COOLING SYSTEM
1) Need for cooling system (INTRODUCTION)
During the process of converting thermal energy to mechanical energy high temp are produced in the cylinder of the engine as a result of the combustion process. A large portion of the heat is transferred to the cylinder head and walls, piston and valves. Unless this excess heat is carried away and these parts are adequate cooled, the engine will be damaged. A cooling system must be preventing damages to vital parts of the engine, but the temperature of these components must be maintained within certain limits in the order to obtain maximum performance from the engine. Hence a cooling system is needed to keep the engine from not getting so hot as to cause problems and yet to permit it to run hot enough to ensure maximum efficiency of the engine. The duty of cooling system, in other word, is to keep the engine from getting not too hot and at the same time not to keep it too cool either.
2) Characteristics of efficient cooling system
The following are the two main characteristics desired of an efficient cooling system
1) It should be capable of removing about 30% of heat generated in the combustion chamber while maintain the optimum temp of the engine under all operating conditions of engine.
2) It should remove heat at a faster rate when engine is hot. However during starting of the engine the cooling should be minimum, so that the working parts of engine reach their operating temperature in short time.
3) Type of cooling system
In order to cool the engine a cooling medium is required. This can be either air or a liquid accordingly there are two type of systems in general use for cooling the IC engine. They are
1) Liquid or indirect cooling system
2) Air or direct cooling system
4) Liquid cooled systems
In this system mainly water is used and made to circulate through the jackets provided around the cylinder, cylinder-head, valve ports and seats where it extracts most of the heat.
It consists of a long flat, thin-walled tube with an opening, facing the water pump outlet and a number of small openings along its length that directs the water against the exhaust valves. The fits in the water jacket and can be removed from the front end of the block.
The heat is transferred from the cylinder walls and other parts by convection and conduction. The liquid becomes heated in its passage through the jackets and is in turn cooled by means of an air-cooled radiator system. The heat from liquid in turn is transferred to air. Hence it is called the indirect cooling system. Water cooling can be carried out by any of the following five methods
1) Direct or non-return system
2) Thermosyphone system
3) Forced circulation cooling system
4) Evaporative cooling system
5) Pressure cooling system
4.1) Direct or non-return system
This system is useful for large installation where plenty of water is available. The water from a storage tank is directly supplied through the inlet valve to

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4.1 Introduction of Air-Conditioning System
There are 4 types of air-conditioning system:
1. Room air-conditioner
2. Split unit air-conditioner system
3. Packaged unit air-conditioning system
4. Centralized Air-Conditioning system
4.1.1 Room Air-Conditioner
Diagram 4.1 & 4.2 Room Air-Conditioner.
Room air-conditioner also known as window air-conditioner. It is the simplest type of an
aerating and cooling framework and is mounted on windows or dividers. It is a solitary unit that
is amassed in a packaging where every one of the segments are found. This refrigeration unit has
a double shaft fan engine with fans mounted on both sides of the engine. One at the evaporator
side and the other at the condenser side. The evaporator side is found confronting the space for
cooling of the space and the condenser side open air for warmth dismissal. There is a protected
segment isolating this two sides inside a similar packaging.

A split unit air-conditioner system comprises of two principle parts: the open air unit and the
indoor unit. The open air unit is introduced on or close to the divider outside of the room or
space that you wish to cool. The unit houses the compressor, condenser coil and the expansion
coil or capillary tubing. The smooth looking indoor unit contains the cooling loop, a long blower
and an air filter.

A packaged unit is the across the board warming and cooling framework for homes that don't
have a great deal of room inside for either a heater and loop, or an air handler. Bundle units will
contain the majority of their parts in one open air unit that sits on either the rooftop or to the side
of a building. Furthermore, they come in two unique impressions: little or vast. Littler impression
bundle units have a tendency to be simpler to introduce while bigger impression bundle units
have more noteworthy establishment adaptability. Vast impression units can be introduced on
either a housetop or a section while little bundled frameworks must be introduced on a chunk. In
Summit USJ, this system is used to provide air-conditioning for extended hours, such as the
cinema, bowling centre and entertainment centre.

Diagram 4.7 & 4.8 Centralized Air Conditioning System.
Centralized Air-Conditioning system is intended for the substantial scale building, for example,
doctor's facility, air terminal, shopping center, and so on. Brought together aerating and cooling
framework is great at exchanging adapted air from a base area to each zone through the air ducts
keeping in mind the end goal to cool each parts of the building. There are 2 sorts of incorporated
aerating and cooling framework, Chilled Water Central Air Conditioning Plant and Direct
Expansion (DX) Central Air Conditioning Plant. To put it plainly, chilled water focal aerating
and cooling plant cools the water first by utilizing refrigerant and transforms the ordinary air into
molded air while the refrigerant in DX focal ventilating plant cools the air straightforwardly
without utilizing chilled water.
4.2 Benefits of centralized air-conditioning system
1. Indoor comfort during warm weather – Central air conditioning helps keep your home
cool and lessens dampness levels.
6. AIR-CONDITIONING
Building Services (BLD 60903) March 2017 5
2. Cleaner air – As the central air conditioning system draws air out of various rooms in the
house through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removes
airborne particles such as dust and lint. Complex filters may expel infinitesimal toxins
too. The sifted air is then directed to air supply ventilation work that conveys it back to
rooms.
3. Calmer operation – Because the compressor-bearing unit is situated outside the home, the
indoor clamor level from its operation is much lower than that of a detached aerating and
cooling unit.

This sort of framework is normally utilized as a part of substantial building particularly the one
that contains a few stories to be cooled. In chilled water plant, refrigerant chills answers for a
low temperature of around 6 to 8 degree celsius and the chilled water is then pumped to various
floors of the building and its individual parts. The Air Handling Unit (AHU) is introduced
specifically parts which incorporates ducts, cooling coils and blowers. From that point forward,
the chilled water will go through the cooling coil and the arrival air from the chilled air room will
be ingested by the blower and cooled by the pipe. Along these lines, the cooled air is separated
and aerated and cooled and prepared to cool the specific territory.
4.4 Components of system
4.4.1 Centrifugal chiller
Diagram 4.10 Overall view in chiller room (left).
Diagram 4.11 Components in centrifugal chiller (right).
The main function of chiller, also known as chilled water plant, is to lower the temperature of the
air by using chilled water. Summit Mall chose to use centrifugal chiller as it is the most
economical way to cool down spaces in large buildings. In Summit, there are three chillers in
total while two chillers are operating at the same time while the other one acts as a standby
chiller in case there is any breakdown. However, the three chillers operate based on alternate
schedule where they are used alternatively. For example, Chiller 1 and Chiller 2 will be
functioning in January while Chiller 1 and Chiller 3 will be functioning in February. Moreover,

centrifugal chilled water plant consists of evaporator, compressor, condenser, and thermostatic
expansion valve.
Diagram 4.12 & Diagram 4.13 Condenser motor pump (Green), Chilled water motor pump (Blue).
There are two motor pumps in chiller; condenser motor pump and chilled water motor pump.
The condenser motor pump will exchange consolidated water to the cooling tower. Chilled water
will be created by the chilling tower by chilling dense water. The chilled water is then exchanged
back to chiller by chilled water motor pump before it is pumped to AHU.
A coveted water temperature of 40°F in the chiller will be aligned by experienced expert. On the
off chance that the genuine temperature of water in the chiller does not meet the preset point, it
will balanced either to increment or lower the temperature of water to guarantee both setpoint
and real temperature is the same. The ideal temperature for Summit Mall is set as 24°C.

Diagram 4.16 Indication of where the centrifugal system is located at sixth floor.
4.4.1.1 Evaporator
Evaporator, known as heat exchanger, serves to extract heat from the chilled water and reduce
the water temperature in this cycle. The heat from the warm chilled water is used to boil the
refrigerant inside the chiller. After the refrigerant evaporates and turns into vapour, it passes
through the compressor before entering the condenser, while chilled water is sent back to AHU
to be used again in the air cycle.
4.4.1.2 Compressor
The function of the compressor is to transfer the refrigerant vapour to the condenser. First, the
refrigerant vapour with low temperature and pressure will be removed from the evaporator and
being compressed to become gas with high temperature and pressure in order to proceed to the
condensation process.
4.4.1.3 Condenser
Condenser also act as the same as evaporator, which serves as a heat exchanger in chilled water
plant to increase the water temperature thus producing condensed water. Condenser is connected
to the cooling tower via condensed water pipe. Condenser turns the refrigerant back to liquid by
removing the heat from the refrigerant. Hence, the water becomes condensed water after it
absorbs the heat.
10. AIR-CONDITIONING
Building Services (BLD 60903) March 2017 9
4.4.1.4 Thermostatic Expansion Valve
The function of thermostatic expansion valve is to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant liquid
before it is transported to the evaporator.
4.4.1.5 Refrigeration Cycle
Centrifugal chillers in Summit Mall utilises vapor compression cycle to lower the temperature of
water in which the refrigerant undergoes phases change. Circulation of refrigerant in the cycle
helps to absorb and reject heat in the air to the surrounding area. The refrigerant enters the
compressor which makes the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant high. High pressure of
refrigerant leaves the compressor and enters condenser in chiller unit. Then, condensed water
produced from the condenser is transported to cooling tower by using motor pump for further
cooling. Pressure of refrigerant remains same level but exits the condenser in a lower
temperature since the heat is used to heat up the water. At this stage, expansion valve is used to
lower the pressure of refrigerant thus making it undergoes phases changes. Liquid refrigerant
evaporates and losses pressure but it can regain the pressure in compressor. Then, gas refrigerant
absorbs heat from the water thus creating chilled water in evaporator in chiller unit. Then, the
repetition of refrigeration cycle occurs in the chiller unit.

4.4.1.6 Type of Refrigerant Used
The type of refrigerant used in Summit is R-134a which also known as Tetrafluoroethane as a
replacement for R-12. It is being widely used in HVAC system nowadays due to its ability to
reduce effects of ozone depletion compared to CFC refrigerants. R-134A is a high pressure
refrigerant that requires a higher compressor input. Precaution steps need to be taken if R-134A
is used as refrigerant in HVAC system due to its high potential in leaking. It is because the it will
be more likely to leak out from chiller compared to other type of refrigerants.

Diagram 4.20 & Diagram 4.21 Cooling tower located at the roof of Summit Mall.
Cooling Tower is associated with the condenser in the chiller. The primary capacity of the
cooling tower is to evacuate the warmth in the dense water and concentrate the warmth to the
climate. The cool chilled water is then disseminated back to the chill water plant to rehash
refrigeration cycle. In this way, the vast majority of the cooling tower is put in open air in request
to permit the procedure of warmth exchanging runs viably amongst water and environment. In
Summit Mall, just a single cooling tower is required for every chiller. Notwithstanding, there are
extra cooling towers to be set up in the event that there is any crisis breakdown. Summit Mall
picked counterflow water cooling tower in this framework to limit the daylight introduction to
the water to avoid overheating and green growth creation. Counterflow water cooling tower is a
framework which the dense water will be pumped by consolidated water engine and progresses
toward becoming water beads. The fan in the cooling tower will scatter the warmth from the
dense water by sucking up the outside air from the air. Along these lines, the cool water streams
descending go through the infill and prepared to be pumped back to the chiller.

Diagram 4.22 & Diagram 4.23 FCU at Summit.
Fundamentally, Fan Coil Unit (FCU) serves an indistinguishable capacity from AHU yet it
works in a littler scale. In Summit Mall, FCU used to chill off certain territory of the shopping
center, for instance the PC server room. In addition, FCU can control the temperature of the
territory. This framework is typically utilized for little zone. The contrasts amongst FCU and
AHU is that FCU does not require ventilation work as it is only a basic box formed gadget
comprises of diffuser, return pipe, fan and cooling loop. Along these lines, some FCU are
introduced at the roof of the shopping center to chill off that specific territory.
4.4.4 Air Handling Unit (AHU)
In Summit Mall, the AHU is utilized to chill off vast range of the shopping center. There are 6
AHU rooms at each floor and one AHU can give cool natural air to 10 shoplots which is around
16. AIR-CONDITIONING
Building Services (BLD 60903) March 2017 15
a space of 20m x 20m. To give adequate air to this territory, AHU size is around 1.5m x 3m x
1.5m which alludes to its stature, length and width separately. Summit Mall utilizes mineral
fleece sort channel in the AHU in light of the fact that mineral fleece is a decent solid protection
and warm protection material. Additionally, the sound protection framework is likewise
introduced in dividers and entryways of AHU space to additionally decrease the commotions
created. Essentially, AHU comprises of damper, channel, cooling curl, blending chamber, fan
and it is associated with the diffuser framework by means of the ducting, which are supply
conduit and return pipe. The fan utilized as a part of the AHU in Summit Mall is Centrifugal fan
so as to flow the air in the AHU.
Diagram 4.24 & Diagram 4.25 Centrifugal Fan in AHU.
AHU is not just utilized for giving cool air to the inside range of building yet it additionally
serves in air dissemination inside the shopping center. The cool chilled water in the chiller will
chills off the air hence the cool air will be given to all aspects of shopping center. The more
prudential approach to use for cooling the shopping center is by utilizing the air from outside
rather than the recycled return air when the open air is cooler than the arrival air. At the point
when the open air is hotter than the arrival air, little measure of the outside air will blended by
the blending chamber with the arrival air then disseminated to the shopping center through
diffusers. Be that as it may, the air with high debasement will be expelled from the AHU by
blower. The warm chilled water will be exchanged back to chilled water plant and the refrigerant
in chilled water plant will cools the warm chilled water in refrigeration cycle. After the chilled
water being cooled, it exchanged back to AHU and the aerating and cooling cycle is rehashed.

Diagram 4.28 & Diagram 4.29 Diffusers at Summit Mall.
For the most part, there are two sorts of diffusers which are supply air diffuser and return air
grilles. Summit Mall has installed circular supply diffusers and return air grilles at the ceiling of
the mall. Supply air diffuser goes about as a distributor to supply the cool air to the mall from
AHU while return air grilles help to return the warm air back to AHU to repeat the air
circulation. The quantity of supply diffuser is more than return air grille, yet return air grille is
bigger than supply air diffuser. Be that as it may, there are sure spaces in Summit Mall which
have high ceiling, in this Summit Mall utilized non hosted supply air diffuser to chill off the
specific areas. It is because ceiling supply air diffuser could not be installed. Maintenance staff
will check the diffusers once every month to see whether if there is any dirt accumulated.
Removal of the dirt has to be carried out to ensure the high caliber of air distributed to the mall.

The fundamental capacity of the ducting framework is to connect the AHU, diffuser and return
air duct together to help in air dissemination. The duct does not just aides in circulating the fresh
air to the building additionally return the air back to AHU. Majority of the ducting systems are
concealed by the roof in the mall, yet some ducting systems are uncovered for instance ducting
system in basement carpark.
For the piping system, there are 2 type of pipes which are Condenser motor pump and Chilled
Water motor pump utilized for the air-conditioning system in Summit Mall. The pipes are set
apart by utilizing diverse shading to differentiate them effectively.
Condenser motor pump (Green Color) return the warm condense water from the condenser to
cooling and distribute the cool water from the cooling tower to the condenser. On the other hand,
the chilled water motor pump (Blue Color) return the warm water from AHU to the evaporator
and supply the cool chilled water from evaporator to the AHU. Insulation is applied to the pipes
in order to prevent condensation on the pipe and to prevent heat absorption by the cold water in
the pipe.

Variable Air Volume (VAV) framework is normally utilized as a part of shopping buildings. In
Summit Mall, it utilizes variable air volume framework to control variable temperature at various
regions of the retail platform. For instance, the temperature of the workplace in Summit Mall is
distinctive with the shoplots. Variable Air Volume is a container that aides in controlling the
temperature of air provided to numerous zones. The fundamental reason of Summit Mall for
utilizing this framework is to decrease the vitality utilized as it can back off the speed of the fan
and can control the air supply. Essentially, the air will be circulated in a steady temperature to a
VAV end unit from focal plant then given to each zones in required cooling level. The indoor
regulator goes about as a controller associated with VAV framework which makes it more
accommodation for the officer to change the temperature of that specific zone. Capacity of VAV
to supply air in various zones that required diverse temperature all the while makes it certainly a
helpful application in Summit Mall.

An appropriate venting and expulsion of smokes, warmth or gasses that delivered in kitchen,
server room and cellar auto stop in Summit. All sustenance and drink eateries inside the
shopping center are required which will deliver an expansive volume of smoke to introduce their
own particular fumes hood which will be then associated with a brought together fumes fan. The
specialists and clients are presented to hurtful smokes as the smokes couldn't be uncovered out if
there is no such necessity from Summit. Nearby fumes ventilation comprises of five segments
which are hood, conduit, outward fan, engine and fumes as appeared in outline.
Every part plays an imperative and significant part so as to keep the air clean inside these ranges.
The hood is dependable to catch vapor and warmth however much as could reasonably be
expected from burning exercises, hardware and so forth. It is intended to particular size relies on
upon the volume of exhaust that should be encased. Furthermore, pipe is utilized to transport
contaminants far from those territories while diffusive fan is utilized to smoothen the
development of air all through the framework. At that point, engine works the fan to encourage
the wind current. The last part, debilitate expels dirtied air all through the framework.
