Record 3 2015-12-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A water-base mud in which water is the continuous phase and oil is the dispersed phase.

OBS

The oil is spread out, or dispersed, in the water in the form of small droplets. The oil droplets are tightly emulsified in the water so that they do not settle out. Owing to its lubricating abilities and other factors, the use of an oil-emulsion mud may increase the drilling rate and give better hole conditions than other muds.

Record 4 2015-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Maneuvering of Ships
CONT

An air bubble system was introduced on Baltic icebreaking vessels in the 1970s. The system uses one or more air compressors to force air through nozzles at the ship's side below the water-line. The air bubbles rise to the surface together with entrained water, lubricating the interface between the ice and the ship's hull, both above and below the water-line.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvre des navires
CONT

Un système de production de bulles d'air (bullage) a été adopté pendant les années 1970 dans les brise-glace de la Baltique. Ce système utilise un ou plusieurs compresseurs pour pulser de l'air dans des buses latérales au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison. Les bulles montent à la surface avec l'eau entraînée, lubrifiant la zone de contact entre les glaces et la coque, tant au-dessus qu'au-dessous de la ligne de flottaison.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Maneuvering of Ships
CONT

The water-wash system, installed on some Canadian icebreakers, pumps a large volume of water to nozzles at the bow above the water-line. The objective is to flood the ice with water, thereby lubricating the interface between ship and ice.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Manœuvre des navires
CONT

Le système de déversement à la coque, que l'on trouve dans quelques brise-glaces canadiens, pompe de grandes quantités d'eau dans des buses avant au-dessus de la ligne de flottaison. Le but est d'inonder la glace d'eau, ce qui a pour effet de lubrifier la zone de contact entre le bâtiment et les glaces.
