Fluid seals. When a reciprocating or rotating shaft extends from a bearing or a housing(enclosure) containing a fluid, such as a pump, a gearbox, or a hydraulic transmission, the shaft must be free to move relative to the housing, and at the same time leakage of fluids... must be restricted.

Les termes «seal» et «gasket» sont souvent utilisés comme de parfaits synonymes. Néanmoins, il semble d'usage de plus en plus courant d'utiliser le mot «gasket» en parlant du dispositif assurant l'étanchéité statique d'un assemblage et de réserver un troisième terme, soit «packing», à la dénomination de celui en assurant l'étanchéité dynamique. Le mot «seal» peut donc être considéré à la fois comme générique et comme spécifique. 3, record 9, French, - joint%20d%27%C3%A9tanch%C3%A9it%C3%A9

The purpose of a flare on the end of a tube is twofold. First, it provides a flange that is gripped between the sleeve or flare nut and the body of a fitting. This prevents the end of the tube from slipping out of the fitting. Second, the flare acts as a gasket between the sleeve and the cone of the fitting, thus providing a tight seal. [The] flare must be nearly perfect because minute cracks or irregularities would permit leakage at the junction. 2, record 11, English, - flare

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. 1, record 22, English, - closed%2Dcycle%20gas%20turbine
