91 HÖLL
* * *(-s, -ar), m. = hváll.* * *f., gen. hallar, often spelt hall without umlaut, Fb. i. 212, 1. 26, Fas. iii. 42, 87, Fms. viii. 191, v. l.; as also rhymed so in poets, e. g. Geisli 11; [A. S. heal, gen. healle; Engl. hall; Hel. halla; but not found in old and mid. H. G., the mod. Germ. halle being a borrowed word, Grimm’s Gr. iii. 427]:—a hall, but in the Norse only of a king’s or earl’s hall, whereas a private dwelling is called skáli, eldhús, q. v.; and thus ‘hall’ never could be used of an Icel. dwelling. In earlier times it seems to have had a more general sense, which remains in a verse of Kormak, Korm. 42:—in the mythology and old poems ‘hall’ is also used of the hall of gods, giants, Vþm., Hým., Lv.; Val-höll, Valhalla, the hall of the slain, of Odin, Gm., Edda: as also Guðs höll, God’s hall = the heaven, Geisli; dags höll, days’ hall, the sky; höll fjalla, mountain hall, the sky; lífs höll, life’s hall, the breast, Lex. Poët.:—in prose constantly, konungs-höll, a king’s hall, or hall simply, passim. For the building, structure, seats of a hall, see the Sagas passim, Fagrsk. ch. 219, 220, Hrólfs S. Kr. ch. 34, 40, Jómsv. S. ch. 5, 22, Völs. S. ch. 3, Hálfs S. ch. 12, Eg. S. ch. 8, Edda 2, 30–33, 82. As all heathen Scandinavian buildings were of timber, the hall of stone of Nj. ch. 6 is no doubt an anachronism.COMPDS: hallar-búnaðr, -búningr, m. the hangings of a hall, Fms. x. 235, xi. 16. hallar-dyrr, n. pl. hall-doors, Edda 2, Fas. i. 15, Al. 70. hallar-gólf, n. a hall-floor, Edda 31, Fms. iii. 188, vii. 157, Fas. i. 284. hallar-veggr, m. the wall of a hall, Fms. iv. 189, Sks. 709: Höll, name of an Icel. farm, Skáld H., whence Hallar-Steinn, a pr. name. -

Обеспечивать (корреляцию)-- It is noted that Keff does an excellent job of correlating the data over the range 0 < R < 0.5. Обеспечивать (возбуждение)-- Terminals 5 and 6 furnish excitation to the field of the drive motor from a DC power supply. обеспечивать - to provide, to provide for, to allow, to allow for, to afford, to offer, to give, to yield, to furnish, to assureThis arrangement allows thrust loading of the test bearing with a pair of hydraulic actuators.The use of extended surface in the air passages allows for more compact and lighter weight cores.The segmented design provided for control of the chordwise thermal boundary condition at the heat transfer test surface.A limit can then be imposed on some combination of these values that furnishes a safe design life for the structure.At the highest test temperatures only nickel-base alloys afforded high performance characteristics.These tracks assure precise transducer location without need for difficult pipe measurement.Русско-английский научно-технический словарь переводчика > обеспечивать

Снижение (к.п.д.)-- Blade tip losses represent a major efficiency penalty in a turbine rotor. Снижение - reduction; drop (падение); sacrificing (нежелательное); modifying, relaxing, abatement (с целью ослабления чего-либо); penalty (экономически невыгодное); saving (экономически выгодное)While a substantial stress relief occurs in the first cycle, further reductions do occur continuously as cycling progresses.It is hoped that the information presented above will prove useful to those who try to design more efficient rotating machinery without sacrificing reliability.A common method of modifying residual stresses in practice is to apply a single overload to the structure.Русско-английский научно-технический словарь переводчика > снижение
