Altitude information is determined within an Air Data Computer (ADC) using the principles of the mechanical altimeter, with the resultant altitude transmitted to the DCU on an ARINC 429 data bus (see Section 3.5). The ADC is connected to the pitot-static system, with both the No. 1 ADC and Standby Instrument being fed by the port side system and the No. 2 ADC being connected to the starboard system. Each ADC is also connected to the onside Total Air Temperature (TAT) probe. 

In this case study, the ADC determines altitude by reading static air pressure from its own dedicated port and does not use any other air data for correction or comparison purposes (therefore the pitot air pressure and total air temperature have no bearing on barometric altitude reading). 

If you are now willing to make the assumption that the air flow is the same through the five coolers, we could calculate the process side flow through each cooler. For example, percent flow through A = 20°F/290°F = 7 percent. This calculation assumes that the percent of flow through the cooler is proportional to the air temperature rise through the cooler divided by the total air temperature rise through all five coolers. 

A more obvious energy loss is the heat to the stack flue gases. The sensible heat losses can be minimized by reduced total air flow, ie, low excess air operation. Flue gas losses are also minimized by lowering the discharge temperature via increased heat recovery in economizers, air preheaters, etc. When fuels containing sulfur are burned, the final exit flue gas temperature is usually not permitted to go below about 100°C because of severe problems relating to sulfuric acid corrosion. Special economizers having Teflon-coated tubes permit lower temperatures but are not commonly used. 

The gas turbine eontrol loop eontrols the Inlet Guide Vanes (IGV) and the Gas Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT). The TIT is defined as the temperature at the inlet of the first stage turbine nozzle. Presently, in 99% of the units, the inlet temperature is eontrolled by an algorithm, whieh relates the turbine exhaust temperature, or the turbine temperature after the gasifier turbine, the eompressor pressure ratio, the eompressor exit temperature, and the air mass flow to the turbine inlet temperature. New teehnologies are being developed to measure the TIT direetly by the use of pyrometers and other speeialized probes, whieh eould last in these harsh environments. The TIT is eontrolled by the fuel flow and the IGV, whieh eontrols the total air mass... 

We denoted the mass of dry air in a volume V as that is, p, - w,/Vj, and the mass of water vapor in V as m, that is, pp = mp/Yp. In practical calculations we usually handle volume flow volume flow is known in the suction inlet of a fan when the operating point of the fan is defined. Volume flow q, expressing the total air flow or the combined volume flow of water vapor and dry air, is not constant in various parts of the duct, because the pressure and temperature can vary. Therefore in technical calculations dealing with humid air, materia flows are treated as mass flows. Also, while the humidity can vary, the basic quantity is dry air mass flow w,(kg d.a./s). If, for instance, we know the volume flow q,. of a fan, the dry air mass flow through the fan is... 

In buildings away from outside perimeter walls, air and surface temperatures are usually approximately equal. The heat losses from a person by radiation (q ) and convection (q ) are then flowing to the same temperature level. In such uniform spaces, the radiant and convective losses are about equal and together account for about 80-90% of the total heat loss of a sedentary comfortable individual. In the presence of hot or cold surfaces, as may occur in perimeter or other locations in a building, the average surface temperature of the surroundings (called mean radiant temperature) as seen by the person s body may be substantially different from air temperature. If the mean radiant temperature (MRT) is greater or less than air temperature (T,) the person will feel warmer or colder than in a thermally uniform space where MRT =. ... 

Under certain conditions, such as hyperbaria,airway heat losses can account for a considerable percentage of total body heat production (in some cases > 100%). Normally these threats are ameliorated by rapid moderation of inspired air temperature and humidity by exchanging heat and water vapor between the mucus and airstream in the upper airway. Recovering much of the heat and water vapor contained in expired air minimizes heat and water losses to the ambient environment and aids in whole-body thermoregulation. 

Determine the air temperature that is necessary to maintain a volume of 1200 m- with six air changes per hour at 20 "C, if the total heat loss is 45 kW. 

The fan is tested at an air pressure of 102.9 kPa, temperature of 10 °C, and a rotational speed of 970 rev min T Under these conditions the volume flow is 0.7 m s S total pressure difference is 250 kPa, and shaft power is 250 kW. If the operating conditions change to handle an air temperature of 14 °C and pressure of 100 kPa and the efficiency remains unchanged, calculate under the new operating conditions the volume flow, total pressure difference, and shaft power. 

Normal recirculation in average installations for forced draft may run 3-10% of total inlet air, and 1-8% for induced draft towers, all depending upon the location and wind conditions during any day or season. Some towers can be arranged to have less than 1% recirculation. If conditions are suspected of being conductive to recirculation, it should definitely be allowed for in design of the tower. Recirculation increases the wet bulb temperature of entering air, increases the total air required (and hence size of...

Where it is available the source can be a separate boiler plant, but common practice is to employ purpose-made electrode boilers within or adjacent to the plant. The latter reduces sensible gains to the plant but, being essentially saturated steam, condensate return pipes are required. In addition to the rise in moisture content of the air (kg/kg) being dependent on airflow and steam-injection rates, there is a very small increase in dry bulb temperature by the cooling of the vapor to the air temperature. The rise in total heat is total heat of steam (kJ/kg) x quantity supplied per kg air.

Calculate the total zlS for evaporation of 1.0 g of water If the skin Is at 37.5 °C and air temperature Is 23.5 °C.

A laboratory hood has an opening 4 ft in length by 3 ft in height. The hood depth is 18 in. This hood will be used for an operation involving trichloroethylene (TCE) (TLV-TWA 50 ppm). The TCE will be used in liquid form at room temperature. Determine an appropriate control velocity for this hood, and calculate the total air flow rate. 

Under submerged conditions, temperatures in the soil and water depend on the depth of the water and on the density of the plant canopy, as well as on meteorological conditions. The water transmits incident short-wave radiation to the soil but it also insulates the soil against emission of long wave radiation. The full plant canopy transmits 90 % of the short-wave infrared radiation (i.e. half the total short-wave). Hence there is a greenhouse effect and consequently the soil and water temperatures tend to be higher than the air temperature. Evaporative cooling reduces the surface water temperature and drives convection currents, so the water tends to be well mixed. 

In the shear layer region, sufficient air is available for complete combustion, and this region is associated with the highest temperatures. In case 2, the total air is kept the same (at 8.8 scfm) as in case 1, but now primary air is introduced at the expense of the secondary air. Except for the region in the near vicinity of the nozzle, the highest temperatures are now obtained in the middle of the conical preburner. This is presumably associated with the greater availability of air in the midregions in this case. 

In case 3, the total air is greater than in cases 1 and 2, and therefore this condition is more fuel lean than the other two cases. The temperature levels are noted to be lower than case 2 but higher than case 1. In comparing the evolution... 

In addition, there is an obseived correlation between total column ozone and the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical troposphere, with decreases in total ozone in middle and sometimes polar latitudes following the ENSO by several months the period associated with the ENSO is 43 months (Zerefos et al., 1992). While the association between the ENSO and ozone is not well understood, it has been proposed that the warming of the troposphere in the tropics over the Pacific Ocean causes increases in the upper troposphere air temperatures and tropopause height and an upwelling in the lower stratosphere. If sufficiently large, this could have more widespread impact than just in the tropics (e.g., see Zerefos et al., 1992 and Kalicharran et al., 1993).
