Classical thermocouples require shielded connections and are known to drift under high neutron fluence. As an alternative, we propose to take advantage of the multiplexing capabilities of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensors. Our experiments show that sensitivity to radiation depends on both the radiation field and the grating characteristics. For some FBGs installed in an aircooled graphite-moderated nuclear reactor the difference between the measurements and the readings of calibrated backup thermocouples was within the measurement uncertainty. In the worst case, the difference saturated after 30 h of reactor operation at about 5C. To reach megagray per hour level gamma-dose rates and 10 fluences, we irradiated multiplexed FBG sensors in a material testing nuclear reactor. At room temperature, FBG temperature sensors can survive in such radiation conditions, but at 90C a severe degradation is observed. We evidence the possibility to use FBG sensing technology for in-core monitoring of nuclear reactors with specific care under wellspecified conditions. 2002 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.59.1761Welcome to the new OED Online : Oxford English Dictionary

Is It Hot or Cold? Learning to Use a Thermometer (Math for the Real World: Upper Emergent) by Wes LipschultzRosen Publishing GroupIndoor/Outdoor Thermometer Ideal School SupplyShows indoor temperatures from -40° to 50°C/-30° to 125°F and outdoor temperatures from -50° to 55°C/-60° to 125°F at the same time. 2 1/4" x 8 3/4" (5.5 x 22cm). Psychrometric tables for obtaining the vapor pressure, relative humidity and temperature of the dew point: From readings of the wet- and dry-bulb thermometers by United States. Weather BureauUniversity of Michigan LibraryThe Female Thermometer: Eighteenth-Century Culture and the Invention of the Uncanny (Ideologies of Desire) by Terry CastleOxford University Press, USAThe work of leading scholar Terry Castle, called by the New York Times "always engaging...consistently fascinating," has helped to revolutionize eighteenth-century studies. The Female Thermometer brings together Castle's essays on the phantasmagoric side of eighteenth-century literature and culture. Taking as her emblem the fanciful "female thermometer," an imaginary instrument invented by eighteenth-century satirists to measure levels of female sexual arousal, Castle explores what she calls the "impinging strangeness" of the eighteenth-century imagination--the ways in which the rationalist imperatives of the age paradoxically worked to produce what Freud would later call the uncanny. In essays on doubling and fantasy in the novels of Defoe and Richardson, sexual impersonators and the dream-like world of the eighteenth-century masquerade, magic-lantern shows, automata, and other surreal inventions of Enlightenment science, and the hallucinatory obsessions of Gothic fiction, Castle offers a haunting portrait of a remarkable epoch. Her collection explores the links between material culture, gender, and the rise of modern forms and formulas of subjectivity, effectively rewriting the cultural history of modern Europe from a materialist and feminist perspective.

Oregon Scientific Grill Right Wireless Talking Bbq/oven Thermometer High Quality Oregon Scientific
No need to wait by the grill to find out when dinner is ready-this wireless thermometer verbally alerts you when the meat has reached the perfect temperature. Program your choice of eight entrees, choose the doneness desired and you're good to grill. Digital LCD screen with remote wireless probe to identify temperature/readiness of meat. Speaks in five languages with corresponding display (English, Spanish, German, French, Danish). Sensor has temperature range from 32 to 572 degrees F. Programmable entree programs include beef, lamb, veal, hamburger, pork, turkey, chicken, and fish. Four doneness selections include rare, medium rare, medium, and well done. Four verbal and audio alert options let you know the status of your meal-almost ready, ready, overcooked, and out-of-range. Audio alarm sounds when selected temperature is reached. Main unit will receive the probe signal from up to 330 feet away. |
