A two-dimensional numerical model for natural convection in a vertical, rectangular window cavity
© 1994 ASHRAE (www.ashrae.org). Published in ASHRAE Transactions 1994, Vol. 100, Part 2. For personal use only. Additional reproduction, distribution, or transmission in either print or digital form is not permitted without ASHRAE`s prior written permissionIt is common for sealed glazing units to exhibit condensation problems when operated in cold climates. Condensation often forms along the perimeter of the exposed surface of the indoor glazing because of the thermal short circuit caused by the edge seal. Furthermore, condensation most readily forms along the bottom edge of the indoor glazing because of the combined effects of edge seal conduction and fill gas convection. A simple two-dimensional numerical control volume formulation is presented that can be used to model the natural convection of gas within a vertical, rectangular cavity. Details of a unique perturbation scheme used to generate secondary cells are also presented This model closely reproduces the average Nusselt number results of more complex numerical models. Average and local Nusselt numbers have also been compared with experimental results and close agreement has been demonstrated for conditions typical of window cavities.Energy efficiency technology division || CANMET || Department of Energy || Mines and Resources Canada || Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canad
STOMP: STudents Organized to Motivate for Phitness
This is a semester-long experience for undergraduate Physical Education – Teacher Education (PETE) majors that begins by setting a learning context through the creation of lesson plans for preschool fitness instruction, applying the lessons in a real-life context, and the development of informational newsletters for the preschoolers’ parents and teachers. The experience includes information literacy instruction, research into a variety of resources to generate appropriate movement activities for preschoolers, and synthesizing information to share with others. This experience includes visits to the IUPUI Center for Young Children during which the PETE majors demonstrate proficiency with the real world application of their knowledge products.Library Fund of the Indianapolis Foundatio
From Elemental process studies to ecosystem models in the ocean biological pump
The biological pump controls the transport of particles from the ocean surface to the deep sea. Vertical fluxes govern chemical gradients, playing a fundamental role in the carbon dioxide (CO2) ocean-atmosphere feedback, driving physicochemical properties of seawater, and providing resources for benthic ecosystems. Particles vary in size and composition, originating in every trophic level as detritus, fecal material, biogenic carbonates or the organisms biomass. A recent concern is that the concomitant increase in anthropogenic CO2 and temperature, may alter carbon fluxes and atmospheric feedbacks, as well as ecosystem shifts driven by organisms’ physiological and biogeochemical responses. This dissertation focused on poorly characterised biological pump compartments and processes that are central to assess potential implications of future climate scenarios
Documentation of the GLAS fourth order general circulation model. Volume 2: Scalar code
Volume 2, of a 3 volume technical memoranda contains a detailed documentation of the GLAS fourth order general circulation model. Volume 2 contains the CYBER 205 scalar and vector codes of the model, list of variables, and cross references. A variable name dictionary for the scalar code, and code listings are outlined
LGBTQIA-R: Creating a Diverse and Inclusive Medical Collection at a Public Metropolitan University
Information about the LGBTQIA population is difficult to collect because of the sensitive nature of the topic of sexual preference and gender identity. This paper examines our weeding project and collection development efforts to provide health care information for the LGBTQIA community at a Midwestern metropolitan university. The findings conclude that our collection was not providing sufficient, up-to-date health information for the personal and professional information needs of our patrons in the R-RZ Library of Congress range. The weeding process, strategies for working with department faculty, and the implications for an intersectional medical collection are discussed
Impacts of operating conditions on specific cake resistance in dead-end microfiltration process
In the present work, the fouling behavior and the corresponding specific cake resistance of polyethersulfone microfiltration membrane fouled by using different solutions (bovine serum albumin solution, sodium alginate solution, humic acid and activated sludge suspension) under different operating conditions, transmembrane pressure (TMP), concentration (C), stirred speed (ω) and temperature (T) were systematically investigated. The ensuing results showed that the proposed equation can be used to accurately calculate instantaneous specific cake resistance (α). The average specific cake resistance increased with increasing operating pressure, concentration, and stirred speed, while it decreased with increasing operating temperature. The average specific cake resistance of sodium alginate (SA) was larger and the sequence was SA>HA>BSA>AS
