What is the purpose of finding the mass flow rate of the air in the house?”A: “Mass flow rate is used only in the calculating air exchanges between the house and theambient as it happens due to closing and opening of doors, leakage through the windows anddoors etc. and this is given as 0.4.”Q: “Shouldn't the heat input for solar radiation be higher in the summer than in the winter,considering we are closer to the sun in the summer time? Would you please elaborate on thismatter?”A: “Good question! In winter, the angle made by the sun is more oblique at the earth. (see linkfor a picture depicting this).

The airspeeds are too small for the normal wind tunnel measurement system whichmakes use of the pressure drop in the wind tunnel converging section resulting from theBernoulli effect. An indirect method is possible, by measuring the volumetric flow rate supplied Page 14.208.7to the rake manifold from the smoke generation system. If the total volumetric flow rate of aircontaining smoke is Q, then the average discharge velocity from N identical rake tubes will be U= Q/(NA), where A is the internal cross-sectional area of a single typical rake tube.

with the shrinking size in the relationship betweencharge, voltage and capacitance Q = C V is at the root of this sensitivity since at acapacitance of 10-17F or less, V is likely to be larger than the thermal voltage for a singleelectron moving from one side to the other1. Such effects cause degradation in theperformance of CMOS technology ultimately limiting the device densities attainable withtransistors. These limits have led to the growing importance of developing alternativebottom up approaches such as nano-technology which allows scaling at the limits ofmolecular dimensions. QCA and nano-wires are two such approaches and our interest inthese two areas has been guided by the PI’s prior experience in the field of QuantumInformation
