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

The present invention relates to a modular nuclear fuel element, which can be adapted by an assembly system allowing it to be used in different nuclear power plants with horizontal and vertical cooling channels. The module is a cluster of parallel fuel rods mounted as circular concentric crowns and supported by a structural system. It has a single diameter fuel rod array where the ratio of the heat transfer area to the transverse rod area is higher than 330. It also has self-supporting fuel element spacer grids, which are collapsible sheaths attached to them with fewer than 13 welded end stoppers. 2, record 2, English, - fuel%20element%20spacer%20grid

The expansion tank (also called a compression tank) allows for the expansion of the water in the system as it is heated. It is located above the boiler. 5, record 3, English, - expansion%20tank
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 3 CONT
The compression tank differs from the expansion tank of the obsolete gravity systems in this characteristic of maintaining system pressure. The compression tank is open only to the system water, whereas the gravity expansion tank was open to atmosphere as well as to the system, and consequently had to be located higher than the highest radiator. The compression tank may be located anywhere, although tank size decreases with increasing height above the boiler. In large systems economy may indicate a high position, rather than in the usual boiler-room area. 6, record 3, English, - expansion%20tank
