  2. Bang–bang control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang–bang_control

    A water heater that maintains desired temperature by turning the applied power on and off (as opposed to continuously varying electrical voltage or current) based on temperature feedback is an example application of bang–bang control. Although the applied power switches from one discrete state to another, the water temperature will remain ...

  3. Temperature control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_control

    Temperature measuring and controlling module for microcontroller experiment. Temperature control is a process in which change of temperature of a space (and objects collectively there within), or of a substance, is measured or otherwise detected, and the passage of heat energy into or out of the space or substance is adjusted to achieve a desired temperature.

  4. Thermostatic mixing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostatic_mixing_valve

    Allows water to be stored at a higher temperature; Group Control. These provide a uniform distribution temperature for all hot water outlets in a household. Designed for multi-point applications; High flow rates (from 14 to 51 US gallons per minute (53 to 193 L/min) at 45 pounds per square inch (3.1 bar)) Temperature stability; Point-of-Use

  5. Joule–Thomson effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule–Thomson_effect

    In thermodynamics, the Joule–Thomson effect (also known as the Joule–Kelvin effect or Kelvin–Joule effect) describes the temperature change of a real gas or liquid (as differentiated from an ideal gas) when it is expanding; typically caused by the pressure loss from flow through a valve or porous plug while keeping it insulated so that no heat is exchanged with the environment.

  6. Automatic balancing valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_balancing_valve

    Pressure independent control valves are an essential part of the hydronic control in chilled water applications. They are simple to select and easy to set. They are simple to select and easy to set. They enable a steady pressure, a steady flow and most importantly a steady room temperature.

  7. Pitzer equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitzer_equations

    They can be used to calculate mixed ion activity coefficients and water activities in solutions of high ionic strength for which the Debye–Hückel theory is no longer adequate. They are more rigorous than the equations of specific ion interaction theory (SIT theory), but Pitzer parameters are more difficult to determine experimentally than ...

    The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now." [7] In 2008, the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies published FASTS Statement on Climate Change, which states, Global climate change is real and measurable. ...

  9. Industrial process control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_process_control

    Historical milestones in the development of industrial process control began in ancient civilizations, where water level control devices were used to regulate water flow for irrigation and water clocks. During the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, there was a growing need for precise control over boiler pressure in steam engines.
