Various theories and models have been advanced to account for the origin of geothermal heat and the mechanism of its upward transfer towards the surface of earth. The actual source of the heat is now almost universally believed to be radioactivity, mostly within the crustal rocks... 2, record 1, English, - geothermal%20heat

De nos jours, le refroidissement par impact de jet est très utilisé dans le monde industriel sous des contraintes géométriques et aérothermiques variables; on peut par exemple citer quelques applications industrielles telles que le refroidissement de surfaces vitrées lors de leur fabrication (pare-brise, bouteille ...), le refroidissement des composants électroniques lors de leur fabrication mais aussi lors de leur utilisation. Enfin dans le domaine aéronautique, cette technique est fréquemment employée pour refroidir les aubes de turbines de réacteur, pour dégivrer les bords d'attaque et les entrées d'air de réacteur. 1, record 2, French, - refroidissement%20par%20impact%20de%20jet
