6.2.1.2 Mollier diagram (ln p, h) of a simple cycle –Axis of pressures Whatever the fluid employed, a logarithmic scale is used in this diagram for pressure (ordinate axis). For leak detection reasons, this is most often chosen above atmospheric pressure at any point of the machine. The...
The sensor can measure DC accelerations, which can be done easily by pointing the axis of interest towards the center of the Earth, noting the output value, rotating the sensor by 180 degrees (pointing to the sky), and noting the output value again. By doing so, ±1 g acceleration is ...
In subject area:Earth and Planetary Sciences Venn diagrams are graphs that represent the logical relationships between different sets of elements, often used in various disciplines including mathematics, ecology, and risk analysis. They help conceptualize groups of elements with common properties and their...
Water in nanoscale cavities is ubiquitous and of central importance to everyday phenomena in geology and biology. However, the properties of nanoscale water can be substantially different from those of bulk water, as shown, for example, by the anoma
This bit must be set to 0 for the correct operation of the device. Table 32. INT_CTRL_REG register description Enables the interrupt detection for the X-axis. Default value: 1 XIEN (1: enabled; 0: disabled) Enables the interrupt detection for the Y-axis. Default value: 1 YIEN (1: ...
mixture is pumped to a settling (hot wort) tank, then cooled and sent to storage (cold wort tank). The wort from storage is filtered through diatomaceous earth and passed to the fermentation tank. Yeast is added to the fermentation tank, in which a temperature of 61-70°F is maintained....
Crystal structure of LaMn2(Ge1-xSix)2: La (green), Mn (dark blue), Si/Ge (turquoise). Full size image The subgroup of manganese silicides and germanides,REMn2X2(RE = rare-earth metal,X = Si, Ge) has gained particular attention for their interesting physical properties. Gia...
The magnetic phases of the heavy rare-earth metal thulium below the Néel temperature of 56 K have been examined in magnetic fields up to 7 T. The thermal expansion and magnetostriction of a Tm single crystal were studied along the c-axis, using a capacitance dilatometer. A number of new ...
Such experiments indicate that rocks exhibiting very little plastic deformation near the surface of the Earth may be more plastic under high confining pressure. Thus, under a confining pressure of 1000 kg/cm2 or greater, limestone will deform plastically. Figure 9.15 illustrates the effect of ...
