Heating and Cooling Curves02:44

Heating and Cooling Curves

24.2K
When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves.
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...

Global Climate Change

24.8K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Precipitation and Co-precipitation01:17

Precipitation and Co-precipitation

2.2K
Precipitation and coprecipitation methods can be used to separate a mixture of ions in a solution. In qualitative inorganic analysis, ions that form sparingly soluble precipitates with the same reagent are separated based on the differences in solubility products. For example, consider the separation of Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions by precipitation as insoluble sulfides. First, copper(II) sulfide is precipitated by the addition of acidic H2S, where the dissociation of H2S is suppressed. Adding H2S...

Thermal Energy Microscopically, thermal energy is the kinetic energy associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules. Temperature is a quantitative measure of “hot” or “cold”, which depends on the amount of thermal energy. When the atoms and molecules in an object are moving or vibrating quickly, they have a higher average kinetic energy (KE) (or higher thermal energy), and the object is perceived as “hot”, or it is described as being at a...

Precipitation Gravimetry01:03

Precipitation Gravimetry

7.7K
Precipitation gravimetry is based on converting an analyte into a sparingly soluble precipitate, which is separated by filtration and weighed. An ideal precipitate should be pure, insoluble, of known composition, and easily filtered from the reaction mixture.
In determining nickel by gravimetric analysis, a precipitant of ethanolic dimethylglyoxime is added to a hot nickel salt solution. This is quickly followed by the dropwise addition of dilute ammonia solution until precipitation occurs. A...

Precipitation Processes01:12

Precipitation Processes

616
The experimental conditions in a gravimetric analysis should be optimized to maximize the particle size and purity of the obtained precipitate. Ideally, the concentration of the precipitating reagent should be low with effective stirring to maintain low relative supersaturation for the growth of large crystals. In homogeneous precipitation, the precipitant is slowly generated by a chemical reaction in the solution to avoid local reagent excesses. For example, urea decomposes gradually to...

Area of Science:

  • Building Science
  • Environmental Engineering
  • Climate Data Analysis

Background:

  • Transient hygrothermal assessments require specific external climatic conditions, typically via moisture reference year (MRY) files.
  • Australia currently lacks standardized MRY files, forcing reliance on thermal-focused typical meteorological year (TMY) files or disparate proprietary datasets, hindering research consistency.
  • This data gap impedes reproducible hygrothermal studies and comparative analyses in the Australian context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive dataset of hygrothermal climate files for Australia.
  • To enable accurate transient hygrothermal simulations and building performance assessments.
  • To support the creation of hygrothermal maps and facilitate standardized research.

Main Methods:

  • Extracted raw hourly climate data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and NOAA databases.
  • Generated MRY files for 30 Australian locations using a moisture index method over 30 years.
  • Analyzed wetting and drying indices, selecting the 10th-percentile year as the MRY for severe moisture stress.

Main Results:

  • Developed a dataset including MRYs for 30 Australian locations and 10 years of hourly data for major cities.
  • The MRY selection method identifies the most representative year for building envelope moisture stress.
  • The dataset is formatted for direct use in hygrothermal simulations adhering to ASHRAE 160-2016 standards.

Conclusions:

  • The released dataset addresses the critical need for standardized hygrothermal climate data in Australia.
  • This resource facilitates reproducible research, comparative studies, and improved building performance simulations.
  • The MRY files provide essential input for assessing building envelope performance under moisture stress conditions.
