Abstract: Disclosed is a basket 50 that is located within a basket containment vessel, into which a boric acid solution capable of dissolving a pH adjuster flows, and can allow a pH adjuster solution to flow out by the inflowing boric acid solution. The basket 50 includes a plurality of containment units 71 stacked in a vertical direction with a predetermined first space L1 therebetween. The pH adjuster can be stored in each of the containment units 71. Also disclosed is a pH adjusting device including the basket 50, the basket containment vessel in which the basket 50 can be contained and in which cooling water can be stored, and an overflow pipe that, within the basket containment vessel, allows the pH adjuster solution that is obtained from the pH adjuster dissolved in the cooling water to flow out.

Abstract: A pressure bulkhead has a plurality of holes and divides a low-pressure chamber at low pressure in the vertical direction. A cooling-tube bank is located in an upper section of the low-pressure chamber and performs heat exchange with low-pressure steam guided to the low-pressure chamber by introducing coolant therein to condense the low-pressure steam to low-pressure steam condensate. A reheat chamber serves as a lower section of the low-pressure chamber and stores the low-pressure steam condensate falling from the holes in the pressure bulkhead. A high-pressure-steam introducing unit introduces high-pressure steam within a high-pressure chamber at high pressure to the reheat chamber. A plurality of plate members are parallel to each other below the pressure bulkhead and extend in a falling direction of the condensate falling from the holes in the pressure bulkhead.

Abstract: A moisture separator where a corrugated plate 43 is provided with a collecting plate 49 formed to cover a flat portion 74 and an upstream end of a slope portion disposed on a downstream side of the flat portion 74. The collecting plate 74 has an opening which opens to an upstream side in the direction of the wet steam flow S1. The collecting plate 49 is fixed to the slope portion at a base end. Between the collecting plate 49 and a body portion of the corrugated plate, a pocket section 47 and a drain duct section 48 are formed. The moisture contained in the wet steam S1 turns into droplets and enters the pocket section 47 and the drain duct section 48 from the opening of the collecting plate 49 and falls down the pocket section 47 and the drain duct section 48 respectively by gravity.

Abstract: In a multi-stage steam-water separation device and a steam-water separator, a first swirl vane (6) which causes a gas-liquid two-phase flow to rise while swirling is provided in a first riser (5) of a first steam-water separator (2), and a second swirl vane (12) which causes the gas-liquid two-phase flow which has passed through the first swirl vane (6) to rise while swirling at a speed higher than that provided by the first swirl vane (6), is provided in a second riser (11).

Abstract: In a moisture separator, a manifold that communicates with a steam inlet is disposed in a shell. A plurality of blowout outlets for steam is provided on a side of the manifold. A first support plate and a lower support frame are fixed to a lower part in the shell to compart a steam drift space and a drain path. A moisture separating element is provided corresponding to the manifold, and steam from which moisture is removed by the moisture separating element is heated by a group of heating tubes to flow as high-temperature reheat steam to the steam outlet. The moisture is led from the drain opening through the drain path to the drain outlet. A blocking plate blocks a part of the drain opening.

Abstract: A moisture separator heater includes a body, a manifold installed inside the body to supply moisture-containing steam to the interior thereof, slits formed on the manifold to allow a steam reserving portion positioned at the lower part of the body to eject steam, a separator for separating moisture from steam ejected from the slits, a steam collecting portion for collecting steam after separation of moisture by the separator, a heater for heating steam ascending inside the steam collecting portion, and a partition plate installed inside the steam collecting portion.

Abstract: A steam generator includes a tank having an inlet in a lower part for feeding a fluid, and an outlet in an upper part for discharging a vapor-liquid two phase flow. A heating unit heats the fluid in the tank thereby producing the vapor-liquid two phase flow. A porous cylindrical member projects from the outlet into an inside of the tank and functions as a rectifying unit that homogenizes vapor-liquid distribution in the vapor-liquid two phase flow before the vapor-liquid two phase flow is discharged from the outlet.

Abstract: A steady-state detonation combustor and a steady-state detonation wave generating method, in which a stabilized detonation wave can be generated by generating a hypersonic and unburned premixed gas. An rich premixed gas whose gas fuel is rich is combusted in a rich premixed gas combustion chamber (11) to generate a fist high-temperature and high-pressure burned gas, while at the same time, a lean premixed gas whose oxygen is rich is combusted in a lean premixed gas combustion chamber (12) to generate a second high-temperature and high-pressure burned gas, and subsequently, after each high-temperature and high-pressure burned gas is accelerated to hypersonic speed and at the same time mixed together through an interpenetrating nozzle (40), a premixed gas obtained by the mixture and containing the gas fuel and the oxygen which are unreacted is impinged on a steady-state detonation stabilizer (60), so that a stabilized detonation wave is generated.

Abstract: An annealing method for heating a sample by applying radiation of light beams thereto, arranged so that the radiant power of the light beams is sampled or monitored by a light detector (a light detector 12, for example, formed of a phototransistor, photodiode, and the like) and the radiant power of the light beams is controlled through a feedback with the data derived from the monitoring used as the feedback control signal so that the heating temperature of the sample is stabilized. The annealing can be performed with excellent reproducibility from sample to sample.
