The Global Footprint Network’s annual report shows that humanity is consuming resources faster than the planet can produce them, with Earth Overshoot Day occurring on August 2 in 2018. Many industrial nations have oversized ecological footprints, and reducing carbon emissions, plastic waste, and meat consumption can help delay Earth Overshoot Day. However, the date has […]
To determine the size of a pulley, measure its diameter with a tape measure. Pulleys in a system can have different sizes, and ratios can optimize efficiency. Manufacturers list pulley sizes, and measuring by hand is easy. The ratio of pulley sizes can determine the unknown size. Measuring the height of the cylindrical portion is […]

Two methods for determining the correct size of HVAC ducts are the equal friction method and the static recovery method. Other factors such as cubic feet per minute, total length of the system, and proper connections are important. Software programs can be used to calculate duct size. The choice of duct type affects the layout […]
HVAC ducts carry air throughout a building and must be sized properly for adequate airflow. Methods include Manual J, a computer program, researching ideal temperatures and sizes, and using a ductor device. Building layout and duct design also play a role in determining size. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) ducts are large pipes that […]
Pulley dimensions include belt length, speed ratio, and belt pitch diameter. Belt length can be measured with a string and measuring tape. Speed ratio can be calculated using RPM or pulley circumferences. Pitch diameter is difficult to measure, but speed ratio is important for determining mechanical advantage. Pitch diameter can be found in manuals or […]

Maximum segment size determines the largest amount of data a device can handle without breaking it into smaller components. It affects web page loading speed and online functions. MTU size determines maximum segment size, which is calculated by subtracting header size from MTU size. If the segment is too large, it will be fragmented and […]
The sun is 100 times the diameter of Earth and can fit about 1 million Earths inside. The sun’s mass accounts for 99.86% of the solar system. About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the sun if empty space wasn’t needed. VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star. It is estimated that about 1 […]
