[ILM] 102A Flashcards
absolute presssure
A system of pressure measurement with a starting point in a perfect vacuum
0 psig = 14.7 psia
absolute temperature
0R == -460F
adiabatic compression
The compression of refrigerant gas without removing or adding heat content
ambient temperature
The average temp of the media that surrounds a point
BTU (British Thermal Unit)
the amount of heat required to raise the temp of 1lb of water by 1F
enthalpy
The heat in 1 lb or kg of a substance from a zero-base point and at -40F
entropy
A measurement of energy transfer where the energy is moved but not used to do work
head, static pressure
Fluid pressure based on the height of a column of fluid
IDLH
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health
laminar flow
The smooth undisturbed flow of a fluid within a duct or pipe
turbulent flow
The chaotic flow of a fluid within a duct or pipe
latent heat
Heat gained or lost with no temperature change
sublimation
a change of state from a solid directly to a vapour without having a liquid state (승화)
superheating
adding sensible heat to a vapour at its evaporation pressure
subcooling
removing heat from a liquid at its condensation pressure
