Record 1 2016-03-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gas Industry
  • Calorimetry
CONT

If oxygen, rather than air, is used for the carbon(coal)-oxygen heat-generating reaction, then a nitrogen-free, medium-calorific value gas is obtained... It is economical to send such gas by pipeline over reasonable distances and to use it directly for industrial and domestic purposes.

CONT

Medium-Btu gas, such as coal gas, coke gas, and synthesis gas, has a heat value of 13 to 26 Mj/m³ (350 to 700 Btu/ft³).

Key term(s)
  • medium calorific value gas
  • intermediate Btu gas
  • moderate Btu gas
  • medium Btu gas
  • medium-joule value gas

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie du gaz
  • Calorimétrie
CONT

Un gaz à moyen pouvoir calorifique (obtenu par réaction d'oxygène et de vapeur) est bien adapté à une desserte régionale d'utilisateurs industriels. Le gaz reste relativement facile à fabriquer, le ballast est réduit au seul CO2.

Record 2 2015-02-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Power Stations
  • Heat (Physics)
CONT

Conjugate Heat Transfer and Thermoelastic Analysis of Heat-Generating Rods.... The work reported here stems from a continuing research program on the coupled thermal-hydraulic-structural analysis of reactor fuel elements, particularly of rod-cluster type in single phase flow.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Centrales nucléaires
  • Chaleur (Physique)
DEF

Qui produit de la chaleur.

CONT

L'industrialisation des [réacteurs à haute température] est encore soumise à de nombreux aléas. Cependant, leur utilisation, non pas en tant que réacteurs électrogènes, mais plutôt en réacteurs calogènes en ferait des auxiliaires privilégiés de l'industrie chimique de demain.

Record 3 1996-03-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
  • Heat (Physics)
OBS

Heat-storing or heat-generating wastes. Proposal on the model of "heating textile" in TERMIUM.

Key term(s)
  • heat-storing waste
  • heat wastes
  • heat-storing wastes
  • heat-generating wastes

French

Domaine(s)
  • Déchets nucléaires
  • Chaleur (Physique)
CONT

La roche hôte sera choisie en fonction de la facilité à y réaliser les travaux miniers. Sur le plan thermique, on sera conduit à évaluer la capacité thermique du site c'est-à-dire : - d'une part,la puissance thermique totale qu'il pourra recevoir (quantité totale de déchets chauffants), - d'autre part, la charge thermique massique (facteur déterminant l'espacement entre les colis chauffants).

Key term(s)
  • déchets chauffants

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Desechos nucleares
  • Calor (Física)
