Tall building

Terrain characteristics affect the mechanical mixing of the air as it flows over the ground. Thus, the dispersion over a lake is different from the dispersion over a forest or a city of tall buildings. [Pg.2340]

In all warm-air design applications, consideration must be given to the effects of stratification in tall buildings. Stratification increases the roof and high-wall fabric losses and the air change rate by the stack effect, and hence the ventilation loss. These effects may increase the heat loss by 25% over that of a radiant heating system. [Pg.707]

A procedure is given to take account of tall buildings near to the stack or if the building to which the stack is attached is less than 2.5 U. The Memorandum suggests that 5 U should be used as a radius around the chimney as the definition of near , but in practice, interpretation and local knowledge may expand this circle. [Pg.757]

In the simplest case with one tall building near to the stack (wider than it is tall) the simple equation is... [Pg.757]

First, let s look at what current lasers and masers do. Lasers vary in size from single atoms, or submicroscopic size, to lasers as big as tall buildings. Well, the single atoms in small lasers produce fantastically small amounts of power - let s say, 10 16 watts. The big ones have produced as much as 10+16 watts - that is, ten million billion watts, more than we have from any other kind of source. Now, that lasts for a short time, because it would be too expensive to have it on all the time, of course. Nevertheless, it s very powerful, and that great power produces an intensity which allows us to study and to understand new states of matter with very high energy concentration. [Pg.3]

US. Financial snpports for fundamental research works are essentially important for further development of science and technology which can be applied to indns-tries. We shonld not see the development of science and technology of a conntry with short sights. Beautiful flowers will not bloom without manure, or a tall building can only be built on a sound and strong basis. [Pg.18]

I could see Vasco s smirk, because his face was illuminated by the lanterns of the sbirri behind me. Also by twilight, for, while he had a tall building on his right, there was a courtyard to his left, and the wall of that was barely more than head height. [Pg.117]

There is nothing to prevent the hrework manufacturers from using military-type propellants, of course, and this is exactly what the Russians are said to do when making rockets to reach astonishing heights in hrework displays above the tall buildings in Moscow. [Pg.58]

When air pollutants exit the smoke stack or exhaust pipe (called the sources), they are advected by winds and dispersed by turbulent diffusion. Winds blow from high pressure toward low pressure cells at speeds that depend on the pressure gradient. Because of the Coriolis force, wind trajectories are curvilinear in reference to fixed Earth coordinates, although within a relatively short (few to tens of km) distance, wind trajectories can be approximated as linear. Winds have a horizontal and vertical component. Over flat terrain the horizontal component predominates in mountainous and urban areas with tall buildings, the vertical component can be significant, as well at the land/sea interface. [Pg.156]

The disputed exam question was How is it possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer ... [Pg.196]

One researcher involved in this project likened this method to an elephant on top of a tall building The elephant must fly if the building suddenly turns into fine grains of sand. ... [Pg.57]

The famous cartoon character Superman has many super powers. Everybody knows that. He s the Man of Steel. He has X-ray vision. His hearing is so good, he can tune in on one voice in a crowded city. And, of course "He s faster than a speeding bullet More powerful than a locomotive Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound "... [Pg.296]

When you do decide to use direct quotations, don t merely drop them in your prose as if they had fallen from a tall building onto your page. [Pg.387]

Is it true that Superman could leap tall buildings, run faster than a locomotive, and that bullets would bounce off his skin ... [Pg.497]

Responses to animal allergens may not be restricted to the animals discussed above. A study in the United Arab Emirates detected responses to rat and mouse hair [226(111)]. Another study in Buenos Aires, Argentina, identified positive specific skin tests and IgE antibodies for bat faeces among patients living in tall buildings and old houses [227(IIb)]. [Pg.70]

If a project consists of multi-characteristics such as large structural systems, i.e., tall buildings, offshore structures, or complex projects such as a large construction operation or hazardous waste control facility, a single-domain system may not be used effectively. Therefore, a new multi-domain system (MDS) has been developed (8) as shown in Figure 8. [Pg.161]
