    Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality

    Hi all I want to know ventilation required for an ICU , the following screenshot is from the ASHRAE standard . Why is the cfm/ft2 column empty ? does this mean that its designed only on number of people ?

    What are months an air conditioning cooling system should work

    Hi all , I have assembeled an air conditioning system on software and I want to determine the days where the system should work . The air conditioning is system is used only for cooling (no heating) . For that case , what is the default time for system to run used by hvac designers ?

    psychrometric chart question

    Hi all , Knowing that wetbulb temperature and enthalpy lines are not identical (only approximated on chart) . I have a point of known wetness (kg/kg) and known dry bulb temperature and I want to know it's exact enthalpy . Then indentify the point that has the same enthalpy with an RH% of 100% ...

    Characterization and Manufacture of Bevel gear

    I understand that this job needs someone experienced to handle it .The old gears have been sent to a specialized workshop to make identical copies .Financial resources are very limited where I work.What I'm asking about is the methodology and measurements I would take either to accept the...

    Characterization and Manufacture of Bevel gear

    Hi all , I have bevel gear that works on ring gear (pinion and ring) simillar to the one in the following picture : I want to charachterize the small bevel gear (pinion) to give the measurements to a workshop to manufacture copies for this gear or buy it. Also I'd like to take an idea about...

    Bulk modulus of compressibility

    Well that should be a basic question but for me it needs some clarification . for the bulk modulus of compressibility : K = - dP / (dV/V) why does K = 0 for compressible fluids ?? ,,,, I think of it like if we compress gas ie:decrease a certain masses volume (compressible fluid) its pressure...

    Minitab experiment question

    I'd like to clarify more what I want to do : - All main factors were as I mentioned before 13 - 5 = 8 , and the number of two factor interactions of interest are 11 . The rest of 2 factors interactions and all 3 factor interactions and above are negligible . - My concern is to follow the same...

    Minitab experiment question

    Thank you greg , I'm trying to figure out how to do this with matlab know (it might be a bit complex since I'm not a major in statistics). This step has already been done , they were even more and got down to 13

    Minitab experiment question

    Hi , What if I want to conduct a fractional factorial 2^13-5 experiment with minitab , I mean its a 2^13 and i want to make it a fractional factorial of V resolution so it will be 2^13-5 = 2^8 ,,,, can this ever be done with minitab ? can you recommend another software name that can do such...

    determining suction and delivery lines of centrifuagal pump

    Well I don't have a picture its an engineering job interview question (orally) are you sure ? I thought that was for the compressor only. The only thing I can think about now is that the discharge might have a check valve while suction not . Maybe the discharge might have a flow control valve...

    DOAS systems

    no it isnt homework and not explained in class yup its an ASHRAE paper talking about the design steps of DOAS system coupled with a CRCP . So what does it physically resemble ? And what do you suggest I shall substitute for Cp with ? If putting Cp = 1.02 KJ/Kg then whats the point of Cp in...

    DOAS systems

    for the following doas : In the process of design I need to substitute in the following equation linking enthalpy wheel sensible and latent effectiveness with t and w as follows : The question is : what is meant by capacitance flow rate and minimum pass flow rate ?
