If acceptable values for any of these parameters are exceeded, the pulse will be terminated. A fully digital implementation of the algorithms is being designed using a high performance Digital Signal Processor (DSP). A programme has been written for convenient off-line calculation and checks of model parameters with JET data.","PeriodicalId":387034,"journal":{"name":"15th IEEE/NPSS Symposium on Fusion Engineering - Supplement,","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130755942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of wetting agents with low atomic number were tried, the best being silicon, either in metallic form or as polydimethylsiloxane. The second composite has a three dimensional structure, again with Be as the matrix but with random Be/sub 2/C fibres, produced by hot pressing a mixture of Be powder with 0.25 inch Be/sub 2/C fibres; no wetting agent was used. Some fibre agglomeration was observed with resulting porosity and the component had a density of 93% of theoretical. The room temperature thermal conductivity of the second composite was 84W/mk, slightly less than would be expected by a rule of mixtures, possibly due to the porosity.","PeriodicalId":387034,"journal":{"name":"15th IEEE/NPSS Symposium on Fusion Engineering - Supplement,","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133827929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
