confort: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la grafía "confort", término incorporado al léxico español a través del francés, se escribe con ene y no es recomendable la escritura con m, propia del inglés ("comfort"). Tal y como explica el Diccionario panhispánico de dudas, es una palabra aguda ("confort", no "cónfort") y se escribe sin tilde por acabar en más de una consonante. [...] Por último, se recuerda que, aunque su uso no es censurable, puede alternar con equivalentes como "bienestar" o "comodidad".  4, record 1, Spanish, - confort%20clim%C3%A1tico

In a nuclear plant of Westinghouse design the reactor coolant system components may be forged or cast stainless steel and varies from plant to plant. The reactor coolant pump casings are always cast. Both forged and cast product forms exhibit exceptionally high toughness in the as-build condition; however, the cast material is susceptible to thermal aging. Thermal aging causes significant reduction in fracture toughness, while the tensile strength and yield stress of the materials most often increase.  1, record 2, English, - thermal%20aging

La dénomination de «vieillissement thermique» recouvre toute une série de mécanismes basés sur la diffusion des éléments chimiques et permettant aux «systèmes» métallurgiques de revenir à un état d'équilibre thermodynamique plus stable, sous l'effet de la température de fonctionnement (entre 290 et 350 °C dans le cœur des REP [réacteur à eau sous pression]). Ce retour à l'équilibre se traduit par une évolution microstructurale et par une évolution des propriétés des matériaux. Les principaux mécanismes de vieillissement thermique susceptibles d'apparaître sont la précipitation, la mise en ordre, le vieillissement dynamique et la ségrégation de certaines espèces chimiques. Tous ces mécanismes conduisent plus ou moins à une fragilisation du matériau (avec ou sans durcissement).  3, record 2, French, - vieillissement%20thermique

The Thixoforming Group in the Department of Engineering Materials at the University of Sheffield undertakes research and development into the forming of alloys and composites in the semi-solid state(SSM). This process is commonly called thixoforming(thixocasting or thixoforging) and possesses some of the advantages of both casting and forging. Initially the material behaves in the semi-solid condition like a solid(it can be picked up and holds it shape unsupported), but when injected into a die it flows like a liquid to take the form of the die accurately, as in die-casting. However, the structure is fine and uniform, virtually free of porosity, and the product may be heat-treated to give mechanical properties superior to those of castings. The thermal shock to the die is less than that given by a liquid, which means that higher melting point alloys-which cannot easily be diecast-may nevertheless be thixocast.  1, record 3, English, - thixoforming

Certains alliages métalliques, préparés dans des conditions particulières, présentent un caractère thixotrope à l'état semi-liquide. Cette propriété leur confère un comportement particulier qui présente un intérêt pour les opérations de formage. Le thixoformage constitue l'une de ces opérations, rendues possibles par la connaissance et la maîtrise croissante des caractéristiques et de la mise en œuvre des alliages thixotropes. Le thixoformage recouvre deux procédés de formage des matériaux thixotropes : le moulage (ou thixomoulage) et le forgeage (ou thixoforgeage).  1, record 3, French, - thixoformage

Endurance horses have a physical look which could be described as small and wiry, without excessive muscling. Typical body weight measurements would be in the range of 850 to 1050 pounds. From a body condition standpoint, most endurance horses are moderately thin, resembling human endurance runners. The small, lightly muscled physic of endurance horses is advantageous both for reducing thermal load and for traveling up and down mountains.  1, record 4, English, - endurance%20horse

The new 60-megawatt segmented arc heater, known as H3, significantly improves AEDC' s [Arnold Engineering Development Center] present arc capabilities... Arc heaters such as H3 produce the high pressures and heat fluxes required for testing thermal protection materials used for nose tips and heat shields. Arc heater tests provide information to manufacturers about the probable condition a space vehicle component would experience following re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. An arc heater is basically a large tube that high-pressure air runs through. The air is heated by discharging tens of megawatts of power using an electric arc similar to a lightning bolt. At the nozzle, or downstream end of the heater, test personnel install models or materials and subject them to simulated high pressure and temperature conditions generated by the bolt. Temperatures range from 5, 000 to 15, 000 degrees Fahrenheit, requiring each component to be water-cooled.  2, record 7, English, - segmented%20arc%20heater

The ’flip-side’ of the Peltier effect is the Seebeck effect-when thermal energy moves through an electrically-conductive material, charge carriers are transported by the heat. Thus when you create a temperature difference across a thermoelectric device, the movement of heat and charge carriers creates an electrical pressure(called Seebeck voltage). If an electrical load is connected across the device, current will flow-if not, the pressure builds to a steady state condition and a ’no-load’ voltage will be present.  3, record 8, English, - Seebeck%20voltage
