INSIDE DESIGN CONDITIONS [3 records]

Record 1 2017-04-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Nuclear Fission Reactors
  • Pumps
DEF

A pump in which an accelerating jet entrains a second fluid to deliver it at elevated pressure.

CONT

Unique to the BWR is the application of jet pumps inside the reactor vessel. The jet pumps deliver their driving force from the external recirculation pumps and generate about two-thirds of the recirculation flow within the reactor vessel. The jet pumps also contribute to the inherent safety of the BWR design under loss-of-coolant emergency conditions because they continue to provide internal circulation with one or both external recirculation loops out of service.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
  • Pompes
DEF

Pompe qui aspire l'eau à la sortie du cœur et la renvoie à l'entrée pour assurer la stabilité de marche du réacteur.

CONT

Le sodium intermédiaire réchauffé dans les échangeurs intégrés placés dans le cœur est mis en mouvement par quatre pompes secondaires installées dans l'enceinte.

Record 2 2007-12-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
OBS

Alenia Aeronautica and Targetti have realized a simulator which is able to reproduce the lighting conditions present when flying at an altitude of 10000 meters, inside a real airplane.... In fact, being able to realistically reproduce natural light opens the way to potentially infinite applications : from the assessment of architectural models to studying the lighting "behavior" of materials and surfaces, to various design requirements, including aircraft instrumentation legibility tests at high quotas, which has been the particular focus of the work carried out by Alenia and Targetti. According to international regulations, aeronautical instrumentation displays, especially those of military aircraft with transparent cockpits, must be approved by tests which involve actually flying the airplane in order to assess performance in real lighting conditions. The costs and risks are obvious as is the value of creating a system which can recreate the light conditions of an aircraft in flight while it is still on the ground.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
CONT

Ce «Sky Light Simulator» n'est pas le premier simulateur de lumière ambiante, mais c'est le plus grand jamais construit. Sa taille (un dôme de 12 m de diamètre) permet d'héberger l'avant d'un avion pour vérifier la lisibilité des affichages de cockpit dans des conditions d'éclairage les plus variées, allant de la nuit sans lune au plein soleil. Sa porte d'accès de 9,6 m de largeur pour 5,5 m de hauteur permet de faire entrer des avions de la taille d'un C-130 ou d'un Boeing 737.

PHR

Répétabilité, traçabilité des conditions d'essai du simulateur de lumière ambiante.

Record 3 1986-07-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
CONT

Indoor design conditions. The indoor conditions to be maintained within a building are the dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity of the air at the breathing line ... in an area ... which is not affected by ... unusual heat gains or losses ...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Il est (...) assez difficile de définir des conditions intérieure de base permettant de satisfaire dans les meilleures conditions de confort tous les occupants d'un local.
