In SGMD [sweeping gas membrane distillation],..., inert gas is used to sweep the vapor at the permeate membrane side to condense outside the membrane module. There is a gas barrier, like in AGMD [air gap membrane distillation], to reduce the heat loss; but this is not stationary, which enhances the mass transfer coefficient. This configuration is useful for removing volatile compounds from aqueous solution. 5, record 1, English, - sweep%20gas%20membrane%20distillation

Dans la distillation membranaire à entraînement gazeux ou la sweeping gas membrane distillation ..., la membrane hydrophobe se situe entre l’alimentation en liquide chaud et un vecteur gaz froid et inerte. Dans cette configuration la pression du côté perméat est inférieure à la pression de saturation du liquide. Cette différence de pression permet aux molécules du liquide de s’évaporer à l’interface liquide chaud/membrane et traverser les pores de la membrane à l’état gazeux. Elles sont ensuite emportées par le gaz vecteur froid vers la sortie et condensées à l’extérieur du module membranaire. La SGMD [sweeping gas membrane distillation] a la plus basse polarisation de température parmi toutes les configurations. Le flux de distillat donné par cette configuration est relativement faible. 3, record 1, French, - distillation%20membranaire%20%C3%A0%20entra%C3%AEnement%20gazeux

... hot-wire anemometry... uses a small, electrically heated wire exposed to a flow for the purpose of measuring a flow property. The flow property to be measured is usually the flow velocity. The hot-wire probe consists of a thin wire with prongs to support the wire.... the wire is heated by a current that passes through it. The heat transfer coefficient between the thin heated wire and the surrounding fluid medium changes as the change of the properties of [a] moving fluid. Thus, the flow property is obtained from the change of [the] heat transfer coefficient of the wire. 2, record 2, English, - hot%20wire%20anemometry

Anémométrie à fils chauds. [...] Cette méthode de mesure permet d'accéder à la vitesse locale et instantanée de l'écoulement étudié au voisinage du fil. [...] L'anémométrie à fils chauds repose sur les échanges thermiques entre le fluide en mouvement et un fil conducteur chauffé et placé dans cet écoulement. Lorsqu'une variation de vitesse du fluide survient au voisinage du fil, il en résulte une modification du transfert de chaleur entre le fil et le fluide. L'équilibre thermique est modifié et entraîne un changement de la température du fil et donc de sa résistance. 1, record 2, French, - an%C3%A9mom%C3%A9trie%20%C3%A0%20fil%20chaud

Le transport vertical des gaz CO2 et CH4 sous forme dissoute dans le réservoir se fait par diffusion turbulente et par mélange convectif. Deux formulations du paramétrage du transfert des gaz vers l'atmosphère ont été testées pour l'estimation des flux de GES [gaz à effet de serre] à la surface des réservoirs. La première formulation fait appel aux coefficients d'échanges turbulents alors que la seconde s'apparente à un modèle de couche-limite. 2, record 12, French, - coefficient%20d%27%C3%A9change%20turbulent

Heat exchangers may also be constructed in different fashions... The third design is a spiral tube type which consists of spirally wound coils placed in a shell. They are designed as coaxial condensors and coaxial evaporators that are used in refrigeration systems. The heat transfer coefficient is higher in a spiral tube than that for a straight tube. These exchangers are more suitable for clean fluids as cleaning them is almost impossible. 2, record 13, English, - coaxial%20evaporator

La conduction de l'air agit de manière analogue, transmettant les variations thermiques du sol aux basses couches de l'atmosphère. Cette conduction agit de manière efficace lorsqu'il y a de la turbulence. Si la turbulence est nulle (de nuit avec vent calme), la conduction est très faible. Mais s'il y a du vent, la turbulence accroît la conduction. Cependant en cas de refroidissement du sol, celui-ci n'est transmis qu'aux très basses couches de l'atmosphère, ce qui exige un minimum de turbulence (vent faible). Par contre en cas de réchauffement du sol, la conductivité turbulente peut atteindre une hauteur de 500 à 1500 m (même 3000 m en régions tropicales). 3, record 15, French, - conductivit%C3%A9%20turbulente

La mer échange de la chaleur avec l'atmosphère par contact. La chaleur cédée (ou reçue) par la mer est fonction du gradient vertical de température dans l'air : K: coefficient de conductivité thermique de l'air, Cp : chaleur spécifique de l'air à pression constante. Si l'air est stationnaire, la conduction est due aux mouvements aléatoires des molécules et K est la conductivité thermique moléculaire (caractéristique de l'air à une température donnée). Mais l'air est en mouvement ce qui accroît les échanges de chaleur, ce mouvement a un caractère turbulent et K est alors le coefficient de conductivité turbulente de la chaleur (caractéristique de l'écoulement). 2, record 16, French, - coefficient%20de%20conductivit%C3%A9%20turbulente
