  2. Water heat recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heat_recycling

    Installation of a double-walled copper-on-copper heat exchanger in a vertical section of the master drain line in a Canadian home (2007) Water heat recycling (also known as drain water heat recovery, waste water heat recovery, greywater heat recovery, [citation needed] or sometimes shower water heat recovery [citation needed]) is the use of a heat exchanger to recover energy and reuse heat ...

  3. NTU method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTU_Method

    Here, is the molecular weight of water (vapor), is the average molecular weight of air, is the partial pressure of air (not including the partial pressure of water vapor in an air mixture) and can be approximated by knowing the partial pressure of water vapor at the inlet, before dehumidification occurs, ,. From here, all of the previously ...

  4. Permeability (foundry sand) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeability_(foundry_sand)

    The grain size, shape and distribution of the foundry sand, the type and quantity of bonding materials, the density to which the sand is rammed, and the percentage of moisture used for tempering the sand are important factors in regulating the degree of permeability. [1]

  5. Drainage equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_equation

    the design drain spacing (L) can be found from the equation in dependence of the drain depth (Dd) and drain radius (r). Drainage criteria One would not want the water table to be too shallow to avoid crop yield depression nor too deep to avoid drought conditions. This is a subject of drainage research.

  6. Drainage density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_density

    Water is carried through channels much faster than over hillslopes, as saturated overland flow is slower due to being thinned out and obstructed by vegetation or pores in the ground. [7] Consequently, a drainage basin with a relatively higher drainage density will be more efficiently drained than a higher density one. [7]

  7. Boiler blowdown - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_blowdown

    A pipe near the bottom of the blowoff tank maintains a water level below the blowdown entry point and allows cooler water remaining from earlier blowdown events to drain from the tank first. Two bottom blowdown valves are often used in series to minimize erosion. One valve serves as the sealing valve, and the other as the blowdown valve.

  8. Submerged specific gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_specific_gravity

    Submerged specific gravity is equal to the specific gravity given by the ratio of the weight of the object to the weight of the fluid) minus one. That is, the object and fluid have the same density when the specific gravity equals one, and the submerged specific gravity equals zero.

  9. Void ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_ratio

    The opposite situation, i. e. when the void ratio is relatively small (dense soils), indicates that the volume of the soil is vulnerable to increase (swelling) under unloading – the smectite (montmorillonite, bentonite) partially dry clay particles present in an unsaturated soil can swell due to their hydration after contact with water (when ...
