Thermal Energy Storage used for off-peak cooling of buildings, has a long
history around the world with over 6,000 commercial installations in 35
countries. By storing cooling at night, in the form of ice or chilled
water, and using it during the day to cool the buildings, major reductions in
on-peak electric demand and energy costs are realized. This talk will
demonstrate the basic types of TES systems, how they save energy and reduce
costs and how this relates to the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED rating
system.
Mr. MacCracken is the CEO of
CALMAC Manufacturing Corporation, which is the largest manufacturer of Thermal
Energy Storage equipment in the world, with over 3,000 installations in 35
countries. In his 28 years with the firm, he has been involved in all
aspects of the company including, R&D contracts, patents, manufacturing,
marketing and finance. He was the Principal Investigator on research projects
with Oak Ridge National Labs, NASA and National Renewable Energy Research Lab.He has his BS in Mechanical Engineering, has three U.S. Patents and is a
licensed Professional Engineer in the state of New Jersey and a LEED Accredited
Professional. He is:Chairman of
ARI's Thermal Energy Storage Section, former Chairman of ASHRAE's Thermal
Storage Technical Committee, a Board Member of the New York Chapter of the US
Green Building Council, and an active member of the International District
Energy Association and the Alliance to Save Energy.
We INVITE YOU TO JOIN US ON May
5, 2005 at 7PM at Manhattan College
Please join the
Bronx Chapter NYSSPE and Tappan Zee AIChE on May 5, 2005 7:00 PM at Manhattan
College for an evening devoted to continuing education. Invitations have also
been sent to 174 PE’s residing in the Bronx who are not members of NYSSPE.
Jack Kleinfeld, PE,
of Kleinfeld Technical Services and President of the Bronx Chapter of New York
State Society of Professional Engineers (NYSSPE) will be presenting “IR
Thermography Applications for Engineering, Construction, and Testing.”The course is approved for 1.5 PDH’s.
Thermography is the
non-contact measurement of temperature utilizing an infrared thermal imaging
camera with applications ranging from the simple detection of overloaded circuit
breakers to analysis of complex engineering processes.
Appearing on the
same program will be Lou Errichiello, PE, VP – NYSSPE and Richard Heist, Dean
of Engineering of Manhattan College who will briefly discuss the new continuing
education law for Professional Engineers and how NYSSPE and Manhattan College
are helping PE’s meet the requirements.
A light buffet will
be served at 7PM and the program will start at 7:30 PM.
Registration by May
2, 2005 is required. For additional information or to register, please contact
Bronx Chapter Secretary Gee Eng, PE, on 718-543-2090 or by email to info@BxNSPE.org.
There is a
refreshment fee of $10 pp and the seminar fee is waived for NYSSPE and AIChE
members ($25 for non-members).

The New Engineering presents a science of engineering that is conceptually
and mathematically much simpler than conventional engineering. The simplicity
results from abandoning contrived parameters such as resistances and
coefficients, and dealing separately with the real parameters from which
resistances and coefficients are contrived.
Conventional engineering parameters such as electrical resistance R, heat
transfer coefficient h, and material modulus E are unnecessary and undesirable.
In the new engineering, all parameters such as R, h, E are abandoned. These
parameters are unnecessary because they are simply nicknames for ratios of real
parameters. They're undesirable because they greatly complicate the solution of
nonlinear problems. The complication arises because these ratios make it
necessary to solve problems with the variables combined, whereas it is much
easier to solve nonlinear problems if the variables are separated.
For example, if a heat transfer problem involving a boiling interface is
solved using h, the problem must be solved without separating heat flux and
temperature difference because h is the ratio of heat flux to temperature
difference. Because boiling interfaces exhibit highly nonlinear behavior,
problems that involve them are solved in a much simpler manner if heat flux and
temperature difference are separated. This separation can be accomplished only
if h is not used.
This talk will include several simple problems for the attendees to solve
while Mr. Adiutori remains silent. The problems are designed to demonstrate that
parameters such as R, h, E greatly complicate the solution of nonlinear
problems-for example, electrical problems that involve transistors, and heat
transfer problems that involve natural convection or boiling, and stress/strain
problems that involve inelastic behavior.
Try the attached examples and bring them to the talk! Problems

Update, November 16, 2004
Eugene F. Adiutori, our speaker on November
9, 2004 has graciously provided a copy of his book, The
New Engineering, for use on our website. It is available as a pdf
file.
If you missed the meeting, or were there and would like to learn more about
this interesting approach to engineering calculations, you should read this
book.

High
levels of indoor radon are found in every state. All sources of ground
watercontain some
level of radon, and in some instances, can contribute significantly tothe level of
indoor radon. We know from medical and environmental studies thatradon is a
health risk, primarily as a cause of lung cancer. Because levels of radonvary from place
to place, and because houses differ in their vulnerability to radon,it is important
that all homes be measured for radon. This presentation will discussradon basics;
what it is, how it forms, and how it moves through the ground or iscarried by
water into buildings, and explains some of the risks involved in exposureto radon and
radioactive materials.
