  2. Vapor-compression refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression...

    Rotary screw compressors are also positive displacement compressors. Two meshing screw-rotors rotate in opposite directions, trapping refrigerant vapor, and reducing the volume of the refrigerant along the rotors to the discharge point. Small units are not practical due to back-leakage but large units have very high efficiency and flow capacity.

  3. Vapor-compression evaporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor-compression_evaporation

    This boiling point elevation is a challenge for vapor-compression evaporation in that it increases the pressure ratio that the steam compressor must attain to effect vaporization. Since boiling point elevation determines the pressure ratio in the compressor, it is the main overall factor in operating costs.

  4. Chiller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiller

    A vapor compression chiller typically uses one of four types of compressor: Reciprocating compression, scroll compression, screw-driven compression, and centrifugal compression are all mechanical machines that can be powered by electric motors, steam, or gas turbines. Using electric motors in a semi-hermetic or hermetic configuration is the ...

  5. Problem-based learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem-based_learning

    Problem-based learning (PBL) is a teaching method in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes.

  6. Computer cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cooling

    A vapor compression phase-change cooler is a unit that usually sits underneath the PC, with a tube leading to the processor. Inside the unit is a compressor of the same type as in an air conditioner. The compressor compresses a gas (or mixture of gases) which comes from the evaporator (CPU cooler discussed below).

  7. Probably approximately correct learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probably_approximately...

    In the interval problem the instance space, , is the set of all bounded intervals in , where denotes the set of all real numbers. A concept is a subset c ⊂ X {\displaystyle c\subset X} . One concept is the set of all patterns of bits in X = { 0 , 1 } n {\displaystyle X=\{0,1\}^{n}} that encode a picture of the letter "P".

  8. Glossary of HVAC terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_HVAC_terms

    A device that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. This cooled liquid flows through pipes in a building and passes through coils in air handlers, fan-coil units, or other systems, cooling and usually dehumidifying the air in the building. Chillers are of two types; air-cooled or water-cooled.

  9. Polytropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytropic_process

    Under the assumption of ideal gas law, heat and work flows go in opposite directions (K > 0), such as in vapor compression refrigeration during compression, where the elevated vapour temperature resulting from the work done by the compressor on the vapour leads to some heat loss from the vapour to the cooler surroundings. n = γ —
