Residual Heat Removal System The residual heat removal sy stem (RHRS) of the NHR 5 consists of two independent trains which assigned to two groups of primary heat e.xchangers. There are three natural circulation cycle for each train. Figure 4 show s the schematic s stem diagram of the RHRS. After reactor shut-down the decay heat will be transferred to the... 

Figme 3.2 shows a partial polarization diagram and related kinetic parameters. For instance, both Evans and Stem diagrams are superimposed in order for the reader to understand the significance of the electrochemical behavior of a polarized metal (M) electrode in a hydrogen-containing electrolyte. 

F(x a reversible electrode, Evans diagram allows the determination of the corrosion point where both the hydrogen cathodic and the metal anodic line intercept. On the other hand, the irreversible electrochemical behavior denoted by the cathodic and anodic Stem diagram is also used for determining the corrosion point by simply extrapolating the linear portions of both curves until the... 

This method involves the determination of the Tafel slopes 0 and Pc as weU as Ecorr and icom from a single polarization curve as shown in Figure 3.2. This curve is known as the Stem diagram (non-hnear polarization) based on eq. (3.22). The Evans diagram (linear polarization) is also included in order to show that both diagrams have a common Ecorr corr point. This figure illustrates a hypothetical electrochemical behavior of a metal M immersed in an electrolyte containing one type of oxidizer, such as ions. 

Both anodic and cathodic polarization curves exhibit small linear parts known as Tafel lines, which are used for determining the Tafel slopes and jSg. These slopes can be determined using either the Evans or Stem diagram. 

The advantage of the Stem diagram over the Evans diagram is that it can easily be obtained using the potentiodynamic polarization technique at a constant potential sweep (scan rate) and no prior knowledge of the above kinetics parameter is necessaiy for determining the Ecorr Wr point. The resultant curve is known as a potentiodynamic polarization curve. 

Both Evans and Stem diagrams are included in order to compare and analyze simple and uncomplicated electrochemical systems. The concept of anodic control and cathodic control polarization is also introduced. In addition, the predetermined corrosion circuit is included in order to analyze corrosion using an electrochemical device containing an external circuit. 

According to Shreir [12], a well-defined electrochemical cell containing an electrolyte of high conductivity dictates that Ohm s law for the external circuit and for the solution must give IRx 0 and 7R, 0. Thus, the ceU reversible open-circuit potential becomes E<> = o + Vc- This expression clearly shows that there is a mixed potential relationship, which implies that the measured potential is a mixed-potential in nature. This mixed potential is shown in Figure 3.2 as the Stem diagram or the polarization diagram. 

The reason for the success of Evans diagrams in corrosion is that they combine thermodynamic Victors ( values) with kinetics factors (i values). The usefulness of corrosion kinetics in the study of corrosion rates is, therefore, obvious. The exchange current densities have been included in the polarization diagram by Stem, and such diagrams are called Stem diagrams. Evans diagrams do not include exchange current densities.

Blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and a-methylstyrene—acrylonitrile copolymers (a-MSAN) exhibit a miscibiUty window that stems from an LCST-type phase diagram. Figure 3 shows how the phase-separation temperature of 50% PVC blends varies with the AN content of the copolymer (96). This behavior can be described by an appropriate equation-of-state theory and interaction energy of the form given by equation 9.
