Default valve question

One thing I've not heard in any of the press conferences on this is what is
the pressure and temperature of the hydrogen in this valve. I just wondered
if the effect of temperature cycling coupled with the flow might have an
effect on the life of the lip in question, and of course the turbulence of
the flow obviously has. One might assume that if flow was made a little
more chaotic at the point it would reduce the resonance effects to some
degree.

Good morning or good evening depending upon your location. I want to ask you the most important question of your life. Your joy or sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good OM History 0 April 22nd 05 08:37 AM
