Theoretically there is an optimum bore diameter which is a function of the flow resistance within the bore itself, the flow resistance within the permeable formation from which the bore is fed with fluid, the cost of the bore, the probable success ratio is winning productive wells and the value attached to the geothermal fluid(s) when won. 1, record 3, English, - optimum%20bore%20diameter

The quality of a rolling bearing is a complex concept combining material, manufacturing tolerances, life, load rating, friction, temperature sensitivity aspects, etc. Noise level is one factor which in certain cases is of prime importance. This is particularly true where small, deep groove ball bearings having bore diameters (...) 30 mm [or less] are installed in the electric motors of various types of domestic appliances and oil burners for central heating. 1, record 4, English, - bore%20diameter

La qualité d'un roulement est une notion complexe. Elle englobe matière, tolérances de fabrication, durée, capacité de charge, frottement, sensibilité à la température, etc. Un facteur qui prend une importance considérable dans certains cas est le niveau de bruit. Il s'agit en particulier des petits roulements rigides à billes d'un diamètre d'alésage inférieur ou égal à 30 mm, montés dans les moteurs électriques des appareils électro-ménagers et des brûleurs à mazout. 1, record 4, French, - diam%C3%A8tre%20d%27alisage
