Progressive-feed systems

Another type of progressive-feed system is a self-contained applicator gun (portable hot-melt gun). This system requires no insulted hose, because the adhesive is melted at the gun, from adhesive cartridges, pellets (slugs) or...

The trash feed system consists of a high-efficiency cyclone that is equipped with a vacuum feeder that discharges into a screw conveyor. As the waste moved progressively through the lower chamber due to the additional charges of trash, it is reduced to ash and discharged from the incinerator by the automatic ash removal cylinder. 

Since this text is not solely devoted to HRA, the above process is by necessity simplified. A more defined interaction is shown in Figure 4.5-2. Here HRA interacts with the development of the system models and feeds into not only the accident sequences but also the physical analysis of the inplant and explant accident progress,... 

Despite these difficulties, the multi-environment conditional PDF model is still useful for describing simple non-isothermal reacting systems (such as the one-step reaction discussed in Section 5.5) that cannot be easily treated with the unconditional model. For the non-isothermal, one-step reaction, the reaction-progress variable Y in the (unreacted) feed stream is null, and the system is essentially non-reactive unless an ignition source is provided. Letting Foo(f) (see (5.179), p. 183) denote the fully reacted conditional progress variable, we can define a two-environment model based on the E-model 159...
