Gas-fired water heaters have a gas burner located below the tank, a thermostatic switch, a gas valve and a pilot light. The thermostat will open the gas valve when it senses the water temperature at the bottom of the tank has dropped below the present limit. Gas flows to the burner and is ignited by the pilot light, heating the tank from below. In addition, the hot exhaust gases are vented through a hollow core in the center of the tank to help heat the water. The exhaust is then passed into the draft hood and to the vent connector where it is discharged to a chimney flue. 3, record 2, English, - gas%20water%20heater

It provides guidance on possible hazards if a BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) takes place. Topics include: general information about pressure liquefied gases; the what, why and hows of BLEVEs; brief description of common safety devices; hazards from BLEVEs; response tactics; and sample problems. 2, record 3, English, - BLEVE%3A%20Response%20%26%20Prevention

Supercritical fluid technology is based on properties of compounds when they are placed under pressure and temperature conditions beyond their critical point. Supercritical fluids have a viscosity close to gases, a density close to liquids, and a high diffusivity. The state changes gaseous/supercritical and liquid/supercritical occur in a continuous way. Supercritical fluids have then a tunable solvent power: solubility of compounds in the fluid is correlated to pressure and temperature. Several supercritical fluids have been studied, including propane and water, but the most widely used is supercritical CO2. 2, record 4, English, - supercritical

Un fluide est dit supercritique lorsqu'il est placé dans des conditions de température et de pression au-delà de son point critique. Les fluides supercritiques ont une viscosité proche de celle des gaz, une densité proche de celle des liquides, et une diffusivité élevée. Les changements d’état gaz/fluide supercritique et liquide/fluide supercritique se font d’une manière continue. Ainsi, les fluides supercritiques ont un pouvoir solvant dit «à géométrie variable» : la solubilité des composés évolue avec les conditions de pression et de température du fluide. [...] De nombreux fluides supercritiques sont étudiés, en particulier l'eau et le propane, mais le plus communément utilisé reste le CO2. 3, record 4, French, - supercritique

The heart of the fluidized bed system is the reactor. The reactor is a refractory-lined steel shell with a bed of small inert particles, usually sand. Air is blown through the sand from the bottom which causes the bed to behave like a fluid. This fluid bed has an extremely high heat transfer rate which aids in combustion. Most of the combustion occurs in the fluid bed with the balance taking place in the vapour space above. Most fluid reactors add air only through the sand bed. 1, record 8, English, - sand%20bed
