The volume of liquid required varies between recipes, but a ratio of 1 part liquid to 3 parts flour is common for yeast breads, while recipes that use steam as the primary leavening method may have a liquid content in excess of one part liquid to one part flour by volume.

There is a backup pressure release mechanism that releases pressure quickly if the primary pressure release mechanism fails ( e. g., food jams the steam discharge path ).

The containment vessel — which housed both the primary ( nuclear reactor ) and secondary ( steam plant ) systems — is referred to as the " DIG-ball " due to its unique shape: a Horton Sphere.

Within eight seconds, control rods were inserted into the core to halt the nuclear chain reaction but the reactor continued to generate decay heat and, because steam was no longer being used by the turbine, heat was no longer being removed from the reactor's primary water loop.

After almost 80 minutes of slow temperature rise, the primary loop's four main pumps began to cavitate as a steam bubble / water mixture, rather than water, passed through them.

The hot primary coolant is pumped into a heat exchanger called the steam generator, where it flows through hundreds or thousands of tubes ( usually in diameter ).

Two things are characteristic for the pressurized water reactor ( PWR ) when compared with other reactor types: coolant loop separation from the steam system and pressure inside the primary coolant loop.

After picking up heat as it passes through the reactor core, the primary coolant transfers heat in a steam generator to water in a lower pressure secondary circuit, evaporating the secondary coolant to saturated steam — in most designs 6. 2 MPa ( 60 atm, 900 psia ), 275 ° C ( 530 ° F ) — for use in the steam turbine.

However, if the gas from the primary coolant can be made radioactive by the neutrons in the reactor, or a fuel defect could still contaminate the power production equipment, it may be brought instead to a heat exchanger where it heats another gas or produces steam.

A steamboat or steamship, sometimes called a steamer, is a ship in which the primary method of propulsion is steam power, typically driving propellers or paddlewheels.

It had to be designed with the reactor vessel situated low in the boat and the steam generators high in order for natural circulation of the primary coolant to be developed and maintained.

The Kylchap exhaust consists of four stacked nozzles, the first exhaust nozzle ( UK: blastpipe ) blowing exhaust steam only and known as the primary nozzle, this being a Chapelon design using four triangular jets.

The College's primary ship, Empire State VI, is a 565 foot ( 172. 2 m ) vessel driven by a 17, 160 horsepower ( 13 MW ) steam turbine engine.

The primary disadvantage of multiple stage combined cycle power plants is that the number of steam turbines, condensers and condensate systems-and perhaps the number of cooling towers and circulating water systems-increases to match the number of gas turbines.

The primary regions of interest for cogeneration combined-cycle systems are those with unfired and supplementary fired steam cycles.

* Dreadnought: A type of battleship designed with steam turbine propulsion and an " all-big-gun " armament layout in which the ships primary gun power resided in a primary battery of its largest guns intended for use at long range, with other gun armament limited to small weapons intended for close-range defense against torpedo boats and other small warships.

They were rendered obsolete by the revolutionary dreadnought battleships which began to appear in 1906 and which differed from predreadnoughts in having steam turbine propulsion and an " all-big-gun " armament layout in which the ships primary gun power resided in a primary battery of its largest guns intended for use at long range, with other gun armament limited to small weapons intended for defense against torpedo boats and other small warships.

These systems, which made use of the steam locomotive, were the first practical form of mechanized land transport, and they remained the primary form of mechanized land transport for the next 100 years.

The inquiry into the accident found that the primary cause of the crash was " the very unsatisfactory condition of the permanent way ", being the poor fastening of the track, causing the track to spread and allowing the left front wheel of the locomotive to come off the rail.

Although the DVT has braking capability of its own, this is incidental, as the vehicle's primary purpose is to allow the train to be driven from the opposite end of the train from the locomotive, as well as to provide accommodation for bulky luggage.

The primary Tver ' Railway Station has a locomotive and car shed, allowing it to service both passenger and cargo trains.

The primary passenger motive power for the LVRR in the diesel era was the ALCO PA-1 car body diesel-electric locomotive, of which the LVRR had fourteen.

This converted locomotive was upgraded to utilize a computer controlled fuel injection system in May 2008, and is now the Napa Valley Wine Train's primary locomotive.

On Chicago ’ s south side GTW ’ s Elsdon Yard served as its primary yard and locomotive facility there since the railroad laid tracks into the city in the 1880s.

Efficiency was one of Chapelon's primary concerns in design ; some of his locomotives exceeded 12 % efficiency, which for a steam locomotive was exceptional.

Besides horsepower, the primary characteristic of a passenger locomotive at the time was the ability to provide steam to the passenger cars, for heating, cooking, and sometimes cooling.

After the abolition of LMS with the creation of British Railways in 1948, the works remained the primary Scottish repair centre until 1986 when, under BREL, locomotive work in general was being run down.

The primary reason for the abandonment of the `` shore occupied by '' thesis has been the assimilation and accumulation of archaeological evidence, the most striking feature of early English studies in this century.

If the Department of State is to take primary responsibility for foreign policy in Washington, it follows that the ambassador is expected to take charge overseas.

In 1960 one-quarter of the 92.5 million recreation visits to the National Forests and Grasslands were for the primary purpose of hunting and fishing.

For this reason, the more uncertain skywave service was denominated `` secondary '' in our rules, as compared to the steadier, more reliable groundwave `` primary service '', and, for both skywave service and skywave interference, signal strength is expressed in terms of percentage of time a particular signal-intensity level is exceeded -- 50 percent of the time for skywave service, 10 percent of the time for skywave interference.

Here the reasonable mastery of the elements of administration can do much to free a president for his primary role.

In the primary decomposition theorem, it is not necessary that the vector space V be finite dimensional, nor is it necessary for parts ( A ) and ( B ) that P be the minimal polynomial for T.

Though there is obviously great need for continued experimentation with various types of short-term intervention to further efforts in developing an operational definition of prevention at the secondary -- or perhaps, in some instances, primary -- level, the place of short-term intervention has already been documented by a number of investigators in a wide variety of settings.

As stated in Seaboard and numerous other cases, the two primary reasons for the enactment of section 203 of the United States Code were to prevent the Government from having to deal with more than one claimant and to prevent the assignment of meretricious claims on a contingent-fee basis.

Kant is not generally considered to be a modern anthropologist, however, as he never left his region of Germany nor did he study any cultures besides his own, and in fact, describes the need for anthropology as a corollary field to his own primary field of philosophy.
