    摘要: The reactivity of a neutron chain reaction in a nuclear reactor is automatically reduced upon failure of the coolant flow by a system in which nuclear-fuel particles are suspended against gravitational forces by forces of the coolant flow and are in the reactive zone when so suspended. Upon failure of the coolant flow, the particles settle into a space outside the reactive zone and thus do not contribute to the neutron chain reaction and reactivity is reduced.

    摘要: High temperature reactor with residual-heat transfer system comprises a cooling gas intake at the bottom and cooling gas outlet at the top so that a cooling gas can flow from the bottom to the top through the reactor core. In order to assure reliable heat transfer a bypass duct is provided with a lower end communicating with the cooling gas intake and the upper end communicating with the cooling gas outlet. The bypass duct is arranged parallel to the reactor core and passing a partial flow of cooling gas from the bottom to the top. This partial flow of cooling gas heats up only trivially. This partial flow of cooling gas is further cooled by the cooler. The upward flow of the comparatively cold cooling gas in the bypass duct stops and by itself reverses because the cooling gas in the bypass duct is drawn toward the reactor core on account of the natural convection. This natural convection is maintained itself automatically in the reactor core with the required downflow inspite of the raised temperature of the cooling gas.

    摘要: What follows is a description of a unique arrangement forming safety equipment for installations containing a medium under pressure. The safety equipment includes a wall of the installation whose thickness is reduced in a predetermined region relative to the remaining region of the wall and an element disposed within the installation which extends over and beyond the reduced thickness region of the installation wall. The element is provided with bulges at its ends which define along with the inner surface of the installation wall a reduced flow cross section. This reduced flow cross section is chosen so that the pressure prevailing during normal operation in the space defined by the inner surface of the installation wall and that portion of the element between the bulges is the same as the pressure prevailing in the installation.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for convertion of steam and hydrocarbon, or steam and coal, into a product gas which contains hydrogen. The conversion rate is augmented by effective extraction and removal of hydrogen as and when hydrogen is generated. Within a reaction vessel wherein the conversion takes place, a chamber for collection of hydrogen is formed by the provision of a hydrogen-permeable membrane. The chamber is provided with a hydrogen extraction means and houses a support structure, for example, in the form of a mesh providing structural support to the membrane. The membrane may be of a pleated or corrugated construction, so as to provide an enlarged surface for the membrane to facilitate hydrogen extraction. Also, to further facilitate hydrogen extraction, a hydrogen partial pressure differential is maintained across the membrane, such as, for example, by the counter pressure of an inert gas. A preferred configuration for the apparatus of the invention is a tubular construction which houses generally tubular hydrogen extraction chambers.

    摘要: A method of generating oxygen and hydrogen from water in which an acidic electrolyte containing formaldehyde is electrolyzed and produces oxygen and a gas which contains a low molecular-weight hydrocarbon. The low molecular-weight hydrocarbon is subjected to a catalytic conversion with water to produce synthesis gas consisting predominantly of hydrogen and carbon monoxide which are reacted to yield methanol. The methanol, in turn, is reacted to produce formaldehyde which is introduced into the electrolysis itself and hydrogen which is recovered.

    摘要: A method of recovering hydrogen and oxygen from water. Water and sulfur dide are supplied to, and hydrogen and sulfuric acid are removed from, a galvanic or electrolytic cell. Hydrogen ions are electrochemically liberated by anodic oxidation of the supplied sulfur dioxide accompanied by decomposition of the water and formation of sulfuric acid in the anolyte, and hydrogen gas is electrolytically generated at the cathode from the hydrogen ions. To evaporate water, electrolytic solution is removed from the anode chamber of the galvanic cell. The anode chamber is separated from the cathode chamber by means of a membrane. After the ensuing evaporation, the thus formed anhydride of the sulfuric acid is decomposed by being heated, and is accompanied by the formation of oxygen and sulfur dioxide gas. The sulfur dioxide is oxidized at a carbon and/or graphite anode in the presence of very small quantities, e.g. a minimum of 0.005% by weight, of hydriodic acid in the anolyte. The hydriodic acid which is found in that portion of the electrolyte which is removed from the anode chamber is evaporated together with the water. The evaporated water, together with the evaporated hydriodic acid, are again supplied to the anode chamber.
