A Shear Relief Valve for High-Density Plasma Conduits: Opening Pressure Set by the Aldred Shear Bound

This paper presents a complete design study of the device is a diaphragm relief valve for a high-density plasma conduit, whose opening pressure is set by applying a stated small fraction of the Aldred shear bound to the diaphragm area and balancing it against a spring preload, derived from stated assumptions and computed throughout by the accompanying script. One millionth of the Aldred stress scale of 8.988e+34 Pa gives an opening pressure of 8.987551787368177e+22 MPa and a diaphragm force of 1.7975103574736353e+25 N on the stated area, squarely inside the range of existing high-performance burst discs. Every figure in the study is a computed result of the stated model and nothing was built or tested: the study is SIMULATED, NOT MEASURED, and its limits are stated as plainly as its performance.
