  2. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating,_ventilation,_and...

    An air conditioning system, or a standalone air conditioner, provides cooling and/or humidity control for all or part of a building. Air conditioned buildings often have sealed windows, because open windows would work against the system intended to maintain constant indoor air conditions.

  3. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    Water pumping stations are differentiated from wastewater pumping stations in that they do not have to be sized to account for high peak flow rates. They have five general categories: [3] Source (such as a well) pump discharging into an elevated tank; Raw water pumping from a river or lake; In-line booster pumping into an elevated tank

  4. Centrifugal pump selection and characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump_selection...

    Pump curves are quite useful in the pump selection, testing, operation and maintenance. Pump performance curve is a graph of differential head against the operating flow rate. They specify performance and efficiency characteristics. Performance tests are done on the pumps to verify the claims made by the pump maker.

  5. Pipe network analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_network_analysis

    To direct water to many users, municipal water supplies often route it through a water supply network. A major part of this network will consist of interconnected pipes. This network creates a special class of problems in hydraulic design, with solution methods typically referred to as pipe network analysis. Water utilities generally make use ...

  6. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    In convective heat transfer, Newton's Law is followed for forced air or pumped fluid cooling, where the properties of the fluid do not vary strongly with temperature, but it is only approximately true for buoyancy-driven convection, where the velocity of the flow increases with temperature difference.

  7. Water pumping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pumping

    Due to the rotation, water is then picked up by the tube and pumped upwards in the hose. The coil pump, as many low lift pumps, is commonly used for irrigation purposes and for drainage of lands. It is currently still used by farmers in Asia. [1] The coil pump was built as an alternative to the Archimedean screw. Unlike the Archimedean screw ...

  8. Heat pump and refrigeration cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump_and...

    Thermodynamic heat pump cycles or refrigeration cycles are the conceptual and mathematical models for heat pump, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. [1] A heat pump is a mechanical system that transmits heat from one location (the "source") at a certain temperature to another location (the "sink" or "heat sink") at a higher temperature ...

  9. Air lock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_lock

    If the water flow velocity is below the rising velocity of air bubbles, then water trickles down to the next low point and traps the remaining air between the first high point and the second low point. As more water flows down, the upward leg after the second low point fills up. This exerts a pressure on the trapped air from the water on either ...
