Adiabatic cooling is the process of reducing heat through a change in air pressure caused by volume expansion. In data centers and other facilities, adiabatic processes have enabled free cooling ...

Every year, the amount of electronic data that companies process and store grows exponentially. Data centers cannot economically increase the physical space available to keep pace with the growth, and ...

INVESTIGATIONS into the spontaneous ignition of hydrocarbon–air mixtures by adiabatic compression are being made. It has been found that there are at least two types of ignition possible with ...
