The double flow turbine design not only provides double the expansion volume within a common casing, it also balances the large pressure drop between the turbine steam inlet and exhaust which tends to force the blade wheels from the high-pressure side towards the low-pressure side.... Steam enters the turbine in the middle of the casing and expands outward in both directions before exhausting at the ends of the turbine. In each half of the turbine, a very large thrust is generated. These thrusts oppose each other; the resultant force is significantly reduced. 1, record 1, English, - double%20flow%20turbine

Premièrement, une turbine à double flux permet de doubler le volume d'expansion dans une seule turbine. Deuxièmement, elle absorbe la forte chute de pression de la vapeur, qui se traduit par une force exercée sur les roues à ailettes depuis le côté haute pression vers le côté basse pression. [...] La vapeur pénètre dans la turbine par le milieu du corps et se dilate vers l'extérieur dans les deux directions, avant d'être évacuée aux deux extrémités de la machine. Chaque moitié de la turbine produit une très forte poussée. 1, record 1, French, - turbine%20%C3%A0%20double%20flux

Une toiture métallique est soumise au mouvement thermique dû à la dilatation et à la contraction de la tôle. [...] Pour que le solin de faîte puisse aussi s'adapter aux forces de dilatation et de contraction des tôles ancrées au niveau du bas du toit, il est nécessaire de calculer le mouvement thermique de ces dernières et de spécifier le solin de faîte en conséquence. 2, record 2, French, - force%20de%20dilatation

The coefficients in an expansion of the intramolecular potential function in terms of a definite set of coordinates, the values of which define the deformation of the molecule away from its equilibrium configuration. In order to define force constants, one has to indicate both the definition of each coordinate and the expansion of the potential. 1, record 3, English, - force%20constant

During inspiration, the force developed by the contracting muscles of inspiration meets progressively increasing(inward) recoil forces from the combined expansion of the lung and chest wall. Furthermore, because shortening muscle fibers generate progressively less force, inspiration finally ceases at that volume(total lung capacity) at which the weakening inspiratory muscle forces can no longer overcome the increasing forces required to expand the lungs and chest wall. 1, record 5, English, - inspiratory%20muscle%20force
