In electrical power generation, a system in which a gas turbine drives a generator to produce electricity, and the hot exhaust... from the gas turbine is used to produce steam in a boiler, which is used to drive a steam turbine to drive a generator(conventional cycle) to produce electricity... Thus, electricity is produced by a gas turbine and a steam turbine. A combined cycle might consist of a conventional cycle plus a topping cycle or bottoming cycle or both. 1, record 2, English, - combined%20cycle

Mode de production d'électricité utilisant à la fois l'énergie mécanique directe d'une turbine à gaz et l'énergie thermique de ses gaz d'échappement, par récupération de leur chaleur dans un échangeur; cette chaleur sert à produire de la vapeur qui est ensuite détendue dans une autre turbine. Les deux turbines entraînent chacune un alternateur avec un rendement global qui peut atteindre 55 %. 2, record 2, French, - cycle%20combin%C3%A9

L'accroissement de la puissance unitaire des turbines, qui atteint aujourd'hui les 225 mégawatts, favorise le développement du cycle combiné pour la production d'électricité à partir de gaz. Une centrale à cycle combiné occupe 40 % d'espace en moins qu'une centrale au fioul ou au charbon, elle consomme moins d'énergie primaire et pollue moins. Enfin, sa conception modulaire lui permet de suivre plus étroitement l'évolution de la demande. 2, record 2, French, - cycle%20combin%C3%A9

spouted bed gasifier.... a single-chamber air-fed gasifier operated on a cyclical basis, to yield a high calorific-value gas essentially uncontaminated by carbon dioxide or nitrogen. Wood chips or wood pellets are fed on top of a bed of hot sand in the reactor, and are then mixed by spouting the bed using steam. Some gasification occurs during this phase, but most takes place during the ensuing "cooking" phase during which the bed is static. When the temperature has fallen to a suitably low value air is admitted to burn the char and raise the temperature of the sand to its original value. Wood is then added to begin a new cycle. 1, record 3, English, - spouted%2Dbed%20gasifier

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 4, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
