Sinking core model

As discussed in other chapters of this book and summarized in Chapter 16, the formation of tropospheric ozone from photochemical reactions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NC/) involves many reactions. Concentrations are therefore quite variable geographically, temporally, and altitudinally. Additional complications come from the fact that there are episodic injections of stratospheric 03 into the troposphere as well as a number of sinks for its removal. Because 03 decomposes thermally, particularly on surfaces, it is not preserved in ice cores. All of these factors make the development of a global climatology for 03 in a manner similar to that for N20 and CH4, for example, much more difficult. In addition, the complexity of the chemistry leading to O, formation from VOC and NOx is such that model-predicted ozone concentrations can vary from model to model (e.g., see Olson et al., 1997). 

Finally, they proposed a model to account for together with T h that only 1/30 of the chains carry one neutral soliton and that the nuclear magnetization flows to a cylindrical relaxation core due to a soliton diffusion, through the nuclear flip/flop diffusion. An interpretation of the above observations with this model is as follows. On H NMR T]]] it is reasonable that the non-deuterated sample (l)(98/0) shows /y/w dependence due to the soliton diffusion, but not for the fully deuterated samples (2)(90/98) and (3)(20/98) in which the flip/flop diffusion rate of H is slower than a sink rate of the relaxation cores. On C NMR a situation is more complicated. In the samples (l)(98/0) and (3)(20/98), the observed frequency independency... 

Figure 19. Models of Degussa P25 (a) conventional wisdom holds that rutile islands surround anatase particles and rutile is an electron sink (b) new picture involves a small rutile core surrounded by anatase crystallites, where electrons are shuttled from rutile to anatase.

In accordance with the requirement of Slovak Nuclear Regulatory Body in BNS 1.4.2 and general international requirements (SSG-3 and SSG-4), the PSA model shall be a comprehensive description of the NPP. In order to have useful information from PSA, a realistic model of the plant is necessary. To account for all relevant dependencies, all necessary support systems are included in the model such as HVAC, electrical supply and heat sink are included in the PSA model. The success criteria for front-end safety systems are derived based on detailed thermal hydraulic analysis specific for the plant and the fuel under analysis, both for core damage and for radiological releases. 

The source of the energy in the primary NCL is the fuel rods in the reactor core, the coupling mechanism between the two loops is the SG, and a second HEX is used in the secondary loop to deposit the energy into the heat sink. All of this equipment, and the associated single- and two-phase thermal-hydraulic phenomena and processes, must be accounted for in the mathematical models developed for the system. 

The significance of PSDRS in the KALIMER design is that it is the only heat removal system in the case of a total-loss-of-heat-sink accident. For this reason, its function is crucial to prevent core damage, so that performance analysis as well as realistic modeling of the system will be a key issue to provide essential knowledge for a safety evaluation of the KALIMER design. 

In order to describe the smoothing of stable isotope data from ice cores we introduce a coordinate system with a vertical z-axis and an origin that follows a horizontal layer from the surface as it sinks into the fim and ice matrix. The medium in the new coordinate system is assumed to have uniform vertical sfrain rate e (t) and a diffusion constant for each isotopic species D(t) that is dependent on die temperature and the fim density through the age parameter t. The age t is known as a function of depth from a deformation model valid for the particular coring site that mainly depends on the temperature and the acciunulation rate. The diffusion equation for the smoothing of an initial stable isotope profile 5 = 8(z,0) then becomes...
