Heating and Cooling The first forms of geothermal heating started back in the first century A.D. when the Romans conquered Aquae Sulis and used the hot springs there to feed public baths and under floor heating. In1852‚ Lord Kelvin had already invented the heat pump. But the idea of drawing heat from the ground was not patented until 1912‚ by a man named Heinrich Zoelly. Still the geothermal heat pump was not successfully implemented until the late 1940’s. Geothermal heating and cooling takes advantage

In terms of heating and cooling‚ a BTU is the measure of heat emitted by fuel or eliminated through cooling. •CFM: This is an acronym for Cubic Feet per Minute‚ which is a measurement for airflow. •Compressor: The compressor is the core of a heat pump or air conditioning system. It regulates the pressure that

(CFCs) were the major cause of the recent abnormal warming. CFCs have created both unnatural atmospheric cooling and warming based on these facts: • CFCs have destroyed ozone in the lower stratosphere/upper troposphere causing these zones in the atmosphere to cool 1.37 oC from 1966 to 1998. This time span was selected to eliminate the effect of the natural solar irradiance (cooling-warming) cycle effect on the earth ’s temperature. • The loss of ozone allowed more UV light to pass

affected zone undergoes sudden heating followed by rapid cooling‚ thereby containing a series of microstructures. These microstructures within the heat affected zone are basically categorized into three different zones‚ namely the grain growth zone‚ grain refinement zone and transition zone. * * The fusion zone exists between the grain growth zones. The parent metal in this zone was heated to the melting point followed by cooling process. * The grain growth zone is right adjacent to

Earth goes through long periods of warming and cooling ages‚ it is completely normal for the Earth. It is the Earth’s recovery cycle.

The slow cooling off process allows the larger crystals to form. Extrusive igneous rocks have a fine grainy texture from the quicker cooling process that doesn’t allow time for crystals to grow. Intrusive igneous rocks with visible crystals all about the same size are referred to as a phanerictic texture while
