In addition, porous Al2O3 is a competitive candidate for sensing low humidity levels as it can measure moisture concentration in gases and nonaqueous liquids from trace to ambient levels. The aluminum oxide sensor can be described as a capacitor. It is designed to be used in conjunction with...
Plants collect water through their roots. This water moves up the stem, into the leaves, and then it escapes into the air. Low humidity levels can be compensated with more water at the roots but each plant has a limit as to how far you can take this. Tropical indoor plants will struggl...
. As a result the VAC system cannot deal the sensible and latent load of AC distinctly. However in case of DAC the latent load of AC is converted into sensible load by means of desiccantdehumidificationas shown in process (1–2–5) inFig. 4. Furthermore, theindoor airquality can be ...
A durability study of a ramie fiber fabric reinforced phenolic resin (RFRP) plate under 50%, 85%, and 98% relative humidity for 6 months at room temperature was performed. Water absorption and desorption, tensile and short beam shear strengths of the RFR
Meringue stabilizers can be your best friends in many occasions, and on humid climate that certainly is the case! What exactly are meringue stabilizers? They can be found in the form of cream of tartar, salt, even lemon juice or vinegar, and my favorite: egg white powder. ...
Desiccant dehumidifiersuse desiccants which are substances that naturally absorb moisture (i.e. the little packets of silica gel included in electronics).Best for lower temperatures and moderate humidity. Can withstand freezing conditions as no water is produced. A well-reviewed unit is theEva-dry ...
suitability analyses reveal the realized range that can be affected by abiotic factors and by biotic interactions with competitors, predators, and hosts. While we focused on two of the Neotropical species of sand flies, our report serves as a blueprint to systematically characterize the behavioral ...
It is believed that higher conductivity MOF films can be obtained with further modifications, indicating the potential of such films as humidity detectors. Keywords: metal-organic frameworks; proton conductive materials; thin films; twin zinc source method...
Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of hotness or coldness of an object. The science of heat transfer explains how heat energy can move and can also predict the rate of transfer that occurs under certain conditions [5]. The increase in the temperature of an object is ...
How can we avoid a future mold problem in the building?1. Be sure there are no ongoing building leaks, water entry, or venting problems.2. Keep the indoor humidity level in the mid-comfort range. A maximum indoor relative humidity of 55% RH may be acceptable,...
