Stepping into the World of Fluid Dynamics

The most challenging class from my university days was a grad-level course on thermal convection. For four months, our professor rederived our favorite fluid mechanics equations using partial differential equations. (I scraped by with a C+ and learned just enough about Navier-Stokes equations to sound pretentious.)

What Is Moisture Depression?

Posted by Austin Campbell on February 10, 2026 at 9:00 AM

The Essentials of Airside Design With Active Chilled Beams

When it comes to designing an HVAC system, the moisture content of the air within a space is just as important as the supply air temperature. In a system with active chilled beams, the moisture content becomes a critical factor, so it is important to understand the concept of moisture depression.
