[Steam Traps] Monitoring and evaluation equipment does not save any energy directly, but identifies traps that have failed and whether failure has occurred in an open or closed position. Traps failing in an open position allow steam to pass continuously, as long as the system is energized. The rate of energy loss can be estimated based on the size of the orifice and system steam pressure... figure is derived from Grashof's equation for steam discharge through an orifice... and assumes the trap is energized(leaks) the entire year, all steam leak energy is lost, and that makeup water is available at an average temperature of 60°F.  1, record 1, English, - Grashof%26rsquo%3Bs%20equation

Corrélation de Grashof. Elle est utilisée pour le cas d'un écoulement dans un grand volume où l'on ne peut plus parler d'écoulement monodimensionnel mais plutôt d'une série de vortex du fluide à l'intérieur d'un grand volume fermé. Ce cas n'a pas lieu dans les tuyauteries primaires, mais on peut l'avoir dans l'espace gaz de l'accumulateur.  1, record 1, French, - corr%C3%A9lation%20de%20Grashof

The shovel shear test provides information about the location where the snow could fail in shear. It is best applied for identification of buried weak layers and does not usually produce useful results in layers close to the snow surface. Soft snow near the surface is better tested with the tilt board and the shear frame or an improvised version of this tilt test.  3, record 2, English, - shovel%20shear%20test

Shovel Shear Test. This test can be done on a flat or on a slope. With good technique, the location of weak layers, even thin weak layers, can be found. First dig a hole or pit in the snow. The vertical wall of the pit should be straight up and down, and smooth. Make a mark on the uphill portion of one corner of your pit with your shovel blade. This will mark the boundaries of your column, which should be roughly 30 cm by 30 cm or 12 inches square.(A) Now, cut both sides using a snow saw or your ski, all the way to the floor of the pit making sure that the cuts are straight.(B) The back of the column should only be cut as deep as your shovel blade is long, so measure with your shovel blade(C) and then cut the back.(D) Next, insert your shovel, blade down, in the back cut of the column and pull gently and evenly forward being careful not to lever your shovel handle.(E) Examine the shear layer where the block failed.(F) The force applied to the shovel that causes a weak layer to shear from the layers surrounding it can be rated as follows : Very easy... Easy... Moderate... Hard...  4, record 2, English, - shovel%20shear%20test

Le test de la pelle consiste à isoler une tranche du manteau neigeux de base carrée (la largeur est celle de la pelle, soit une trentaine de centimètres en moyenne), puis à la tirer vers soi ou à la charger pour détecter la présence de plan(s) de glissement potentiel(s).  4, record 2, French, - test%20de%20cisaillement%20%C3%A0%20la%20pelle
