Inventor: MORRIS ALLEN LEONARD
IPC: F04D29/40
Filed: 1991-09-30
Abstract: A nuclear reactor coolant pump (18) for pumping reactor coolant fluid in a reactor coolant system includes a casing (24), a rotor (32) and an impeller (46). The casing (24) defines an inlet nozzle (48) for receiving the fluid, a peripheral outlet nozzle (56) for discharging the fluid, and a passage (51) interconnecting the inlet and outlet nozzles through which the fluid can flow from the inlet to outlet nozzle. The rotor extends axially through the casing and has an end disposed adjacent passage. The impeller is mounted to the end of the rotor and disposed in communication with the passage and offset axially from the outlet nozzle of the casing. The impeller is rotatable with the rotor for drawing fluid into the casing through the inlet nozzle and discharging fluid from the casing tangentially through the peripheral outlet nozzle after flow through the passage. The outlet nozzle is composed of first and second wall portions (58,60) defined above and below a plane (C) extending generally parallel to the rotation axis (D) of the impeller. The first wall portion (58) has a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, whereas the second wall portion (60) has a combined substantially semi-elliptical and semi-conical shape.

Abstract: A fluorescence measurement apparatus automatically sets a full scale of a recorder (7) in recording a spectrum curve of fluorescence measurement obtained when a sample (3) is irradiated by excitation light produced from a light source (1) by an excitation monochromator (2). To this end, a controller (8) causes the fluorescence measurement apparatus to operate as follows: (a) peaks of the spectrum curve are detected; (b) the maximum value of the peaks, disregarding peaks due to a cause or causes other than the fluorescent light of the sample, is detected; and (c) the full scale of the recorder (7) is set using the detected maximum value. The automatic full scale setting operation can be carried out in both an excitation spectrum measurement mode and an emission spectrum measurement mode.
