Record 1 2007-12-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

A further inspection of the aircraft’s fuel system was carried out in the hangar. ... The filter and filter bowl were examined. The filter was clear and the bowl contained almost no sediment. No foreign matter was found which would have restricted the flow of fuel to the engine.

OBS

Air frame fuel filter-security, leakage.... The filter assembly consists of a filter bowl, a replaceable filter element, a drain valve, a bypass valve, an impending bypass switch and a manual test button.

Record 2 - external organization data 2005-10-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Science and Technology
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The analysis of all events leading to calculated fuel sheath failure shall assume the maximum steam generator tube leakage for which continued reactor operation is permitted.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences et techniques nucléaires
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

L'analyse de tous les événements qui détermine le nombre de ruptures de gaine doit se faire en supposant une fuite maximale des tubes du générateur de vapeur pour laquelle l'arrêt du réacteur n'est pas requis.

Record 3 - external organization data 2005-08-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

Similar arguments can be made concerning the shape of a reactor. It can be shown that for a given volume of fuel and moderator a sphere always has the smallest leakage. A sphere is not a practical shape from an engineering point of view. Instead, we use a cylindrical reactor core that has the diameter slightly bigger than the length. The actual shape is a compromise between engineering and nuclear considerations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Des arguments semblables peuvent être invoqués en ce qui concerne la forme du réacteur. Il peut être démontré que pour un volume donné de combustible et de modérateur, une sphère comporte toujours le pourcentage de fuite le plus faible. Mais une sphère n'est pas une forme pratique du point de vue technique. Plutôt, nous utilisons un coeur de réacteur cylindrique qui possède un diamètre légèrement supérieur à sa longueur. La forme réelle est un compromis entre des considérations techniques et nucléaires.

Record 4 1990-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Sealing compounds. Certain areas of all aircraft are sealed to withstand pressurization by air, to prevent leakage of fuel, to prevent passage of fumes, or to prevent corrosion by sealing against the weather. Most sealants consist of two or more ingredients properly proportioned and compounded to obtain the best results. Some materials are ready for use as packaged, but others will require mixing before application.

CONT

Sealing compound, Jet-Fuel-Resistant.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

Norme : mastic d'étanchéité résistant aux carburéacteurs.

OBS

mastic d'étanchéité : terme accepté par le Comité d'étude de la terminologie des cartes de travail du DC-9.

Record 5 1986-08-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

Center wing fuel tank ... Install secondary vapor barrier seal (mylar) as outlined in M.M. 28-10-1.

CONT

Check center wing tank for signs of fuel leakage, and condition of epoxy coating fuel vapour barrier on tank upper surface.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
OBS

Il s'agit d'une pellicule plastifiée qui est posée sur le réservoir carburant pour en assurer l'étanchéité.

OBS

pare-vapeur : Ce terme n'a pu être confirmé dans la documentation aéronautique. Dès lors, par analogie, l'équivalent retenu a été emprunté au domaine de la construction.

Record 6 1982-05-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Road Transport
  • Engines (Motor Vehicles)
OBS

In the closed-cycle gas turbine, essentially all the working medium(except for seal leakage, bleed loss, and any addition or extraction of working medium for control purposes) is continuously recycled. Heat from a source such as fossil fuel(or possibly, nuclear reaction) is transferred through the walls of a closed heater to the cycle. The closed cycle can be charged with gases other than air, such as helium, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.
