Crawfish is extremely common throughout the southern part of the US. Among other southern states, Louisiana is the largest producer and is thought to have had crawfish culture since the 18th century. It is reported that commercial harvests have averaged 17 million pounds of crawfish per year with a high of 50 million pounds in …
SUMMARY Due to fossil fuels limited availability along with its environmental concerns, the production of biodiesel, a renewable source of energy, has increased exponentially in the last few years. This growth in biodiesel has also facilitated an excess production of glycerol which is generated as a byproduct during the formation of biodiesel. Because of a …
The size of the duct is critical for a proper operation of a mechanical system. The smaller duct sizes create significant noise and increase pressure loss within the system. At the same time, the larger ducts increase the cost of the design. This calculator is based on Colbrook Equation. The details on the derivation of …
In this way, the refrigerant process repeats, and the indoor unit supplies required cool air during the summer conditions. The process and cycle for heating and cooling are exactly similar, the only difference is that the indoor units act as an evaporator during summer and as a condenser during winter. How does this occur? The …

Based on the information from climate.gov, the temperature of the Earth has been rising by 0.32°F per decade since 1981. However, the thermal comfort temperature for human occupancy has been the same, ranging between approximately 67 to 82°F (ASHRAE Standards). The ever-increasing temperature of the earth and the need for a comfortable environment has raised …
SUMMARY: The figure below summarizes the major components of the heat pump system and their respective functions within the system. INTRODUCTION A heat pump is a mechanical system that can provide both cooling and heating within a single entity. Unlike an air conditioner, a heat pump can provide heating in winter conditions. The heat pump …
SUMMARY A heat pump is a mechanical system that can provide both cooling and heating within a single entity. It is critical to understand the individual working components of the heat pump before discussing the overall operation. The introduction to the major components of a heat pump system and their respective function is explained here. …
