The flowrate for water traveling through a horizontal300 m-long cast iron pipe with a diameter of 0.6 m and a pressure drop of 17.2 kPa is to befound. The energy equation (1) and equation (2) can be combined to give: Δp L V2 = f (4) γ D 2gwhere Δp is the upstream minus the downstream pressure, p1 – p2.

The latent heat removal associated with this moisture removal can becalculated from the following equation 9:q l = 0.68(cfm )(∆W ) (3.8) where q l = latent heat removal (Btu/hr) ∆W = moisture removal (gr/lb)Cooling coils often have low latent capacities, usually ranging from 20% to 30%. This high coilsensible heat ratio can create problems when the SHR of the load falls below 70 %, since the coilwill no longer have enough latent capacity to meet the latent load 5. These cooling coils cool theair to levels between 43 and 45 o F . Below that point, frost begins to form on parts of the coil,spreading slowly

Figure 4 defines thevariables in equations (1) –(3) in terms of a venturi but they apply to the orifice as well. Figures 5through 7 shows plots of flow versus delta P, insertion loss versus flow rate and discharge coefficientversus Reynolds Number for the orifice and venturi. The results of these experiments indicate clearlythat the venturi will flow greater quantities of water for a given supply pressure with a lower ∆P andlower insertion loss.

This processor must therefore, be fast and powerful enough, but not toocapable, since this will eventually drive up the component’s cost.A straight forward comparison of traditional communication system design and aUSRP/LabVIEW-based design follows. The USRP performs the traditional analog signalconditioning functions required of almost any radio, the required signal conversion (ADC andDAC), and then performs the rate conversion necessary to provide in-phase and quadrature (I &Q) signal samples, both to and from, the processor.
