Introduction Uranium enrichment is a complex process that involves separating uranium-235 from the more common isotope uranium-238. It's done in order to produce fuel for nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons and other uses. Uranium-235 can sustain a nuclear chain reaction that produces large amounts of energy without being used up like traditional fuels do. In […]
Introduction Control engineering is a sub-division of electrical engineering. It involves the study of how to control the behavior of physical systems. Control engineers use feedback control and an engineering process to understand how systems work and how they can be used for different applications. The main fields for control engineers are process control, autopilots […]
Introduction In the early days of nuclear power, uranium was enriched to make it safer and more efficient for use in reactors. Enrichment can be done with gas centrifuges or by laser. After enrichment, the uranium is about 20% pure and is called highly enriched uranium (HEU). A pound of HEU can make as many […]
Introduction The term multistage refers to a centrifugal pump that has more than one impeller. A multistage pump is used when it is necessary or desirable to increase the pressure while maintaining or even increasing flow. The word multistage is applied to the centrifugal pump when it is designed to have more than one impeller. […]
Introduction The United States has approximately 3,000 uranium centrifuges at its Paducah plant in Kentucky. These uranium centrifuges are used to enrich uranium for both nuclear weapons and power reactors. However, the U.S. government has decided to move these centrifuges to a new location because they can also be used to make nuclear weapons or […]
Introduction Density gradient centrifugation is a technique used for fractionating particles based on their density. It uses the principle of differential centrifugal sedimentation, which involves applying increasing acceleration to a sample at various stages such that the rate at which particles settle down increases with acceleration applied. This way, the sample can be divided into […]
Introduction Centrifuges are used in many different types of laboratories to separate biological materials. Centrifuges are used to force dense components of a mixture to the bottom of a tube or other container as they spin at high rates of speed. A centrifuge is a machine that spins at high speeds to force dense components […]

There are several types of filling machines for thick lotion. They can be used to run automated or semi-automatic production. It is essential to analyze the specific needs of your product before you choose the right machine. This article will give you some tips on how to choose the best machine for your company. Here […]
The ELISA test identifies the presence of a protein in a sample by detecting the presence of antibodies. A 96-well microtitre plate is used to conduct the test. The wells are made from polystyrene, which adsorbs various antigens and antibodies. Polystyrene has a lot of surface area and can be modified with reactive functional groups […]
