Psychrometrics

Introduction Bernabucci et al., 2009 described a reduction in feed intake by finishing lambs as a result of heat stress conditions. Dávila-Ramírez et al., 2014 hypothesized that the use of β-adrenergic agonists as a feeding management strategy to improve carcass characteristics in reduced feed intake lambs. Zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) use in steers resulted in the mobilization of tissue from visceral organs and directed these nutrients to carcass tissues during periods of ZH supplementation (Baxa et al., 2010). The mobilization of non-carcass tissue nutrients results in lower energy requirements for growth and subsequently lower feed intake (Reeds and Mershmann, 1991). However, Macías-Cruz et al., 2010; observed that ZH increases longissimus muscle (LM) area without effects on feedlot performance of ewe lambs. Objectives to test this hypothesis were: feed 40 similarly aged and sized (body weight) across 4 treatments. Materials and Methods Forty Dorper × Pelibuey crossbred 4 month old ram lambs (31.7 ± 2.30 kg) were housed individually in pens with ad libitum water and shade was provided. Ram lambs were adapted 20-d to pens and a basal diet before initiation of treatment. All animals received 1 mL injections of vitamins A, D and E, and were treated for internal and external parasites with 0.5 mL Invermectin. Lambs were individually weighed and stratified by BW and assigned treatments across BW groups in a completely randomized design one week before the experimental phase.…

Intro to EWB: The EWB challenge is devoted improving lives, “Welcome to Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Australia. We 're here to engineer a better world, (Engineers Without Borders Australia, 2016).” The challenge they set before themselves is to allow everyone to lead a life without poverty through engineering knowledge and resources. “We connect, educate and empower people through humanitarian engineering. Humanitarian engineering uses a people centered, strength based approach to improve…

Variable Speed Motors | Air Conditioning Repair Dallas When you hear the term “variable speed”, it is in reference to the fan motor inside the indoor air handler. This component moves the heated or air conditioned air though the ductwork in your home. Garland Heating and Air Conditioning offersHVAC systems with variable speed motors for installation. In addition, it is possible that your existing system is compatible with the motor. Contact us for further information, or ask your HVAC technician…

Since is unknown at the bottom of the tower (at H=0), an initial guess for at the bottom of the tower is used. An iterative procedure is performed until the difference between the calculated value and the value obtained by experiments for inlet water flow rate is within the defined tolerance. The solution procedure is shown in fig 5. Figure 5- flowchart of the solution procedure Exergy calculations Specific exergy in cooling tower process, like other psychrometric processes, comprises two…
