& News, 2017). Insulation to Walls and Ceiling Bungalow houses were not insulated when they were built, insulation must be applied to all the external walls and ceiling, it is required by the council and also improve the house against heat loss and its acoustic level (Figure: 5). The selected material to use as insulation is made from fiber glass, it offers excellent thermal performance and is made from recycled glass which makes it eco-friendly ("Underfloor & Ceiling Insulation for a Warmer…

contractor a few hours to create and install a pump house. A pump house is basically like a dog house for your pump.

5.3. Ventilation: No matter the courtyard is small or big in these two buildings, the ventilation still has very small values, due to the closing massive walls towards the outside and opening towards the inside in the origin design, and the semi-closed windows later during the operation. Both buildings need an increase of ventilation ranging between 0.06-0.1 m/s comparing with 0.15 m/s of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard for occupant comfort (ANSI/ASHRAE 1992), taking into account the consideration of…

and warm its body up relatively fast. Another favorable aspect of the Emperor Penguins development is that approximately 30% of a penguin's overall body mass can potentially be a well defined layer of blubber which consequently improves the thermal insulation of the penguin whilst swimming as well as stores excess energy and heat. Although, on it’s own the layer of blubber is not sufficient enough to ensure the penguins body temperature remains constant and stable. Therefore the penguin needs a…

transfer coefficient, the effects of insulation, and the number of fouled tubes in the shell and tube heat exchanger. The flow rates of the hot water supply to the tubes and the cold water supply to the shell were varied, and temperatures for the hot inlet, hot outlet, cold inlet, and cold outlet streams were recorded. These temperatures were recorded for each of the three experimental setups, which were no fouling or insulation, insulation with no fouling, and insulation with an unknown…
