Record 1 2012-03-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mining of Organic Materials
  • Solid Fossil Fuels
DEF

A compression of the walls of a vein or the roof and floor of a coal seam ...

CONT

If one hits a fault, a pinch-out, or a dirt bed during coal-drawing, this would probably not only reduce the output, but could even cause a water inrush.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Exploitation de matières organiques (Mines)
  • Combustibles fossiles solides
DEF

Extrémité d'une veine de charbon ou de minerai allant en s'amincissant.

OBS

[Cette extrémité de filon est devenue] trop mince pour être exploitée économiquement.

Spanish

Record 2 2011-01-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Paddle Sports
DEF

A circling inrush of water to fill the central maw of a spiralling vortex, often whith complete disappearance to a lower level through a subsurface channel, pothole, or sink.

CONT

The ultimate bank eddy, with strong circular motion, becomes a whirlpool.

CONT

Whirlpools are caused by the shearing action of the current on the eddy water. They almost always occur on eddylines. Whirlpools on a river-right eddyline flow in a counter clockwise direction; river-left whirlpools circle clockwise.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Sports de pagaie
DEF

Mouvement d'eau en rotation verticale et en dépression qui a tendance à aspirer l'embarcation.

CONT

Lorsque les masses d'eau en contact sont suffisamment importantes, il peut se former des marmites [...] Ce sont des tourbillons où l'eau est aspirée vers le fond dans un mouvement hélicoïdal.

CONT

Les chaudières, surtout sur les rivières à gros débit, provoquent à la limite une légère déviation dans la trajectoire du bateau, mais n'ont certes pas la force d'aspirer une embarcation.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
  • Deportes de remo
DEF

Torbellino, rápido movimiento de giración del [...] agua.

Record 4 2001-08-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electromagnetism
DEF

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électromagnétisme

Record 5 2000-06-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Measurements of Electricity
DEF

A rating applied to inductive loads(usually a solenoid or coil) with a maximum power factor of 35 percent. Allowable inrush can be up to 10 times the pilot duty rating(running current).

CONT

Engineering data. Supply voltage : 120 Vac(+10%/-15%) 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum total load : 2000 VA. Load rating-fuel valve output : 65 VA pilot duty plus 1150 VA inrush, 460 VA opening, 250 VA holding. Operating temperature limits :-40 to 140 °F. Maximum ambient humidity : 85% non-condensing. CB-780 Flame Safeguard Control.

Record 6 2000-04-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gas and Oil Heating
DEF

A timed interval starting with the proof of the pilot and ending with the opening of the main fuel valve(s). This period permits the pilot to establish itself before permitting the inrush of main fuel.

Record 7 1997-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Blasting Work (Mining)
CONT

During an explosion of methane and oxygen, carbon dioxide and steam are formed. When the steam condenses to water a partial vacuum is created which causes an inrush or what is known as an afterblast.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Travail aux explosifs (Exploitation minière)
OBS

Après l'abattage avec explosifs.
