balance energético; balance radiativo; equilibrio térmico de la Tierra: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el giro apropiado para aludir al equilibrio térmico de la Tierra por la radiación que recibe y emite es balance radiativo [también llamado balance energético], y no balance radiactivo, pues este concepto no tiene relación directa con la radiactividad. [...] De modo más general, el Vocabulario científico y técnico de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales (España) explica que radiativo es la ‘cualidad atribuible a la radiación electromagnética’. Por otra parte, radiactivo viene definido en el Diccionario académico como ‘que tiene radiactividad’ y por tanto alude a las radiaciones emitidas por los átomos cuando se desintegran, como ocurre, por ejemplo, con el radio, el uranio y el plutonio. 1, record 2, Spanish, - balance%20radiativo%20de%20la%20Tierra

Two-Fluid Model. The final type of multiphase model is the multiple fluid model(better known as the two fluid model designating two phases or components). This model treats the general case of modelling each phase or component as a separate fluid with its own set of governing balance equations. In general each phase has its own velocity, temperature and pressure. The velocity difference as in the separated flow is induced by density differences. The temperature differences between the phases is fundamentally induced by the time lag of energy transfer between the phases at the interface as thermal equilibrium is reached. 1, record 3, English, - two%2Dfluid%20model

Avec l'augmentation de la puissance de calcul, l'application du modèle à deux fluides est devenue possible pour un temps de calcul raisonnable. Ce modèle a été développé dans les années 1970-1980 et intégré dans les codes de simulation au milieu des années 1980. Le modèle considère deux fluides qui s'écoulent ensemble dans un même espace et échangent masse, quantité de mouvement et énergie à leur interface. Il est nécessaire de définir des lois constitutives d'échange à utiliser avec les six équations disponibles, trois pour chaque phase (conservation de la masse, de la quantité de mouvement et de l'énergie). 1, record 3, French, - mod%C3%A8le%20%C3%A0%20deux%20fluides

A traditional concept of international relations which asserts that peace among nations rests upon a delicate international equilibrium, or international distribution of power, and that whenever one state (or group of states) becomes too strong and powerful (which could potentially upset that balance), other states are duty bound to diminish the power and the influence of that state (or states) by any means possible, including war. 1, record 6, English, - balance%20of%20power

Since balance of power sometimes means equilibrium, and sometimes means disequilibrium, it is not too surprising to learn that it sometimes achieves a position of majestic neutrality and consents to mean either one. In this usage, the balance of power becomes the equivalent of "the distribution of power"; just as temperature refers to a thermal situation, whether it be hot or cold, so balance of power refers to the power situation, whether it be balanced or unbalanced. 3, record 6, English, - balance%20of%20power

The Earth's upper atmosphere, beginning only 10-15 km above the surface, remains a frontier largely unexplored from space. The goal of upper atmosphere research is to understand the chemistry, dynamics, and energy balance above the troposphere as well as the coupling between these processes and between atmosphere regions. This implies an understanding of the mechanisms that control upper atmosphere structure and variability, as well as an understanding of how the upper atmosphere responds to natural and man-made causes. Together, these will help define the role of the upper atmosphere in climate and climate variability. The UARS [Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite] platform provides simultaneous, coordinated measurements of atmospheric internal structure(trace constituents, physical dynamics, radiative emission, thermal structure, density) and measurements of the external influences acting upon the upper atmosphere(solar radiation, tropospheric conditions, electric fields). 2, record 7, English, - Earth%27s%20upper%20atmosphere
