The most productive operation of a collector is when the temperature of theinlet liquid (Ti) is the same as the surrounding temperature (Ta). Flat panel collectors are usuallyare 75% effective when Ti equals Ta, whereas evacuated tubes have a proficiency of around 50%.Collectors tend to operate 30°F to 80°F above surrounding temperatures to deliver end-usetemperatures from 100°F to 130°F. Efficiency is poor when the inlet temperatures have risen. Thiscauses the heat exchange from the

One academic library branchrecently had to learn the answer to that question for itself.LITERATURE REVIEWThe idea of a “bookless library” has been around for at least fifteen years, with engineeringlibraries making up the bulk of this trend. Stanford University made what is considered the firstattempt with their renovation of their engineering library in 2009. However, since some bookswere still kept on site, the library is not considered fully bookless.[1]In 2010, the University of Texas at San Antonio’s Applied Engineering and Technology Librarybecame the first to officially eliminate all physical books within its space.[2] Located in theinstitution’s Applied Engineering and Technology Building, the library occupies what

IntroductionTeacher beliefs play a critical role in shaping instructional practices, as established by Dewey(1933) [1] and Rokeach (1968) [2]. Building on Bandura's social cognitive theory (1986, 1997)[3], which highlights the influence of outcome expectancies on actions, this study examines howpre-service teachers’ beliefs evolve and inform their engagement with

Another highlyinfluential factor in the students' reasoning for enrolling in construction science is having work-related experiences with construction, specifically, working in construction outside of aninternship capacity [2].That is an effective approach to learn about the construction industry and the kind of people thatwork in it every day. Unfortunately, not every student can work in or around construction beforethey need to decide if they will go into construction science.
