    Diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration, to areas of low concentration. This happens without any outside force as it is a spontaneous process. The process is a result of the intrinsic thermal energy (heat) found in all molecules at temperatures above absolute zero. When the molecules become uniform throughout a space it is

    wind will blow from higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land. The strength of a sea breeze depends on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean. In the day, when the sun rises, the land heats up super fast and the air on top warms up much more than the air over the water. The air over the land is less dense and starts to rise and that’s when low pressure is created. The air over the water is higher with cold dense air. 2- Air pressure is not usually a constant

    systole and diastole is the pulse pressure. Systole is the contraction phase, while diastole is the relaxation phase. Systolic blood pressure is the highest pressure on the wall of the arteries. And the diastolic blood pressure is the lowest pressure, corresponding to when the ventricles are filled with blood during diastole. 4. For blood to flow, there must be a difference in pressure at both ends. Blood flows from an area of high to low pressure. The pressure difference is also created by the

    general information related to the main subject of this project which is a fogging system. How does the system work? The working principle of the fog cooling system can be summarized as this system utilizes very high pressure water about 1000 psi or 70 pars which occurred from a pump with high quality and delivery lines to create a very fine droplets size nearly 10 micron from specifically designed nozzles. Then, these fine droplets are quickly evaporated and absorbed the heat found in the air. In order

    CHAPTER – 3 METHODOLOGY This project work is gives the fundamental principles of duct system or air distribution system design for multi-story building. There are mainly three type of duct sizing method namely equal friction method, modified friction method (static regain method) and velocity reduction method. In present day the use of manual duct calculator is normal and computer aided duct design is becoming more popular. Also to learn the friction chart is very important to use this manual duct

Subsequently, the winds connected with the westerlies, as measured at the surface, regularly change greatly from every day and from place to place. "Westerlies are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes". They are nourished by polar easterlies and winds from the high-weight horse scopes, which trap them on either side. Westerlies are

    College Prof. Dale Pinson Introduction When we look at the world map with its established deserts, then we notice that all the big deserts are arranged (with little deviance) along two belts around the globe (Figure1). These two belts are in the areas of around 20-30 degrees of latitude north and south of the equator – the so-called Horse Latitudes. In the northern hemisphere we have the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in North America, the Sahara in North Africa, the Arabian Desert on the Arabian Peninsula
