HORIZONTAL EXCHANGE [10 records]

Record 1 2005-04-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

A horizontal exchange of air between updraught and environment takes place through entrainment and detrainment. Detrainment transports saturated updraught air into the environment without changing its mass. However in the presence of cloudy mass of fraction a in the environment the entrained air will be a mixture of saturated air and unsaturated air.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Physique de l'atmosphère
CONT

[...] dans l'atmosphère les profils de température et d'humidité ne dépendent pas seulement des échanges radiatifs, mais également des échanges verticaux de chaleur ou d'humidité dus à des processus physiques complexes (et moins bien connus que le transfert radiatif) tels que la turbulence, la convection, la formation de systèmes nuageux et de précipitations, ainsi qu'à des échanges horizontaux par les mouvements atmosphériques de grande échelle.

Record 2 2003-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
DEF

A passage for conveying flame and hot gases around or through water in a steam boiler.

CONT

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube(flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube(fluid inside).

CONT

The firing tubes are copper clad on the water side. The 2 in. OD by number 13 gauge tubes are formed by telescoping a .030 in. hard phosphorized copper tube over a .065 in. seamless steel tube and drawing over a mandrel and through a die for a tight bond. Long tube life is positively assured under the most aggressive conditions.

The Acrobat Reader and Exchange programs create a document window for every open PDF document. The document window contains other windows, windoids, and two panes; an Overview pane and a Page View pane. An Overview pane exposes either a bookmark or thumbnail window. A Page View pane exposes a Page View window. The document window's Width Control position determines the Overview and Page View pane horizontal size within the document window.

Record 9 1990-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

Steel boilers are fabricated into one assembly of a given size and rating, usually by welding. The heat exchange surface past the firebox usually is an assembly of vertical, horizontal, or slanted tubes. The tubes may be firetube(flue gas inside, heated fluid outside) or watertube(fluid inside). The tubes may be in one or more passes. As with cast-iron boilers, dry base, wet leg, or wet base design may be used. The majority of small steel heating boilers are of dry base, vertical firetube design. Larger boilers usually have horizontal or slanted tubes; both firetube and watertube designs are used. A popular design for medium and large steel boilers, is the Scotch, or Scotch Marine, which is characterized by having a central fluid-backed cylindrical firebox, surrounded by firetubes in one or more passes, all within the outer shell.... Steel boiler sizes range from approximately 14. 7 kW(150 mBh) to the largest boilers made.

OBS

The boiler heats the water for circulation through the system. It may be rectangular or square (occasionally even round) and made of steel or cast iron.

OBS

Boilers may be grouped into classes based on working pressure and temperature, fuel used, shape and size [materials of construction]....

GÉNÉRATEURS EN ACIER. Considérations sur l'utilisation de l'acier.

[...] Les chaudières en acier peuvent être construites en un seul bloc ou comporter les éléments indépendants (généralement sectionnés).

OBS

Chaudière: Certains auteurs incluent l'air dans les types de fluide caloporteur de la chaudière. En général, on devrait plutôt dire "chaudière" lorsque le fluide caloporteur est l'eau ou la vapeur et "générateur d'air chaud", lorsque le fluide, est l'air.

OBS

générateur; chaudière: Certains auteurs semblent employer indifféremment ces termes, peu importe l'importance de l'appareil. Cependant, de façon générale, "générateur" serait réservé aux "appareils de chauffage de très grande importance"; dans d'autres cas, le terme "générateur", prendrait le sens général "d'appareil qui produit de la chaleur".
