Sentences with phrase «critical heat flux»

The Critical Heat Flux tells how much heat is lost per square metre when the inside of the window is kept just warm enough to avoid condensation.

These capabilities include critical heat flux testing, steam generator flow - induced vibration testing, and control rod assembly drop alignment testing, among others.

Not exact matches

As this decadally varying degree of heat flux from the wbc and extension region appears to play a critical role in connecting regional processes via its influence on the jet, etc, this may be one avenue through which CO2 does have potential to affect the variability pattern of the wave.

Sea ice with its strong seasonal and interannual variability (Fig. 1) is a very critical component of the Arctic system that responds sensitively to changes in atmospheric circulation, incoming radiation, atmospheric and oceanic heat fluxes, as well as the hydrological cycle1, 2.

It is then critical to consider whether the observed and expected dramatic declines in Arctic sea ice are causing fundamental changes in sensible heat and evaporation fluxes and influencing the magnitude and form of Arctic amplification.

The transfer of sensible heat and evaporation fluxes are particularly critical because they feed back on the atmospheric circulation, clouds, sea ice, temperature, and humidity.
