    The respective tables of data were generally developed by using the more complex transfer function method to determine the various cooling loads for different types of heating. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The results gained by doing so are then normalized for each type of heat gain used for the tables, CLTD, CLF, and SCL.

    Imagine that the time history is a template for a rigid sheet (pagoda roof). Turn the sheet clockwise 90° (earliest time to the top). Each "tensile peak" is imagined as a source of water that "drips" down the pagoda. Count the number of half-cycles by looking for terminations in the flow occurring when either:
