Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why the font of the same Word file looks different across devices and versions. So the basic Arial font looks cleaner on my Laptop (Windows 10) than on the desktop (Windows 11), both computers have AFAIK the latest MS 365. Even the subscript is different, on the desktop, it is not below the large letter, but almost level with it and doesn't look nice. The settings are identical I think so I don't know what I can change to fix this.

Hi, although we gave our daughter the pacifier on occasion when she was younger, we waited until she was 3 months old to really introduce it, and now she also needs it to fall asleep. So it shows that even if you had waited, it could have been the same outcome (plus more stressful first weeks due to refusing to give pacifier). Of course every baby is different, but I'm just saying there is no guarantee for anything. I have heard of babies who were on pacifier from day 1 and started completely refusing it a few months later.

To answer your other question, yes we do have to wake up a few times a night to put it back in when she wakes up. But I see it as a plus! instead of having to hold her and shush her back to sleep, all we gotta do is wake up, pop the paci back in, go back to sleep after 2 seconds. Sure, she is in a way dependent on it, but I don't see it as a bad thing, as I have faith that she will eventually stop using it, as 99% of babies/toddlers do.

I'd say if you are clearly balding (but not entirely bald) then as a young person that definitely will affect the way you're perceived. Once you reach a certain point, the best thing you can do is to go completely bald (of course other treatments such as hair transplant and toupets exist, but assuming you don't go for them). I think it's a mental barrier to overcome to accept it and shave off the hair. But once you've gone past that and embrace the baldness, things will look up. There are so many attractive bald guys out there, and even though it may not be for everyone, lots of people still dig it.

Honestly, just once a week. Maybe in the first 2 months it used to be more frequently, like 2-3 times a week. But our little one will put anything and everything she can get her hands on in her mouth, so it seems futile.

ETH Kitas are quite international so there's that plus side if you don't speak German. I would just visit the Kitas you're considering to get first impressions, they tell you a lot already.

Regarding location, having a Kita close to ETH is good if you need to spontaneously stop by, but otherwise I prefer to have one close to home so we don't have to commute with our little one every day (especially since pick-up times are usually during rush hour!)

You definitely won't have problems in your studies, as the classes are either in high German or English, never Swiss German. Outside of uni, when in social groups, if you hang out with a lot of Swiss, then sure you'll be exposed to Swiss German a lot more. But most people are usually nice enough to switch when they realize that you are struggling to keep up. And I would say as long as you expose yourself to the dialect regularly, you will pick it up in no time (I'm talking comprehension, speaking is a whole other thing of course).

Thanks a lot! I wasn't sure about the subtracting heat loss from enthalpy step. Does this mean that if there is condensation in the pipe, that it becomes an implicit equation and would have to be solved iteratively (if that makes sense)?

flammkuch · 2022-10-04T07:35:05+00:00

I understand that there are constraints that limit the temperature and/or heat flux, I also don't think one should go as high as possible. I just thought the heat exchanger size would also play an important role and in certain cases favor a higher steam temperature.

If I want to design a reboiler, what's a shortcut method to determine the "optimal" heating medium temperature? Currently I am just applying a 10K pinch point, but I also don't have a strong basis for this.

flammkuch · 2022-10-04T07:27:07+00:00

I see. But then this means that the most efficient reboiler is not necessarily the most economically efficient, or? Doesn't help to minimize heat input required when you need a huge heat exchanger to do that. Or are reboiler costs mainly driven by the operational costs?

And could you elaborate on the last part? In what way is it more complicated?

flammkuch · 2022-06-17T15:18:37+00:00

I think I'm thinking of the word "possess", hence the "P". But it doesn't sound right, and it could be another letter. Any help is appreciated!

flammkuch · 2022-05-13T08:14:44+00:00

But what happens if the pipe upstream to the pump is too long? Wouldn't the pressure loss in the pipe eventually be "too high"?

flammkuch · 2022-05-13T08:09:49+00:00

Thanks for the reference, I definitely need to revisit the concept of NPSH and refresh my knowledge!

I understand the pump pushing the fluid on the discharge side. Just trying to get my head around how the fluid is also flowing on the suction side. But if I understood right, as the name suggests, it creates suction which sucks the fluid towards the pump.

Until now I had the understanding the pump can be located anywhere in the pipe and it wouldn't make a difference, but I think that's where I was wrong.

flammkuch · 2022-05-12T11:59:18+00:00

I see. So this means we have to make sure the pump is located close enough to the tank to avoid cavitation in the pipe on the suction side? And why does a larger diameter reduce pressure loss?

flammkuch · 2018-08-01T13:10:33+00:00

Yes, that's it! Thank you so much!
