Explosion vapeur. Lorsque deux fluides dont la température de l'un est supérieure à la température d’ébullition de l'autre entrent en contact, une interaction explosive est susceptible de se produire. Ce phénomène résulte de l'interaction instable de deux mécanismes :– le transfert d’énergie du fluide chaud vers le fluide froid via une fragmentation fine; – la pressurisation et la mise en mouvement relatif des deux fluides provoquant la fragmentation fine. 1, record 1, French, - fragmentation%20fine

Fragmentation des roches due à la cristallisation des sels en solution dans les pores et fissures des roches grenues, qui se trouvent ainsi soumises à une fine désagrégation granulaire.(Ce processus de fragmentation présente la plus grande efficacité le long des déserts littoraux brumeux ou en bordure des dépressions fermées de type sebkha des déserts chauds.) 2, record 2, French, - haloclastie

SAG mill; semi-autogenous grinding mill. A large rotating drum is filled with ore, water, and steel grinding balls. The result is a fine slurry. The mill is so named because the rock itself does some of the grinding. 1, record 3, English, - semi%2Dautogenous%20grinding%20mill

Les broyeurs semi-autogènes [...] sont semblables aux broyeurs à boulets avec un rapport L/D inférieur ou égal à 2. Les boulets sont remplacés par des morceaux de minerai préalablement calibrés. [...] On les utilise comme appareils de finissage, placés derrière un auto-broyeur intégral ou un broyeur à barres. La fragmentation est un peu plus fine que celle du même broyeur chargé de boulets d’acier. 4, record 3, French, - broyeur%20semi%2Dautog%C3%A8ne
