Hi Marisela, There are several factors which have to go into the model. One is the difference in temperature between inside and out. Only if it is hotter inside can any cooling be effected. The other
Hi Rami These devices are very inefficient (5-8%) and can only usefully be considered with waste heat. They have thermal problems and electrically can only be applied to loads of high resistance.
the half life is the amount of time it takes for half of the material to be left. So if I had a material and the half life was 8 years that would mean that after 8 years half of what I started with would
Well, without specific information about what process they have going on I can tell you a few things about Nitrogen that they may be exploiting. Nitrogen has a very high heat of formation and when it is
