipole moment, which then couples back to the radiation fields. Since the ions are significantly more massive than the electrons, their motion is of secondary importance for optical frequencies and is neglected. 

The cores of the spiral waves need not be stationary and can move in periodic, quasi-periodic or even chaotic flower trajectories [42, 43]. In addition, spatio-temporal chaos can arise if such spiral waves break up and the spiral wave fragments spawn pairs of new spirals [42, 44]. 

Similar to the case without consideration of the GP effect, the nuclear probability densities of Ai and A2 symmetries have threefold symmetry, while each component of E symmetry has twofold symmetry with respect to the line defined by (3 = 0. However, the nuclear probability density for the lowest E state has a higher symmetry, being cylindrical with an empty core. This is easyly understand since there is no potential barrier for pseudorotation in the upper sheet. Thus, the nuclear wave function can move freely all the way around the conical intersection. Note that the nuclear probability density vanishes at the conical intersection in the single-surface calculations as first noted by Mead [76] and generally proved by Varandas and Xu [77]. The nuclear probability density of the lowest state of Aj (A2) locates at regions where the lower sheet of the potential energy surface has A2 (Ai) symmetry in 5s. Note also that the Ai levels are raised up, and the A2 levels lowered down, while the order of the E levels has been altered by consideration of the GP effect. Such behavior is similar to that encountered for the trough states [11]. 

Basis sets can be constructed using an optimisation procedure in which the coefficients and the exponents are varied to give the lowest atomic energies. Some complications can arise when this approach is applied to larger basis sets. For example, in an atomic calculation the diffuse functions can move towards the nucleus, especially if the core region is described...

The stacks of veneer are moved to the panel lay-up area, where adhesive is appHed and veneers assembled into lay-ups ready to be pressed. Because core cross-veneers are only half-panel width, these stacks are cut into halves. 

After the block is chucked in the lathe, the lathe turns the block against the knife and peels the veneer in a continuous sheet as the knife moves toward the center of the block. When the knife cannot advance further without moving into the metal chucks, the lathe is stopped, the core of the block is dropped, the lathe is recharged, and the cycle repeated. 

Panels then move into a cooling device, normally a wheel or rack, where they are held individually and air is circulated between them to remove the majority of heat remaining in the boards after pressing. It is desirable to reduce the average board surface temperature to about 55°C. This temperature is sufficient to complete the cure of adhesive in the core of the board. The heat also helps to redistribute moisture uniformly within the boards, because the board surfaces are drier than the core when the boards come out of the press. Warm boards are normally stacked for several hours to a day to allow for resin cure and moisture equalization. 

The Model 412 PWR uses several control mechanisms. The first is the control cluster, consisting of a set of 25 hafnium metal rods coimected by a spider and inserted in the vacant spaces of 53 of the fuel assembhes (see Fig. 6). The clusters can be moved up and down, or released to shut down the reactor quickly. The rods are also used to (/) provide positive reactivity for the startup of the reactor from cold conditions, (2) make adjustments in power that fit the load demand on the system, (J) help shape the core power distribution to assure favorable fuel consumption and avoid hot spots on fuel cladding, and (4) compensate for the production and consumption of the strongly neutron-absorbing fission product xenon-135. Other PWRs use an alloy of cadmium, indium, and silver, all strong neutron absorbers, as control material.
