Zone 1 classified location An area where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids are likely to exist under normal operating conditions. As a guide for Zone 1, this can be defined as 10–1000 hours per year or 0.1–10% of the time. [3] Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2 classified locations
A major revision to the storm signal system took place in 1917 when the new local and non-local storm signal codes were introduced on 1 July. The new local code was the first numbered tropical cyclone signal system in Hong Kong, consisting of seven signals (1 to 7)providing a standby signal, gale signals in four directions (N'ly, S'ly, E'ly and W'ly), an increasing gale signal and a hurricane ...

24-hour maximum and minimum temperature. Follows RMK with nine digits starting with 4. The second and sixth digit equals 0 for positive for 1 for negative. Digits 3–5 equal the maximum temperature in tenths and the digits 7–9 equals the minimum temperature in tenths. This example value equals 23.4 °C (74 °F) and 12.3 °C (54 °F). 52006
The average temperature of July 2018 was 108.1 °F (42.3 °C), which is the highest temperature of any month for any place in the world. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Furnace Creek holds the record for the highest recorded temperature in the world, reaching 134 °F (56.7 °C) on July 10, 1913. [ 15 ]
In thermodynamics and solid-state physics, the Debye model is a method developed by Peter Debye in 1912 to estimate phonon contribution to the specific heat ( heat capacity) in a solid. [ 2] It treats the vibrations of the atomic lattice (heat) as phonons in a box in contrast to the Einstein photoelectron model, which treats the solid as many ...
Peter Sinks is a natural sinkhole in northern Utah that is one of the coldest places in the contiguous United States . Peter Sinks is located 8,100 feet (2,500 m) above sea level, in the Bear River Mountains about 20 mi (32 km) east of Logan, within the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Due to temperature inversions that trap cold nighttime air ...
