The torch stays the same but how the spectrometer reads the emission data is changed. Axially is when the system looks down at the central channel of the plasma. Radially is when it looks at a slit or a slice of the plasme from the side. Most ICP read radially, but axially is used for more of a ppb range.

In axial ICP-OES, the plasma and observation are aligned along the same axis, allowing for excellent detection limits and high sensitivity for trace elements. In radial ICP-OES, the plasma and observation are perpendicular, providing better precision and dynamic range for high-concentration samples. Axial systems are more sensitive, while radial systems offer better performance for a wide range of concentrations.
Hey, the difference is quite clear! Radial is the distance between the two shaft axis and is quantified by measuring the radial distance between the centerline of one shaft if it were to be extended to overlap the other, but Axial misalignment is the variation in axial distance between the shafts of the driving and driven machinery. Good luck honey...
A thrust bearing is designed to handle axial loads (parallel to the shaft), while a radial bearing is designed to handle radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft). These bearings have different internal structures to accommodate their respective load types. Thrust bearings usually have a series of balls or rollers to support axial loads, whereas radial bearings have a raceway to support radial loads.
Axial flow LVADs have a propeller-like rotor that spins along the device's long axis to propel blood forward, while centrifugal flow LVADs use a rotating impeller to draw blood into the device and then expel it outward. Centrifugal flow LVADs are generally more compact and have fewer moving parts compared to axial flow LVADs.
Journal bearings support radial loads, providing support for rotating shafts. Thrust bearings, on the other hand, support axial loads and are designed to handle thrust forces along the axis of the shaft. Both types of bearings serve different purposes in machine components.
Axial force is a force that acts along the axis of an object, either in compression (pushing together) or tension (pulling apart). Shear force, on the other hand, is a force that acts parallel to a surface, causing one part of the object to slide past another. In essence, axial force affects the length of an object, while shear force affects the shape or position of the object.
