## Refrigeration: Data Collection

This step of an assessment is performed at the plant. The section is organized into two sections: a description of the data necessary to evaluate refrigeration equipment and tools needed to collect the data and methods to do so.
    Standard Refrigeration Data
    Standard Refrigeration Data Collection Tools
# Energy Efficiency Reference/Leftovers

I've decided to organize the reference into 4 sectors, as is seen on the TOC. I think this will help in focusing users onto the proper topics, and avoid confusion as these 4 sectors have general differences. However, it is okay to link to common recommendations between sectors (ex. lighting, would be a standard between all 4, but row crop irrigation would only be in agriculture) --Michael Koch (talk) 21:45, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

## Assessing Industrial Refrigeration Efficiency

This guide serves as an aid for assessing industrial refrigeration efficiency. Included is a method for estimating cost savings from reducing the work done by compressors, fans, and pumps in a refrigeration system. This guide is organized into the following sections.

### Technology Primer

This is a short overview on identifying refrigeration systems and equipment. Read this section before reviewing a refrigeration system as a reminder of what to look for and why.

### Walkthrough Checklist

Use this checklist in the initial review to identify potential opportunities for refrigeration efficiency increases. Seven common opportunities are covered in greater detail in Section 5; recommendations.

### Data Collection

Collecting the right data is key to an effective assessment. This section describes tools and data specific to refrigeration system. Data sheets are included that you can use to collect the needed information.

### Data Sheet

Data sheets are included that you can use to collect the necessary data.

### Power & Energy

This section presents analysis tools and techniques that will be used later in analyzing different recommendations. Section 6 of this guide: " Recommendations", outlines the required procedures and concepts. These equations and calculations are referred to in analyzing the different recommendations.

### Recommendations

This section presents seven common energy saving opportunities in a vapor-compression refrigeration system. Each recommendation includes a list of data to collect and a method to estimate savings. Assessments are important since decisions to implement system improvements generally depend on economics. Examine each recommendation and note which data you will need to collect.

### Appendix

The appendix includes more detail of refrigeration systems and common recommendation. Topics include: refrigerants and their properties, simple and complex system information, dynamics and control, and further information on each of the recommendations.

One can use Maxima CAS to find it :
sin(Z) =
$Real=\sin(x)((\exp(y)+\exp(-y))/2)$
$Imag=\cos(x)((\exp(y)-\exp(-y))/2)$
cos(Z)
$Real=\cos(x)((\exp(y)+\exp(-y))/2)$
$Imag=-\sin(x)((\exp(y)-\exp(-y))/2)$
sinh(Z)
$Real=\cos(y)((\exp(x)-\exp(-x))/2)$
$Imag=\sin(y)((\exp(x)+\exp(-x))/2)$
cosh(Z)
$Real=\cos(y)((\exp(x)+\exp(-x))/2)$
$Imag=\sin(y)((\exp(x)-\exp(-x))/2)$

# Gujarati/Gujarat
## Introduction

Ever since its inception, Gujarat has been showing a new direction to the nation during the last 43 years. It is conquering new grounds and is still at ease with the Number One position among different states in the country. In the 21st Century, its goal is to be compared with the economic growth rate of developed nations.
Area : 1,96,024 km$^2$ Population : 50,671,017 Capital : Gandhinagar Principal Languages : Gujarati

## History and Geography

The history of Gujarat goes back to 2000 BC. It is believed that Lord Krishna left Mathura to settle on the west coast of Saurashtra, which later came to be known as Dwarka, the gateway. Later, it saw various kingdoms: Mauryas, Guptas, Pratiharas and others. It was with Chalukya (Solankis) that Gujarat witnessed progress and prosperity. In spite of the plundering of Mahmud Ghazni, the Chalukya kings were able to maintain general prosperity and well-being of the State. After this glorious respite, Gujarat faced troubled times under the Muslims, Marathas and the British rule. Before Independence, the present territories of Gujarat used to be in two parts, the British and the Princely territories. With the re-organisation of the States, the Union of the States of Saurashtra and the Union Territory of Kachchh along with the former British, Gujarat became a part of the biggest bilingual State of Bombay. The present State of Gujarat came into being on May, 1960. It is situated on the west coast of India. The state is bounded by the Arabian Sea on the west, Pakistan and Rajasthan in the north and north-east respectively, Madhya Pradesh in the south-east and Maharashtra in the south.

# Gujarati

The Gujarati language is an Indo-European language spoken in Gujarat, a state in Western India, and in many countries where Indians have emigrated. It is written from left to right with a specific alphabet similar to Devanagari, which is used to write Hindi and Sanskrit. This alphabet is in fact an abugida of 47 characters. Gujarati is a phonetic language with very few exceptions.

# Gujarati/Future

The future tense in Gujarati is formed from the stem by adding the following endings:
Example: કરવું (karvu)
હું કરીશ આપડે કરશું
તું કરશે તમે કરશો
એ કરશે એ લોકો કરશે

Though Gujarati has its own set of numeric signs (placed alongside their Hindu-Arabic [or Indo-Arabic] counterparts in the tables below), they are employed in much the same way as English employs its own; that is to say, they are put together in the same manner in order to express larger numbers. It is quite possible to simply substitute the Gujarati numerals for the Hindu-Arabic ones.
The Gujarati words for 1–10 are as follows:
| Hindu-Arabic numeral | English Word | English Name | Gujarati numeral | Gujarati name |
| 0 | zero | જીરો | ૦ | શૂન્ય |
| 1 | One | વન | ૧ | એક |
| 2 | Two | ટુ | ૨ | બે |
| 3 | Three | થ્રી | ૩ | ત્રણ |
| 4 | Four | ફોર | ૪ | ચાર |
| 5 | Five | ફાઇવ | ૫ | પાંચ |
| 6 | Six | સિક્સ | ૬ | છ |
| 7 | Seven | સેવન | ૭ | સાત |
| 8 | Eight | એઇટ | ૮ | આઠ |
| 9 | Nine | નાઇન | ૯ | નવ |
| 10 | Ten | ટેન | ૧૦ | દસ |
The words for eleven through nineteen are completely irregular in Gujarati. Though they do bear some resemblance to their 1–10 counterparts, they must simply be individually memorized:
| Hindu-Arabic numeral | Gujarati numeral | Gujarati name |
| 11 | ૧૧ | અગિયાર agiyaar |
| 12 | ૧૨ | બાર baar |

Gujarati is a language with grammatical gender. There are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
Nouns can often, but by no means always, be identified as to their gender according to their ending. These same gender-linked suffixes are used to make adjectives, verbs, and even adverbs agree with nouns in Gujarati sentences.
| | Singular | Plural |

# Growing Edible Sprouts/Introduction

Growing Edible Sprouts is the practice of soaking, draining and then rinsing edible seeds at regular intervals until they germinate, or sprout, into an edible sprout.
# Growing Edible Sprouts/Jars

Growing sprouts in a jar is very simple and does not require any specialized equipment, but certain minor equipment makes growing sprouts easier and cleaner.
One method for growing alfalfa sprouts in jars uses
* quart-size wide-mouth mason jar
* perforated lid
* 2 tablespoons sprouting seed
* bowl
* strainers
* paper towel
* storage container (quart-size zip-lock bag works well)
* Put the seeds in the mason jar and add a few of inches of cool water. Swirl the seeds around in the jar to get rid of bubbles clinging to the seeds. Put the perforated lid on. Soak the seeds overnight.
* The next morning, drain off the water. Rinse the seeds 3 or 4 times with fresh cool water. Drain off the water and shake the jar upside down a few times to get any extra water out. Sit the jar upright. Do not put it in direct sunlight.
* Every 12 hours (8 a.m. and 8 p.m. usually works well), rinse the sprouts 2-3 times with fresh water and drain or shake the extra water out before setting the jar upright. Do this for five days.
* Fill a big bowl with water. Take the lid off the jar and pull the sprouts into the bowl. Separate the clumps of sprouts. Push the seed hulls to the side of the bowl (or skim them off), and lift out the sprouts. Put the sprouts in a strainer, rinse them, let them drain, then lay the sprouts on a paper towel for a few hours to dry. When they are dry to the touch, put them in a sealed container in the fridge.
# Growing Edible Sprouts/Seeds

One of the most common sprouts is that of the mung bean (Vigna radiata), often sold as ‘Chinese Bean Sprouts’; another common sprout is the alfalfa sprout.
Other seeds that can be sprouted for eating include adzuki bean, almond, amaranth, annatto seed, anise seed, arugula, barley, basil, navy bean, pinto bean, lima bean, broccoli, buckwheat, cabbage, canola seed, caragana, cauliflower, celery, chia seed, chickpeas, chives, cilantro (coriander), clover, cress, dill, fennel, fenugreek, flax seed, garlic, hemp seed, kale, kamut, kat, leek, green lentils, pearl millet, mizuna, mustard, oats, onion, black-eyed peas, green peas, pigeon peas, snow peas, peanut, psyllium, pepita (pumpkin seeds), quinoa, radish, rye, sesame, soybean, spelt, sunflower, tatsoi, triticale, watercress, and wheat berries.
Many sprouts are not edible, such as kidney beans. Before eating any sprouts, find out if that species is edible as a sprout. Also, be sure that the seeds are intended for sprouting or human consumption rather than sowing. Seeds intended for sowing may be treated with chemical dressings. Several countries, such as New Zealand, also require that some varieties of edible seed be heat-treated, thus making them impossible to sprout.
Many varieties of nuts, such as almonds and peanuts, can also be started in their growth cycle by soaking and sprouting, although because the sprouts are generally still very tiny when eaten, they are usually called "soaks."
# Grsecurity

grsecurity is a set of patches for the Linux kernel with an emphasis on enhancing security. It allows the system administrator to, among other things, define a least privilege policy for the system, in which every process and user have only the lowest privileges needed to function.
This book is intended as a comprehensive up-to-date user guide about setting up and administrating a grsecurity-enabled system.

# Growing Edible Sprouts/Water and Air

Moisture, warmth, and in most cases, indirect sunlight are necessary for sprouting. Some sprouts, such as mung beans, can be grown in the dark. Little time, effort or space is needed to make sprouts.
To sprout seeds, the seeds are moistened, then left at room temperature (between 13 and 21 degrees Celsius) in a sprouting vessel. Many different types of vessels can be used. One type is a simple glass jar with a piece of cloth secured over its rim. ‘Tiered’ clear plastic sprouters are commercially available, allowing a number of "crops" to be grown simultaneously. By staggering sowings, a constant supply of young sprouts can be ensured. Any vessel used for sprouting must allow water to drain from it, because sprouts that sit in water will rot quickly. The seeds will swell and begin germinating within a day or two.
Sprouts are rinsed as little as twice a day, but possibly three or four times a day in hotter climates, to prevent them from souring. Each seed has its own ideal sprouting time. Depending on which seed is used, after three to five days they will have grown to two or three inches in length and will be suitable for consumption. If left longer they will begin to develop leaves, and are then known as baby greens. A popular baby green is sunflower after 7-10 days. The growth process of any sprout can be slowed or halted by refrigerating until needed.
