Abstract

This paper discusses and examines thermodynamics concepts and systems, particularly air conditioners. The principles upon which these systems are built, namely the first and the second thermodynamics laws are analyzed. Air conditioner performance and efficiency is also examined under the two laws. The second law of thermodynamics helps in determining the effectiveness of thermodynamics-based systems and is used in this paper to determine the efficiency of air conditioners. This paper finally makes recommendations based on calculations that determine the levels of efficiency of air conditioners.

Introduction

When the United States emerged from the Civil War, the divisions within its economy showed the reason why the South lost the conflict. Because of the industrialization that had taken place in the North in the first half of the nineteenth century, that side was able to develop materiel more quickly – and to get it to the men on the battlefields where they needed it with more rapidity. The South, on the other hand, was still mostly an agrarian society. While this agrarian dream would fire the imaginations of poets from Dixie well into the twentieth century, it also ...

Financial markets play an important function of channeling funds from agents who have saved money and are willing to lend it out to agents who need funds and are also willing to borrow. Financial market is defined by Brigham E.F & Ehrhadt, M.C. (2011) as what brings together people and organizations needing money with those having surplus funds. There are many financial markets in a developed economy or a geographic location. In contrast to physical (real or tangible) asset markets where products like machine parts, automobiles, real estate, computers and machinery are sold, the financial asset market on the other hand is ...

Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Since ...

Introduction

Pumps installed in fire engines either hoses out water from the fire tanker or suck water from a source such as fire hydrants, lakes, or pools. Different mechanisms control the pumping of water from a water source to the scene of the fire. Usually, a 6 inch suction pipe is used to extract water out of the water tank or an external water source. The water is then discharged out through exit lines or hoses with a certain force to eventually quench the fire.

The Impeller Pump

The main source that pumps water is the impeller water pump. This is a propeller type device that has curved ...

Introduction

A wide variety of everyday activities involuntarily applies fundamental laws of physics. While fishing, from casting to adding bait, physics is always at work. Even when fish latches on to the bait, it makes use of the water currents to its advantage to get away. Thus, pulling a fish in against the current requires a certain tension on the string to overcome the drag exerted by the fish, a particular tensile strength to ensure the string does not break, etc. The Laws of Motion, Newtonian Mechanics, etc. are continuously at work during fishing. This paper takes an intricate look at the physics ...

The movement from sites of waste-disposal of contaminated groundwater is a problem faced by many cities in world. Solid and liquid waste dumped in landfills generates an atmosphere where inorganic and organic compounds present in the water or which are produced in the landfill become prone of entering the hydrological regime through movement. The movement of contaminants in water bodies through landfills is more distinct in temperate and humid climates as penetration of rainfall is moderate to high, and separation of leachate from the aquifers which are underlying for extended time periods becomes a complex process. In such areas, landfills gets ...
