The document aims to compare experimental explosion data with predictions from these vent sizing correlations.
The document summarizes the design of a new pollution control equipment system for an industrial facility. The existing system was found to have low efficiency and high dust emissions. The new bag filter-based system was designed to have higher cleaning efficiency of 99% and meet latest emission standards. Key aspects of the new system design included larger suction hoods, larger diameter ducts and fans, additional instrumentation, and a taller stack. Recommendations were also provided to further improve occupational hygiene.
This document discusses the implications of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Regulations (DSEAR) for process and plant design. DSEAR requires employers to assess risks from dangerous substances early in the design process and implement measures to eliminate or reduce risks. It promotes applying inherent safety principles such as substitution or modifying conditions to remove hazards. The document outlines how DSEAR may affect different stages of process design and provides examples of risk reduction approaches for combustible dusts, gases/vapors, and flammable liquids.
Callide oxyfuel research project, Part 2: CO2 quality control prior to compre...Global CCS Institute
The webinar summarized research from the Callide oxyfuel project in Australia. It discussed measurements taken during transitions between air and oxy-fuel firing in the plant's fabric filter. The measurements found the filter captured over 90% of mercury, with burner configuration most influencing mercury levels. Sulfur trioxide measurements were very low at 0.6-3.6 ppm. The webinar also reviewed a low-pressure caustic scrubber's role in removing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and mercury before compression. The scrubber was effective but may not be the most economic solution for a commercial plant.

The document discusses how people work hard to avoid pain, hunger, and not being able to provide basic needs. It then lists hypothetical negative situations that could occur if one fails to take action, such as a son calling his father "good for nothing" for not providing money. It encourages the reader to write down what they could experience if they fail to pay rent or give money to family, and what they could experience if they do take action. The purpose is to motivate the reader to take action now rather than wait, as it may be too late later. It also promotes a story about how a young man overcame pains and difficulties to change his life and make money.
A young man was promised money each month by a man for doing nothing. However, after the first month when he went to collect the money, he was told the man was not there. The second and third months he tried again but was also told the man was unavailable or that there was no money. Feeling disappointed and without money to buy food, he cried out to God. He then decided he could no longer rely on the man's promises and would have to find work instead.
Plate heat exchangers have thin, corrugated plates that induce turbulence and minimize fouling. They offer higher heat transfer coefficients than shell and tube exchangers, resulting in more compact equipment. Plate heat exchangers come in gasketed, brazed, and welded designs. Gasketed plate heat exchangers use pressed metal plates with gaskets to separate fluid channels. They are the most common type of plate heat exchanger.

Assessment of the natural air ventilation of buildings in urban area with the...Stephane Meteodyn
Nowadays, a lot of energy is spent for air-conditioning in the cities for offices and private-housing. A good knowledge of the urban climatology around the buildings allows using the wind for natural air ventilation. A combined approach based on a Computational fluid dynamics code (CFD) that models the wind in urban environment and on air network tool was developed to assess quickly the natural ventilation of buildings in urban area. The aerodynamic tool is a CFD-Network software named "UrbaWind which performs calculation of the outdoor wind combined with a macroscopic network method for the evaluation of the mass flow rates through the openings. Results depend on the external wind conditions, taking into account the local wind climatology.
Giving the influence of the shape and the disposition of the buildings on the wind behaviors, CFD software solves the equations of fluid mechanics with a specific model which allows taking into account the urban environment effects such as vortexes, venturi or wise effects etc…. Finally, the software is able to compute the air mass flow rate inside each internal volume depending on the opening's behaviors attached to the wall building.
The mass flow rates across air inlets and openings, as well as the pressure fields on the building envelope are computed for every wind incidence, considering a wind reference velocity. The local climatology is introduced to deliver statistical data useful to assess the energy consumption and the thermal comfort (air exchange rate, indoor velocity).
Through many architectural and urban design projects, Meteodyn will introduce during this session the characteristics of the software UrbaWind and the results delivered to the design teams.
The document summarizes results from air leakage tests on 387 commercial and institutional buildings in the United States. Key findings include:
- The average air leakage was 0.72 cubic feet per minute per square foot (cfm/ft2) at 75 Pascals of pressure.
- Buildings with effective air barriers were on average 70% tighter than those without.
- Modeling showed that reducing leakage from a typical level of 4 times the US Army Corps standard to a target 40% below the standard could significantly reduce air infiltration and energy use in buildings.
- Additional research on taller buildings is still needed to establish appropriate testing methods and better understand leakage patterns.

Energy and Indoor Air Quality Impacts of DOAS Retrofits in Small Commercial B...RDH Building Science
Heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) typically accounts for 30% to 50% of commercial building energy use. Small commercial buildings often use oversized and inefficient rooftop air handling units (RTUs) to provide both air conditioning and ventilation. A conversion strategy to reduce energy
consumption is the installation of a very high efficiency dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) to provide ventilation with a separate heat pump system to provide heating and cooling. Decoupling the heating and cooling from ventilation allows for improved energy efficiency and control of space conditions. Upgrades to mechanical systems can also improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) and comfort through control of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, dry bulb temperature, and relative humidity (RH).
A pilot study of eight buildings was conducted to investigate the potential benefits of replacing existing RTUs with high efficiency heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and air source heat pumps in the Pacific Northwest. This report contains results for a subset of seven buildings for which data is available. The
building energy use before and after the conversion was determined using utility data, energy modeling and monitoring. Indoor environmental conditions were measured at hourly intervals for up to one year postconversion using CO2, temperature, and RH sensors. The data was analyzed to determine changes in energy use and IAQ before and after the conversion.
This paper presents the pilot building results pre- and post-conversion. While several factors need to be in place to ensure optimal performance and cost effectiveness, the pilot shows that replacing RTUs with DOAS systems in existing commercial buildings can both reduce energy use as well as improve indoor environmental conditions. This conversion type is viable for a wide variety of building types and scale-up of the retrofits has the potential to significantly improve a previously underserved segment of the building stock.

Air sealing and ventilation improvements were tested in six multifamily buildings to reduce odor transfer between units. General approaches included ventilating odor sources, reducing air leakage between units through sealing, and increasing ventilation of receiving units. Air sealing focused on leaks between units and reduced shared leakage by an average of 23%. Ventilation was increased by installing new fans, converting intermittent exhaust to continuous, and balancing air flows, raising average rates by 60%. Tracer gas tests found reduced odor transfer in 65% of units, with 80% of tenants reporting less frequent and severe secondhand smoke drift. The study demonstrated practical, low-cost air sealing and ventilation treatments can effectively improve indoor air quality in multifamily housing.
This document outlines the design of the HVAC system for the first floor of a science and technology hospital in Sana'a, Yemen. It discusses the building description, cooling load calculations using both manual and technical methods, duct design including duct sizing and selection of fans and accessories, and pipe design for the chilled water system. The technical method of load calculation in the REVIT program was found to be more accurate than the manual method. Ductwork was designed and fans were selected to meet the required air flows. A closed two-pipe direct return chilled water system was chosen for temperature control.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
