CASCADE WATER [10 records]

Record 1 2018-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aquaculture
  • Animal Reproduction
DEF

A cascade arrangement of trays placed beside a stream which supplies water by gravity feed for the incubation of eggs and yolk fry.

CONT

The average number of eggs in the streamside incubators was 7,200 eggs per incubator. If streamside incubation were to be used as an alternate incubation strategy for a watershed or large river, a greater number of eggs would be needed per incubator. If the entire incubator was used it could potentially incubate 100,000 eggs. It would be beneficial to investigate the potential of streamside incubators to incubate greater numbers of eggs.

DEF

Auge équipée de plateaux que l'on place près d'un ruisseau d'où provient une alimentation d'eau par gravité pour l'incubation des œufs et des alevins vésiculés.

Record 3 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
OBS

With overall downstream control, a general instrument detects the level in the filtered water storage tank and adjusts the individual set flow of each filter accordingly.... Figure 145 shows this type of cascade regulation with downstream control.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
OBS

En régulation d'ensemble par l'aval; un organe général détecte le niveau dans le réservoir d'eau filtrée et ajuste en conséquence le débit de consigne individuel de chaque filtre. [...] La figure 145 représente ce type de régulation qui s'effectue en cascade vers l'amont.

Record 4 2012-04-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Geomorphology and Geomorphogeny
DEF

A flow of water descending steeply over a cliff.

CONT

A waterfall is a phenomenon which occurs when water flowing in a river channel encounters a vertical or near-vertical drop in the channel bed. A cascade occurs when the drop results in a series of small falls; rapids occur where the river is steep and turbulent and the water remains in contact with the bed; and a cataract when a waterfall has a large volume of flow.

CONT

Waterfalls can be classified according to nature of origin.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Géomorphologie et géomorphogénie
DEF

Chute verticale ou descente à très forte pente d'un cours d'eau.

CONT

Les chutes d'eau se forment aux endroits où le lit d'un cours d'eau est coupé par une pente verticale ou presque. La chute devient cascade quand l'eau suit une série de petits paliers, des rapides se forment quand le cours d'eau agité suit une forte pente, mais reste dans son lit et une cataracte est une chute à grand débit d'eau.

CONT

On peut classer les chutes selon leur origine.

DEF

Salto vertical o descenso con gran pendiente de una corriente de agua.

Record 7 1985-08-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Energy Transformation
  • Effects of Heat (Energy Transfer)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
OBS

Ideally, the maximum power would be extracted from the hot water phase in a wet field by using an infinite number of flash vessels connected in cascade(multiflash) or at any rate by using one flash vessel for every turbine stage; but such a procedure would be an economic absurdity. It can, however, sometimes pay to provide two flash vessels.

Record 8 1982-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Storage of Water
  • Water Treatment (Water Supply)
CONT

The level in the tank acts directly on the setting of the filters, whose upstream level is then variable; the flow of raw water is regulated by the variation of this level. This forms a cascade regulating system in with the clarifiers normally have a continuously changing flow...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
  • Stockage des eaux
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Le niveau dans la citerne agit directement sur la régulation des filtres dont le niveau amont est alors variable; le débit d'eau brute est réglé en fonction de la variation de ce niveau. C'est une régulation en cascade où d'ordinaire les décanteurs ont un débit continuellement changeant.
