GAS FILL [9 records]

Record 1 2018-04-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Petrography
CONT

Petrophysics is the study of the physical properties and the rock and fluid interaction in petroleum systems. A petrophysicist in the oil and gas industry helps fill in some of the details after geologists and geophysicists have found a reservoir target. Specifically, they create a clear picture of the reservoir's rock formation, fluid content, permeability and porosity.

Subject field(s)

CONT

A Geiger-Mueller(GM) tube is a gas-filled radiation detector. It commonly takes the form of a cylindrical outer shell(cathode) and the sealed gas-filled space with a thin central wire(the anode) held at [approximately] 1 kV [kilovolt] positive voltage with respect to the cathode. The fill gas is generally argon at a pressure of less than 0. 1 atm [atmosphere] plus a small quantity of a quenching vapor …

CONT

[Détection et mesures des rayonnements nucléaires.] Gaz de remplissage : son choix est important puisque le développement de l’avalanche dépend largement de la dérive des électrons primaires. Toute trace d’oxygène doit être proscrite et on utilise le plus souvent un gaz rare (comme Ar [argon] ou Kr [krypton] ou Xe [xénon]) pour augmenter l’efficacité s’il s’agit de détecter des photons. Pour la détection des neutrons, on utilise d’autres gaz moins classiques. Ce gaz est souvent enfermé dans une enceinte scellée (emploi plus commode) ou peut être recyclé en permanence dans le compteur (dans la détection des particules chargées en particulier).

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Vertebrae and Bone Marrow
DEF

The appearance of a radiolucent stripe in an intervertebral disk, [which is] a manifestation of disk degeneration.

CONT

The vacuum disc phenomenon was... described as the presence of "air" in the intervertebral soft tissues of the spine. It is related to advanced arthrosis of the intervertebral disc. In the early stages of disc degeneration, the nucleus pulposus begins to desiccate, which results in fissuring of the fibrocartilage. These fissures can develop into spaces or clefts that fill with gas from the surrounding tissues. Gas obtained by aspiration directly from a vacuum disc was found to consist of 92 per cent nitrogen.

OBS

The term "vacuum disk phenomenon" is a misnomer since there is gas present.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
  • Vertèbres et moelle
CONT

Au début le disque intervertébral peut apparaître bombant et biconvexe avec un plateau vertébral déprimé et aminci en regard du nucleus pulposus, ce qui est lié à la compression du cartilage par le nucleus turgescent, gênant son ossification normale. Le pincement discal est tardif et inconstant. Il traduit toujours une dégénérescence discale. Il peut s'accompagner d'un phénomène du gaz intra-discal.

Key term(s)
  • phénomène du gaz intradiscal

Subject field(s)
  • Photography
  • Lamps
CONT

Electronic flash tubes are made in many sizes and forms, such as straight, U, or spiral shapes, as required for different applications. The gas pressure and electrode spacing are arranged so that the tube will not flash by itself in most applications. But when a triggering pulse is applied to an external electrode, internal ionization results, and the tube flashes. Most of the flash tubes used today are filled with Xenon gas at a pressure of a fraction of an atmosphere. A series of 1 microsecond exposures of the arc in a typical tube made with a magneto-optic shutter shows that the arc starts as a narrow filament adjacent to the flash-tube wall on the side of the external triggering electrode. Soon, if the energy is sufficiently large, the arc filament enlarges to fill the entire flash tube.
