Record 1 2008-08-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thermoanalysis
  • Thermal Springs - Uses
DEF

Path which heat takes as it moves by conduction through a material from a high temperature to a lower one.

OBS

Length of flow path is how far the heat travels; area of the flow path is how much material the heat flows through at each point along the path.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Thermo-analyse
  • Thermalisme
DEF

Parcours emprunté par la chaleur se déplaçant par conduction à travers un matériau sous une température d'une intensité passant de haute à basse.

OBS

La longueur de la ligne de flux thermique correspond au taux de pénétration de la chaleur; de même, la superficie de la ligne de flux thermique désigne le volume de matériau traversé par la chaleur à chaque section du parcours.

Record 2 - external organization data 2006-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Plant Safety
  • Thermodynamics
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
CONT

The emergency coolant injection system(ECIS) protects the fuel and heat transport system boundary when normal cooling fails. Its purpose is to refill the heat transport system and keep it full after a loss of coolant accident(LOCA). This sets up an alternative heat flow path for removing decay heat.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sûreté des centrales nucléaires
  • Thermodynamique
  • Tiroir - Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire
CONT

Le système de refroidissement d'urgence du coeur par injection (SRUCI) protège le combustible et la limite du circuit caloporteur lorsque le refroidissement normal subit une défaillance. Il a pour but de remplir le circuit caloporteur et de le maintenir plein après un accident dû à la perte de réfrigérant primaire (APRP). Cela constitue un autre trajet pour le flux de chaleur qui élimine la chaleur de désintégration.
