English

Subject field(s)
  • Pools
  • Swimming
  • Sports Facilities and Venues
CONT

Gutters are overflow channels that fit along the edge of the pool. Floating debris and oil flow into the gutters and into the balance tank. Pools with gutters do not typically have skimmers.

Record 2 2016-02-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment and Tools (Water Supply)
  • Wastewater Treatment
CONT

A digestion unit is not simply a tank to be filled with sludge but a reactor for biochemical reactions, the balance of which must be carefully monitored and which can easily be guided by regular observations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage (Alimentation en eau)
  • Traitement des eaux usées
CONT

Une installation de digestion n'est pas une simple cuve où l'on enfouit des boues, mais un réacteur à l'intérieur duquel se déroulent des réactions biochimiques, dont l'équilibre doit être contrôlé et qui peuvent être guidées par des observations régulières.

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
CONT

To increase the power to 20% of the rated power to start the turbine generator system, the reflector is periodically lifted up at a speed of 1mm per 15 minutes in automatic mode. Periodic operation is needed to stabilize the system heat balance. At the same time, the pressure of the water steam separation tank is decreased to generate steam and to reduce the re-circulation flow. After this, the power is increased to full power by lifting up the reflectors and increasing the feed water flow.

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Airframe
CONT

For each casting whose failure would preclude continued safe flight and landing of the aeroplane or result in serious injury to occupants, the following apply: (1) Each critical casting must either: (i) Have a casting factor of not less than 1.25 and receive 100 percent inspection by visual, radiographic, and either magnetic particle, penetrant or other approved equivalent non-destructive inspection method ...

OBS

Examples of... castings are structural attachment fittings, parts of flight control systems, control surface hinges and balance weight attachments, seat, berth, safety belt, and fuel and oil tank supports and attachments, and cabin pressure valves.

Domaine(s)
  • Cellule d'aéronefs
CONT

Pour chaque pièce coulée dont la rupture empêcherait la poursuite du vol et l'atterrissage sans danger de l'avion ou se traduirait par des blessures graves aux occupants, ce qui suit s'applique : (1) Chaque pièce coulée critique doit, soit (i) avoir un coefficient de pièce coulée non inférieur à 1,25, et faire l'objet d'une inspection à 100 % par des méthodes d'inspection visuelle, radiographique et à particules magnétiques ou par ressuage, ou encore par des méthodes équivalentes d'inspection non destructive approuvées [...]

OBS

Des exemples de [...] pièces coulées sont les ferrures d'attache de structure, les éléments des commandes de vol, les articulations de gouverne et les fixations des masses d'équilibrage, les supports et attaches des sièges, des couchettes, des ceintures de sécurité et des réservoirs de carburant et d'huile, et les soupapes de pressurisation de cabine.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Beverages
CONT

Aseptic juice processing with pulp.... Raw product from the balance tank is transported by a booster pump through the raw regenerator section where it is pre-heated by sterile product form the sterile regenerator. The product then flows to the timing pump, which controls the product flow rate of the system. Pre-heated raw product enters the heater section from the timing pump and is heated to the sterilizing temperature before entering the holding tube. Processed product from the holding tube enters the sterile regenerator section where it is pre-cooled by incoming product form the raw regenerator. Processed product is then cooled to filling temperature and flows through a set of divert valves to a customer supplied filler or back to the balance tank.

  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
CONT

Another very clever way-out was pioneered by the blind physicist Plateau already in the XIX century : the isodense tank(Plateau tank) with an immiscible liquid to balance the(high) hydrostatic gradient. But on both cases(millimetric-size liquid bridges and Plateau simulation) the mechanical behaviour(statics and dynamics) of liquid bridges is difficult to investigate under ground conditions because both techniques make experimentation difficult, imprecise and can mask effects only measurable under reduced gravity conditions. That explains why so many experiments with liquid bridges have been performed under microgravity since the pioneering demonstrations in Skylab in 1974, and how different the real behaviour of liquid bridges in space has been found.
