69 уменьшаться
Уменьшаться - to decrease, to drop, to fall, to fall off, to lessen, to decline, to relax, to decay; to be decreased, to be reduced, to be diminishedWe see that as firing rate is reduced, M, which is the mass of the combustion gases, decreases linearly.Then the pressure begins to drop as the flow redevelops and continues to drop due to friction in the fully developed regime.As energy is dissipated locally, the temperature rises, the local moduli fall, and the specimen stiffness and damping are reduced.In either case both the tube load and bending stress fall off fairly rapidly away from the outer edge of the tubesheet.We observed in the blunt notched-specimen simulations that the plastic-strain field lessens 63 percent over a distance that is comparable to the 0.25-mm notch-root radius.The effectiveness is shown to decline with increasing cant angle.Following the air flow disturbance, both model results and test data show an initial overshoot (перерегулирование) in steam pressure which then relaxes to a lower value.On the latter bar, the extent of surface damage is significantly reduced due to the inhibiting of the surface/environment interaction by the relatively inert environment.Уменьшаться на-- The first critical speed and the onset speed of instability drop by approximately 7 and 6 percent, respectively.Русско-английский научно-технический словарь переводчика > уменьшаться
