What About the Ozone Hole?
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

This video provides history on product development by General Motors and other industries that led to the release of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It explains the connection between global warming and the ozone hole, chemical build-up in our lower and upper atmospheres, the increase in GWP gases, increased air quality ozone alerts and the 1987 Montreal Protocol that banned the use of CFCs globally.

Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

This video, video transcript, and accompanying poster, go beyond a description of weather and climate to highlight how NASA tracks the changes in climate and why it matters. Students will leave the video with the important sense of why data (in this case, gathered by satellites) is helping all of us monitor sea level, clouds, and to know that the earth's climate is getting warmer.

Wind Generator
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Windmills have been used for hundreds of years to collect energy from the wind in order to pump water, grind grain, and more recently generate electricity. There are many possible designs for the blades of a wind generator and engineers are always trying new ones. Design and test your own wind generator, then try to improve it by running a small electric motor connected to a voltage sensor.

The campus library: supporting research and scholarship since 1886
Rating
0.0 stars

Material created for an exhibition curated by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Special Collections.

Since 1886, there has been a library serving the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga campus and metropolitan area. As the campus has grown and changed over the years, so too has the library, responding to the needs of the university. Although many of the library resources available to current students, faculty, staff, and community members look different than those of years past, this exhibition celebrates the library’s commitment to supporting information discovery and providing infrastructure for learning that have been a part of its mission from day one.

hx Diagram (Mollier)

Rating
0.0 stars

Interactive hx diagram (Mollier) for displaying the changes in state of humid air at sensible temperature change, wet cooling, mixture air, humidification and custom state points.
Automatic calculation of the required heat flow for cooling and heating. Free online tool, no registration required.

More detailed information:
To analyze changes of state of moist air normally a diagram with the specific enthalpy as the ordinate and the humidity ration as the abscissa is used. This specific type of diagram was proposed in 1923 by the German professor of applied physics and mechanics, Richard Mollier.
The Mollier diagram is respectively created for a certain constant pressure, usually the atmospheric pressure (p≈1bar).
The thermodynamic properties of moist air are represented in the state diagram as lines of constant state variables - so-called isolines.
