INNER BOTTOM [17 records]

Record 1 2026-03-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ship and Boat Parts
  • Safety (Water Transport)
DEF

A ship hull design feature involving an inner bottom and second outer bottom layer that is reinforced, providing additional protection from damage or leaks.

OBS

The space between the two layers of a double bottom is sometimes used to store ballast water or fuel oil.

OBS

Not to be confused with a double hull, which applies when the entire hull rather than just the bottom has two layers for reinforcement purposes.

DEF

Caractéristique d'une coque de navire comportant un bordé intérieur et un bordé extérieur qui ont pour effet de renforcer le fond du navire et ainsi d'offrir une sécurité accrue en cas de dommage ou de fuite.

OBS

L'espace entre les bordés peut servir à l'entreposage d'eau de lest ou de combustibles.

OBS

DEF

A carbon nanotube composed of stacked truncated graphene nanocones.

CONT

Cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) differ from other quasi-1D carbon structures, which normally behave as quasi-metallic conductors of electrons. CSCNTs exhibit semiconducting behaviors due to the stacking microstructure of graphene layers.

CONT

While carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) are both hollow, nanometer in scale, and produced in a similar manner, there are distinct differences which significantly impact their performance and ability to be processed. The primary differences between the materials are morphology, size, ease of processing, and price. Carbon nanofibers, also known as Stacked-Cup Carbon Nanotubes (SCCNT), have a unique morphology in that graphene planes are canted from the fiber axis, resulting in exposed edge planes on the interior and exterior surfaces of the fiber. CNTs, on the other hand, typically resemble an assembly of concentric cylinders of graphene. To illustrate the difference in morphology, Figure 1 ... shows a side by side comparison of A) multi-walled carbon nanotubes [MWCNT] and B) stacked-cup carbon nanotubes. ... Figure 1. A) Multi-wall CNTs are composed of concentric cylinders of graphene where the basal planes form an inert surface. B) The stacked-cup structure of CNF has exposed graphitic edge planes along its length, providing opportunities for chemical modification of the surface for covalent bonding directly with the matrix.

OBS

This is completely different from single-wall or multiwall carbon nanotubes in structure. The open top and bottom edges of truncated graphene nanocones appear on the inner and outer surfaces of the nanotube, respectively.

OBS

cup-stack carbon nanotube; cup-stacked carbon nanotube: terms describing specific types of carbon nanofibres and nanoplates.

Record 8 2007-10-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Drying Equipment (Air Cond. and Heating)
  • Animal Feed Processing Equipment
  • Agriculture - General
CONT

The rotary dryer, sometimes known as a rotary kiln, is a type of industrial dryer employed to reduce or minimize the moisture content of the material it is handling by bringing it into direct contact with heated gas. The dryer is made up of a large, rotating cylindrical tube, usually supported by concrete columns or steel beams. The dryer slopes slightly so that the discharge end is lower than the material feed end in order to convey the material through the dryer under gravity. Material to be dried enters the higher end of the dryer, and as the dryer rotates, the material is lifted up by a series of internal fins lining the inner wall of the dryer. When the material gets high enough to roll back off the fins, it falls back down to the bottom of the dryer, passing through the hot air stream as it falls.

OBS

Typical material rotary dryers process include: aggregates, agricultural grains and by-products, animal feeds, animal waste, biosolids, ceramics, clay, fertilizers ...

Domaine(s)
  • Étuves et séchoirs (Cond. de l'air et chauffage)

CONT

Un séchoir rotatif comprend un cylindre conçu pour effectuer une rotation autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal, des éléments chauffants s'étendant longitudinalement le long de la surface interne du cylindre et servant à transporter un milieu chauffant, un raccordement rotatif à travers lequel le milieu chauffant est acheminé en direction et en provenance des éléments chauffants, des éléments servant à créer une atmosphère de vapeur à l'intérieur du séchoir et des éléments servant à empêcher ou à limiter sensiblement l'entrée d'air dans le séchoir.

OBS

Certaines céréales (maïs, blé tendre, orge, ...) ou oléoprotéagineux (colza, tournesol, pois, soja, ...) nécessitent un séchage pour ramener le taux d'humidité des grains récoltés à des niveaux compatibles avec leur bonne conservation.

A pulp stock cleaner in which pressurized slurry is tangentially injected into a truncated, cone-shaped vessel to produce a rapid spinning action of the suspension, causing a centrifugal force that moves the heavier particles to the outside wall where they drop down to the bottom and are removed. The inner vortex column with the acceptable fiber moves to the top where it is removed for further processing.

OBS

It is in shape a conical frustum, 10, 12. 25, 16 in or more across the top, 2-2. 5 in deep, the sides at an angle of 35-75° to the bottom. It should be light, with smooth inner surface, free from grease and rust. Polished steel and granite ware are the usual materials, though the latter is apt to chip. Uses :(a) to assay gold-bearing gravels in prospecting, and, less frequently, to make a rough assay of crushed vein material for gold;(b) to work gold-bearing gravel on a small scale;(c) to make gravity-concentration tests on heavy-metal ores.

Outil de lavage manuel des matériaux, constitué par une auge circulaire de quelques décimètres à fond de faible profondeur.

CONT

Un procédé ancien - celui des chercheurs d'or - consiste à entraîner les parties les plus légères par un courant d'eau (lévigation). Les parties lourdes sont alors recueillies dans un récipient large et peu profond appelé batée.

OBS

[Elle] est remuée à la main dans un mouvement circulaire accompagné de choc, et on rassemble, au fond, les minéraux les plus denses, comme les paillettes d'or; les fragments les plus légers s'éliminent par débordement.)
