AI Thread Summary
Radiant flooring, or underfloor heating, primarily utilizes electrical resistance heaters or circulated water to provide warmth. Users seeking more specific information should clarify their queries, as general resources may not address particular concerns. For detailed design criteria and installation instructions, consulting manufacturer websites is recommended. It's essential to consider standard heat loss prevention methods, including managing conduction, convection, and radiation losses. Understanding these elements is crucial for effective radiant heating system implementation.

That link seemed pretty specific. The most common systems in use are electrical resistance heaters or circulated water heat. What exactly do you want to know?

You need to be specific about the lack of specificity.
 
If you are looking for specific design criteria, you'll be wise to do an online search and seek some manufacturer websites...same for specific installation instructions...

all standard criteria for heat loss prevention still apply...handling conduction, convection and radiation losses...
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
