HOLLOW JET [5 records]

Record 1 2008-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plumbing Fixtures
CONT

whirlpool tub/jacuzzi tub/air jet bathtub.

CONT

Once you choose between an air-jet bathtub and a whirlpool system, your cares will bubble away.

OBS

An air jet of an air massage system used with a bathtub having a wall defining opposite visible and hidden surfaces and defining a number of openings through the bathtub wall. The air jet comprises a hollow body having opposed inlet and outlet ends and a unidirectional flow device disposed therebetween. [Text accompanied by an illustration]

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils sanitaires
CONT

Si vous n'avez jamais fait l'expérience d'une baignoire à jets d'air, vous aimerez en apprendre un peu plus sur la sensation que procure l'air en mouvement dans l'eau et sur votre peau.

Record 2 2001-08-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refractory Materials (Metallurgy)
CONT

The general process is depicted schematically in Figure 1. Figure 2 illustrates in more detail the design of a version in which the microballoons are formed in a hollow jet. This version imposes the most formidable high-temperature design limitations and is the one most widely tested.

  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A drilling method that utilizes a chopping bit, with a water jet run on a string of hollow drill rods, to chop through soils and wash the cuttings to the surface.

Record 4 1998-04-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Propulsion Systems
CONT

The X-wing has emerged from the circulation controlled rotor(CCR) in which a hollow blade of roughly oval aerofoil section, that is, without a real lifting profile at all, can be made to lift effectively by blowing a layer of air through a slot and across the curved Coanda surface which forms the trailing-edge. While this in itself produces lift, the air jet can be so modulated as the rotor turns that it has the same effect as the cyclic pitch changing of the normal rotor. Finally, a further jet can be blown through a second slot near the leading-edge of the blade so that it restores the lost lift of the retreating blade. This fore-and-aft blowing is the key to the stopped-rotor X-wing.

Record 5 1997-09-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metallurgy - General
DEF

A thermally resistant alloy for use at elevated temperatures where high stresses and oxidation are encountered.

CONT

A new ceramic material will permit for the first time the manufacture of hollow, intricately-shaped jet engine components from oriented eutectic superalloys, which are among the toughest, most heat-resistant alloys so far known.

OBS

Any of various high-strength often complex alloys having resistance to high temperature.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Métallurgie générale
DEF

Alliage, à base de chrome, de nickel et de cobalt, qui présente une excellente résistance au fluage et une très bonne stabilité structurelle à température élevée ainsi qu'un très bon niveau de résistance à l'oxydation et à la corrosion en milieu agressif.

CONT

Les superalliages, qui résistent à des températures de 800 °C à 1100 °C, voire plus pour les structures à solidification dirigée ou monocristalline, sont employés dans la fabrication d'ailettes de turbines, de chambres de combustion, etc., de réacteurs d'avions. Les plus connus dans ce domaine sont le René 77, le René 80, le DS 200 (solidification dirigée), l'AMI (structure monocristalline) ainsi que le CSMX 2... Ces alliages sont également utilisés dans les turbomachines fixes, ainsi que dans les industries nucléaire et chimique.
