HIGH PERFORMANCE COMMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
... The building form also determines the air flow pattern around the building directly affecting its ventilation. The compactness of the building is measured using the ratio of surface area to volume (S/V). The depth of a building also determines the requirement for artificial lighting. The greater the ...

Experiment 1
... Each group will work with one fine gauge and one coarse-gauge thermocouple. The fine gauge thermocouple will be either 30, 36, or 40 gauge. Students will be offered the option of welding their own fine gauge thermocouples (likely 30 gauge) or selecting one that is prefabricated. For the coarse gauge ...

... This requirement by Carnot is equivalent to requiring reversible processes only. Carnot declares [4, p 13]: Every change of temperature which is not due to a change of volume or to chemical action (an action that we provisionally suppose not to occur here) is necessarily due to the direct passage of ...

Heat wave
A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot weather, which may be accompanied by high humidity, especially in oceanic climate countries. While definitions vary, a heat wave is measured relative to the usual weather in the area and relative to normal temperatures for the season. Temperatures that people from a hotter climate consider normal can be termed a heat wave in a cooler area if they are outside the normal climate pattern for that area.The term is applied both to routine weather variations and to extraordinary spells of heat which may occur only once a century. Severe heat waves have caused catastrophic crop failures, thousands of deaths from hyperthermia, and widespread power outages due to increased use of air conditioning. A heat wave is considered extreme weather, and a danger because heat and sunlight may overheat the human body.
