  2. Shock tube detonator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube_detonator

    A shock tube detonator is a non-electric explosive fuze or initiator in the form of small-diameter hollow plastic tubing used to transport an initiating signal to an explosive by means of a shock wave (also known as a percussive wave) traveling the length of the tube. [1] Shock tube is used to convey a detonation signal to a detonator. Shock ...

    Heat transfer takes place by convection here, and the tubes are finned to increase heat transfer. The first three tube rows in the bottom of the convection section and at the top of the radiant section is an area of bare tubes (without fins) and are known as the shield section ("shock tubes"), so named because they are still exposed to plenty ...

  4. Shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube

    The shock that eventually forms increases the temperature and pressure of the test gas and induces a flow in the direction of the shock wave. Observations can be made in the flow behind the incident front or take advantage of the longer testing times and vastly enhanced pressures and temperatures behind the reflected wave.

  5. Plant (control theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_(control_theory)

    A plant in control theory is the combination of process and actuator. A plant is often referred to with a transfer function (commonly in the s-domain ) which indicates the relation between an input signal and the output signal of a system without feedback, commonly determined by physical properties of the system.

    The initial shock will causes the pangolin to adopt its defence of rolling into a ball, often resulting in it inadvertently wrapping itself around the electrified wire. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] An animal wrapped around the electric wire receives successive shocks, which in the case of pangolins results in them curling into an ever tighter ball around the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    The typical efficiency of TEGs is around 5–8%, although it can be higher. Older devices used bimetallic junctions and were bulky. More recent devices use highly doped semiconductors made from bismuth telluride (Bi 2 Te 3), lead telluride (PbTe), [10] calcium manganese oxide (Ca 2 Mn 3 O 8), [11] [12] or combinations thereof, [13] depending on application temperature.
