Another commonly-quoted statistic for core size is the mode field diameter.
However, increasing the core size would also increase its top temperatures.
So for safety's sake, designers limit the core size and reactor output to about 140 megawatts.
An increase in either the core size or shell length results in longer emission wavelengths.
In the United States, the most common core size found on lamination film is one inch (25- to 27-inch-wide film).
It has been reported that Nehalem has a focus on performance, thus the increased core size.
The core size consumes a significant amount of the space on the lower and middle floors.
T-stages are used to increase overall pressure ratio and, for a given core size, the core mass flow.
The core size of POF is in some cases 100 times larger than glass fiber.
The compact reactor core reduces core size by half for the same power output over the older design.
