...The University of Calgary Faculty of Engineering ENME 485 Mechanical Engineering Thermodynamics Laboratory Experiment 1: Refrigeration and Mechanical Heat Pump Experiment Objectives: i) To demonstrate the principles of a refrigeration cycle (Chapter 10 of Cengel and Boles). ii) To demonstrate the principles of a heat pump (Chapter 10 of Cengel and Boles). Introduction: It has been estimated that at least 85% of the refrigeration processes in use today are powered by vapor compression systems. The applications embrace many varied disciplines including catering, public health, architecture, food storage, transport and food processing. An improved understanding of refrigerating techniques is demanded of engineers, particularly in the fields of building services and environmental control. The purpose of the experiment is to demonstrate the basic principles of refrigeration, i.e. how heat can be transferred from a cooler object to a hotter object. The mechanical heat pump unit, shown in Fig. 1 (a), consists of a standard compressor-condenser unit, a watt meter, and controls and instrumentation including flow meters, thermocouples and pressure gauges. Figure 1 (a): Picture of Mechanical Heat Pump The Mechanical Heat Pump was designed solely for educational purposes and yields data in a quantitative and qualitative form in a manner easily understood by the student regardless of their level of interest in the subject.

To examine the effect of unsteady conditions on measurement accuracy. 1 Lab Worksheet Theory Saturation temperature is known as the boiling point of water. It is the temperature for a corresponding saturation pressure at which a liquid boils into its vapor phase. The liquid can be said to be saturated with thermal energy. For water, it is common knowledge that it boils at 100 °C and froze at 0 °C. However, this is only true if the water is at a pressure of 1 atm (100kN/m2). Decrease in the water pressure causes the boiling point to declines and vice versa. The relationship between pressure and temperature of boiling water can be plotted on a...

...The coffee thermos Her intoxication, and that she always dragged on that coffee thermos disgusted me. The coffee thermos was probably all she had. I was embarrassed that I was the one who at her birthday had given her it. Spasmodically she kept hold of it: as it was the coffee thermos that now gave her the little balance she could still practice. At first glance she did not recognize me, but then came the memory of my face back and she stumbled forward, straight into my arms. " Are you here, are you taking care of me again. How did you know I was here and enjoying myself. " " You slurs, I can’t hear what you are trying to say." I took her by the arm and led her away from the central streets and its bright illumination, away from the light into the darkness. Only when the town began to disappear, she noticed that we were not going home to her, suddenly she became aware that my gripe around her arm stiffened. "Get off me! What are you doing?!" Desperately, she tried to break free. Her sudden fear triggered me, her betrayal made me angry and pissed off. I felt a great anger, a cracked heat flow through my body. I threw down her tender body on the ground. The grass was wet. It was slippery. I stood straight up and watched as she tried to get up. She couldn’t manage it. She laughed nervously. "Help me up, I'm totally wasted." She pulled back her hair, she didn’t look at me. With hands behind my stretched straight back, I started to objectively go in circles around her...

...The debate between the applications of thermotherapy (hot) versus cryotherapy (cold) in the treatment of patients in the acute inflammatory phase following injury continues to wage on in the realm of professional healthcare and rehabilitation. For many athletic trainers, whether to use heat or cold therapy is often a personal choice, although cold therapy seems to be more effective for acute pain (Itoh & Lee, 2007). However, for many patients/clients concerned with the effectiveness of a specific treatment coupled with the rate of recovery, hard evidence derived from reliable and consistent research in support of one modality as the most effective, is in high demand. While both hot and cold treatments may be used to alleviate pain and inflammation, the various physical and chemical aspects of these two treatments have vitally different effects on the human body in regards to treatment of inflammation (Itoh & Lee, 2007). In general, temperature alterations have four main effects on surface body tissues, including pain relief (analgesia), muscle relaxation, blood vessel alterations, and connective tissue effects (Wnorowski, 2011). When treating a patient, it is important to know both the effects of the medium or modality being used on the body, as well as the consequences that it will bring to bear in relation to the physiological effects the body is already experiencing due to the mechanism of injury. The inflammatory response is divided into acute inflammation, which...

...Relationships come and go, but the associations that come along with them can be significant of something bigger. In Yukio Mishima's Thermos Bottles, a Japanese businessman has an extended stay in San Francisco away from his family in which he runs into an old lover. In the story, Mishima symbolically displays the extinction of Imperial Japan through his characters' mannerisms and subtle aspects of it. The symbol of the samurai and geisha within Kawase's relationships with Kimiko and Asaka embody Mishima's concept of artificiality in the Japanese domestic scene. Kawase and Kimiko had a traditional and dominance-based relationship in their marriage. They lived customary lives in which Kimiko was loyal and dependent of her husband. Though in his absence, infidelity caused a rift between the two sides of the family. Kawase disregarded his family's "loneliness" (56) the night in San Francisco where Asaka "stayed the night" (54). Kawase and Kimiko have a relationship in which their roles are similar to those of a samurai and geisha. Although they are married, Kawase only gives so much concern for his wife while staying in San Francisco. Instead of returning home to her, he put it off to spend time with a woman whom he had an affair with. The samurai, similar to Kawase, did not fully commit to a geisha as she was used for pleasure or entertainment. Kimiko likewise respected and highly regarded her husband as would a geisha to a samurai. The two's extramarital affairs exemplify the...

...Automated Swell Index Measurements of Films Using THERMO MECHANICAL ANALYZER (TMA) SWAYAJITH SAHADEVAN swayajith@gmail.com Abstract Dimensional instability on finished plastics products due to changes in humidity is one of the leading causes of product failure. The test lead times associated with measuring changes in dimensions due to humidity changes are prohibitively longer & lot of machine time is consumed in the process. This can become a limiting scenario wherein multiple materials are scaled up for measurements or multiple formulation variables are being analyzed. In this paper, we propose to use the “Swell Index” as the prime factor to be used for evaluating the changes in dimensions. Swell Index of a material is defined as the ratio of difference in dimension to the original dimension as a function of temperature or humidity and is expressed as percent swell index (temperature) or percent swell index (Humidity) respectively. Swell Index is measured using TMA by measuring the dimensional changes as a function of time while cycling the environment of the test sample between dry Nitrogen (~0% RH) and wet nitrogen (100% RH). This analysis can be accomplished using few grams of samples without manual intervention, thereby leading to significant reduction in test lead times. Key words: -Thermo Mechanical Analysis, Swell Index, Dimensional stability Principle When hygroscopic polymeric materials experience humidity, the dimension of the material changes .The dimension...

...I am amused when I read popular press articles that tout hydrogen-powered vehicles as among the solutions for non-polluting transportation in the future. It is true that lots of energy is released when hydrogen combines with abundant, free atmospheric oxygen, and that the only sidestream output is water vapor. Unfortunately there's no place to get free hydrogen for free. This is maddening, because a virtually inexhaustible supply of the stuff is right out there in plain sight of everybody, and has been since before our ancestors wiggled out of the oceans. Too bad it's 93 million miles away. Here on earth, there are vast stores of hydrogen in plain sight too -- in the oceans, lakes, rivers and clouds. Too bad it's already combined with oxygen and other elements. Elemental hydrogen is actually rather easy to obtain. Electrolysis of water splits apart the hydrogen and oxygen, which can be collected and stored. And it is pretty easy also to strip elemental hydrogen off of hydrocarbons, for example natural gas, which is mostly methane (CH4). The trouble is that electrolysis of water requires an electricity source. Taking that electricity through the electrolysis - free hydrogen - oxidation - water vapor loop wastes quite a bit of energy. And it's way more efficient simply to burn the hydrocarbons to release their potential energy than it is to go through the hydrogen loop there. If we could send tankers to the sun and back for free, hydrogen power would answer all our...

Then they will be able to judge whether the merger process brought any good for the companies or the people who are related to the companies or not. Before goring in through discussion, let’s see what is actually a merger? (Sherman & Hart, 2006) Merger is a process which adds two or more similar corporate companies or organizations together. This can happen in quite a few ways. First of all, two companies with similar expansion may come to an agreement and start a whole new combined company. This kind of merger is not seen a lot in the recent times. There is another kind of merger. That is, a bigger company can simply buy a similar smaller company. This is mainly a common type of merger.
