Membrane distillation (MD) is a separation process where a micro-porous hydrophobic membrane separates two aqueous solutions at different temperatures. ... The manner in which the vapour pressure difference is generated across the membrane is determined by the specific module configuration. In the most commonly used configuration, direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD), the permeate-side consists of a condensation liquid (often clean water) that is in direct contact with the membrane. 2, record 1, English, - direct%20contact%20membrane%20distillation

Plusieurs types de distillations membranaires existent, les différences concernent uniquement le côté du perméat et vont conditionner la force motrice de la séparation. [Pour la distillation membranaire à contact direct(DCMD), une] solution aqueuse plus froide que la solution d’alimentation est maintenu en contact direct avec la membrane côté perméat. Dans ce cas, la différence de température transmembranaire induit une différence de pression de vapeur. Par conséquent, les molécules volatiles s’évaporent à l'interface liquide/vapeur de l'alimentation et se recondensent à l'interface liquide/vapeur du perméat plus froid. 2, record 1, French, - distillation%20membranaire%20%C3%A0%20contact%20direct

In conventional vibration testing of space hardware, the acceleration input to the base of a test article is controlled to specifications that are typically derived from the article interface acceleration at higher level of assembly. This conventional approach to testing has been known for over 30 years to greatly overtest the test article at its own natural frequencies. In recent years, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory led the development and implementation of an improved method called force limited vibration (FLV) testing. In addition to controlling the input acceleration, the FLV testing measures and limits the reaction forces between the test article and the shaker. 1, record 4, English, - force%20limited%20vibration%20testing

Lors de tests vibratoires conventionnels de matériel spatial, l'accélération imposée à la base de l'unité mise à l'essai est contrôlée selon des spécifications habituellement tirées de l'accélération d’interface de l'unité à des niveaux avancés d’assemblage. Depuis maintenant 30 ans, cette approche conventionnelle de mise à l'essai du matériel est reconnue pour surtester les éléments à leurs propres fréquences naturelles. Au cours des dernières années, le JPL [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] de la NASA a été le chef de file dans le développement et la mise en œuvre d’une nouvelle méthode de test vibratoire où la force d’interface est aussi contrôlée(FLV pour Force Limited Vibration testing). En plus de contrôler l'accélération imposée, la méthode d’essai FLV mesure les forces exercées entre l'élément testé et le pot vibrant et limite ces dernières. 1, record 4, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20d%26rsquo%3Bessai%20FLV
