TERMINOLOGY
Glossary of Physical and Heating, Ventilating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Terms Used in the Text
Absolute Zero: The zero from which absolute temperature is reckoned. Ap proximately --273.15 Cor --459.67 F. These values were established by the Tenth General Conference on Weights and Measures, 1954.
Absorbent: A sorbent which changes physically or chemically, or both, during the sorption process.
Absorption: The action of a material in extracting one or more substances present in an atmosphere or mixture of gases or liquids; accompanied by physical change, chemical change, or both, of the sorbent.
Acceleration: The time rate of change of velocity, i.e., the derivative of velocity with respect to time. In the cgs system the unit of acceleration is the centimeter per (second) (second); in the fps system the unit is the foot per (second) (second), a = ^
Acceleration Due to Gravity: The rate of gain in velocity of a freely falling body the value of which varies with latitude and elevation. The international gravity standard has the value of 980.665 cm per (sec) (sec) or 32.174 ft per (sec) (sec) which is the actual value of this acceleration at sea level and about 45 deg latitude.
Adiabatic: An adjective descriptive of a process such that no heat is added to, or taken from, a substance or system undergoing the process.
Adsorbent: A sorbent which does not change physically or chemically during the sorption process.
Adsorption: The action, associated with surface adherence, of a material in ex tracting one or more substances present in an atmosphere or mixture of gases and liquids, unaccompanied by physical or chemical change: Commercial adsorbent materials have enormous internal surfaces.
Aerosol: An assemblage of small particles, solid or liquid, suspended in air. Ths diameters of the particles may vary from 100 microns down to 0.01 micron or less, e.g., dust, fog, smoke.
Air Cleaner: A device designed for the purpose of removing airborne impurities such as dusts, gases, vapora, fumes and smokes. (Air cleaners include air washers, air filters, electrostatic precipitators and charcoal, filters.)
Air Conditioning:.The process of treating air so as to control simultaneously its temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and distribution to meet the requirements of the conditioned space.
Air, Dry: In psychrometry, air unmixed with, or containing no, water vapor. Air, Saturated: A mixture of dry air and saturated water vapor, all at the same dry-bulb temperature. Air, Standard: Air with a density of 0.075 lb per cu ft and an absolute viscosity
X 10-5 lb mass per (ft) (see). This is substantially equivalent to dry air at 70 F and 29.92 in. (Hg) barometer. ^*5 Washer: An enclosure in which air is drawn or forced through a spray of water *n order to cleanse, humidify, or dehumidify the air.
Anemometer: An instrument for measuring the velocity of a fluid. ,^sPct Ratio: In air distribution outlets, the ratio of the length of the core of a grille, face or register to the width; In rectangular ducts, the ratio of the width to the depth, of f^mosP*ler*c Pressure: The pressure of the atmosphere to be measured by means l niv barometer. Standard Atmospheric Pressure or Standard Atmosphere is exactly t.013,250 dynes per square centimeter by recent action of the Tenth General Conerence on Weights and Measures (1954). It is approximately the pressure exerted y a column of mercury 76 cm high at standard gravitational acceleration, 980.665
