Sentence examples for surface of the fuel from inspiring English sources

Since the spring has repeated contact with the fuel rod, fretting wear occurs on the surface of the fuel rod.

The heat flux imposed on the surface of the fuel rods and the mass flux through the subchannels determines the coolant outlet temperatures.

The burner geometry influences the position of flame attachment on the outer surface of the fuel tube through the fuel tube heat capacity and the shape.

Thereby, it has been identified as a product formed under oxidation conditions at the surface of the fuel, and recently found as a corrosion product in the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant accident.

Furthermore, the surface smoothness of the back surface of the fuel film-air interface has importance, namely it may imitate a plane/curved mirror or a rough surface depending on the liquid settling over the rough surface, and especially the contact angle.

In case of diesel oil, due to its high contact angle, the surface of the fuel layer that settles on the roughened glass tends to assume similar shape as the surface undulations on the rough glass, and hence acts similar to the case of rough glass surface-air only, which yields the low S reading at 20 min.

In its report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford said the surfaces of the fuel line had been "mechanically scored during its manufacture" and when installed, the line could develop "a split that can result in a leak".

In case of LOF, decay heats of fuel elements are removed by natural heat transfer from surfaces of the fuel elements to the reactor water pool.

Doing so increases the surface area of the fuel, which leads to cleaner and more efficient burning.

If the surface temperature of the fuel elements exceeds the activation temperature of the Zr-O2 reaction, the core is damaged (partial or full meltdown).

Hence, it is essential to evaluate if the naturally developed cooling flow is sufficient to maintain the heated surface temperature of the fuel elements below the design limit.
