Reduced Condenser-Water Flow Rate: Energy-Saving Miracle or Mirage?

The conventional design of air-conditioning plants using large-tonnage chillers calls for a condenser-water flow rate of 3 gallons-perminute-per-ton-of-refrigeration (GPM/TR). For years, this standard has been thought to offer a good balance between first cost and energy cost. Recently, this conventional design has been challenged by proponents of a 2 GPM/TR design. These proponents suggest tha...

From this point of view, Prophetic morals has been known a kind of miracle, with which is currently dealt in theological works.

Johnson's orientation emphasized the continuity between pre and post war policy development in the formation of Japanese industrial policy. This paper is based on complementary resear...

Brane Cosmology, Varying Speed of Light and Inflation in Models with One or More Extra Dimensions *

We summarise the approach to brane cosmology known as " mirage cosmology " and use it to determine the Friedmann equation on a 3-brane embedded in different bulk spacetimes all with one or more extra dimensions. Usually, when there is more than one extra dimension the junction conditions, central to the usual brane world scenarios, are difficult to apply. This problem does not arise in mirage c...
