Extreme heat (and extreme cold) can significantly alter the effectiveness of prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Some medications can tolerate temperatures up to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 ...
Thermal comfort is the condition of mind that expresses subjective satisfaction with the thermal environment. [ 1] The human body can be viewed as a heat engine where food is the input energy. The human body will release excess heat into the environment, so the body can continue to operate. The heat transfer is proportional to temperature ...
An operating temperature is the allowable temperature range of the local ambient environment at which an electrical or mechanical device operates. The device will operate effectively within a specified temperature range which varies based on the device function and application context, and ranges from the minimum operating temperature to the maximum operating temperature (or peak operating ...
Retrieved 4 April 2018. 1.2.3.3 Definition of Room Temperature: According to the United States Pharmacopeia National Forumlary [ sic] (USP-NF), the definition of room temperature is between 15 and 30 °C in the United States. However, in the EU, the room temperature is defined as being 15 to 25 °C, while in Japan, it is defined being 1 to 30 °C.
Moisture vapor transmission rate ( MVTR ), also water vapor transmission rate ( WVTR ), is a measure of the passage of water vapor through a substance. It is a measure of the permeability for vapor barriers . There are many industries where moisture control is critical. Moisture sensitive foods and pharmaceuticals are put in packaging with ...
The breathing gas source may be the ambient atmosphere, compressed air supplied from a low pressure compressor in real time, oxygen enriched air supplied from an oxygen concentrator, [6] high-pressure stored compressed air, supercritical compressed air, [7] oxygen or blended gas mixtures, liquid oxygen, chemically generated oxygen, or a ...
Radiative cooling. In the study of heat transfer, radiative cooling[ 1][ 2] is the process by which a body loses heat by thermal radiation. As Planck's law describes, every physical body spontaneously and continuously emits electromagnetic radiation .
Flammable placard. A flammable liquid is a liquid which can be easily ignited in air at ambient temperatures, i.e. it has a flash point at or below nominal threshold temperatures defined by a number of national and international standards organisations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States Department of ...
