The Psychometric diagram demonstrates graphically the parameters identifying with water dampness in air. This application note depicts the reason and utilization of the psychometric graph as it influences the HVAC architect or professional. Air includes more or less 78% nitrogen‚ 21% oxygen‚ and 1% different gasses. At the same time air is never dry‚ even in a desert. Two-thirds of the world’s surface is secured with water and this‚ alongside other surface water and downpour‚ keep up low weight

they are caused but they both cause destruction and death resulting from diseases and destruction of buildings. Let’s examine what causes these calamities and how to remain safe when they occur. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters near the equator. They are formed when moist air over the ocean rises upward causing an area of lower air pressure below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes in to fill the gap. This whole process of rushing air causes hurricanes. In contrast

“Solar Radiation and its Effects on Planet Earth” The Sun emits a tremendous amount of energy‚ in the form of electromagnetic radiation‚ into space. If we could somehow build a gigantic ball around the Sun that completely enclosed it‚ and lined that ball with perfectly efficient photovoltaic solar panels‚ we could capture all of that energy and convert it to electricity and be set in terms of Earth ’s energy needs for a very long time. Lacking such a fanciful sphere‚ most of the Sun ’s energy

warm water and heat to Polar Regions. It also transports volumes of cold‚ salty water from the North Atlantic back to the equator where it gets heated up again. If this process were to be interrupted‚ the disrupted flow of the thermohaline current would dramatically alter regional and even global patterns of heat transfer because when the water in stops moving‚ the equator will become hot leaving the Polar Regions cold. What is it doing? What drives this current and how does it work? The thermohaline

If the earth was at an axial tilt of 0° there would be absolutely no seasonal change‚ the temperature would remain even at all times of the year. The temperature around the equator (0°latitude) would be about 40°C or 104°F‚ and the 80°N latitude would be at about -35°C or -31°F; with the temperatures remaining this way all year round and no seasonality migration and aggregation of the poles would be mythical; also would be too cold for reproduction hence no “annual flush of productivity.” In the

Longitude is used to measure the distance of areas on the world east‚ or west. Think of it like the equator‚ where the equator separates the southern and northern hemispheres. The Greenwich Meridian separates the east and west hemispheres. According to Time and date.com (2010)‚ “GMT was first adopted as the world’s time standard at the Washington Meridian Conference

If someone dislikes cold weather‚ he or she may have a hard time vacationing in the mountains. You will see many people in multiple layers of clothing. On the other hand‚ the beach offers a warm climate. The temperature at a beach is always hot‚ due mostly to its location near the equator. You will see many bikinis and lots of naked skin.
