English term

slug

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
[Sewage system] The transport proceeds in slugs as a result of difference in pressure in front of and behind this slug.During the transport through the piping system, the slug is affected by the gravity and will flatten out after a time. For this reason it is necessary to have low points in the piping system where the slug can form again, so that the pressure difference can be re-established.

descarga

No sé si este es el término exacto, pero creo que es la idea...

slug: A measured amount of liquid injected into a pipeline; a batch. (Babylon)

Justamente, el sistema de alcantarillado funciona en base a descargas de volúmenes de líquido que viajan a través de las tuberías, creando diferencias de presión antes y despúes del volumen de descarga que viaja.

Saludos,
