Power temperature variations

Snap-Fit and Press-FitJoints. Snap-fit joints offer the advantage that the strength of the joint does not diminish with time because of creep. Press-fit joints are simple and inexpensive, but lose hoi ding power. Creep and stress relaxation reduce the effective interference, as do temperature variations, particularly with materials with different thermal expansions. 

The instrument MIMOS 11 is extremely miniaturized compared to standard laboratory Mossbauer spectrometers and is optimized for low power consumption and high detection efficiency (see Sect. 3.3) and [326, 327, 336-339]. All components were selected to withstand high acceleration forces and shocks, temperature variations over the Martian diurnal cycle, and cosmic ray irradiation. Mossbauer measurements can be done during day and night covering the whole diurnal temperature...

The magnet temperature variation AT is approximately proportional to the power dissipated by the magnet and therefore to the square of the magnet current I. The variation of AS is a function of AT which reflects the changes in magnet geometry due to thermal dilatations. The net result is... 

Combustion processes are fast and exothermic reactions that proceed by free-radical chain reactions. Combustion processes release large amounts of energy, and they have many applications in the production of power and heat and in incineration. These processes combine many of the complexities of the previous chapters complex kinetics, mass transfer control, and large temperature variations. They also frequently involve multiple phases because the oxidant is usually air while fuels are frequently liquids or solids such as coal, wood, and oil drops. 

Assuming the possibility of large temperature variations, temperature-dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity may have an influence on the solution. Assume that the viscosity and conductivity of air can be expressed in power-law form as... 

Temperature variations in the instrument are a source of error and electrical power dissipation is limited to avoid the effects of self-heating. This is achieved by means of the four lead system shown in Fig 6.25ft. This minimises any effects of variations in temperature on the resistance RCL of the connections between the RTD and the bridge and is used normally with digital thermometers and data acquisition systems where the sensor non-linearity is corrected within the computer software. 

During cell/stack operation, water content in the membrane is affected by the local intensive variables, such as local temperature, water vapor concentration in the gas phase, gas temperature and velocity in the channel, and the properties of the electrode and gas diffusion media. The power fluctuation can result in temperature variation inside the cell/stack, which will subsequently change the local membrane water content. As the water content in the membrane tends to be non-uniform and unsteady, this results in operation stresses. When the membrane uptakes water from a dry state, it tends to expand as there is no space for it to extend in plane and it can wrinkle up as schematically shown in Fig. 4 when the membrane dries out, the wrinkled part may not flatten out, and this ratcheting effect can cause the pile up of wrinkles at regions where membrane can find space to fold. The operation stress is typically cyclic in nature due to startup-shutdown cycles, freeze-thaw cycles, and power output cycles. 

Apparently, a future direction for studies into climatic instability and related catastrophic events, like Hurricane Katrina (13 years after the most powerful in the history of Miami Hurricane Andrew) in late August 2005 did huge economic damage, completely flooding New Orleans and destroying many buildings, is a search for connections between temperature variations at different scales in different basins...

To be specific, the "apparent" activation energy of a reaction is the quantity Ea calculated with eqn 1.3 or 2.2 above from the temperature variation of the apparent rate coefficient in an empirical power-law rate equation that fits observation reasonably well. It is obtained without any assumptions as to a mechanism.
