Airflow in Ducts PowerPoint Presentation Makes Teaching Easy

Airflow in Ducts PowerPoint Presentation from LAMA Books is not just another PowerPoint Program. It is a CD with eight separate lesson packages that let you give a very effective, easy-to-understand program on airflow in ducts. The accompanying binder for the instructor helps you make your students active participants in learning, not just passive observers. It includes:

• Instructor Notes for each PowerPoint slide, with items to discuss and questions and problems for students. Answers are included.
• Reproducible Review for each lesson that can be used as group exerecise or a test.
• Answers to the Review items. Where calculations are required, the complete calculation is included for reference.
• Reproducible handouts with reference material for some lessons.
• Reproducible list of equations used in the presentation for student reference.

The student will take away not just knowledge but also material to use for review and reference long after your presentation is over. You will provide them with five valuable handouts, including one that lists all the equations covered in the slides.

The PowerPoint Presentation includes eight topics:

Basics of Airflow
Calculating Duct Sizes
Air Quantity and Velocity
Pressures in a Duct
Airflow in a Duct and Dynamic Losses
Sizing Ductwork
Calculating Pressure Losses in a Duct
Duct Fittings

An accompanying text, Airflow in Ducts is also available. It can serve as a valuable reference and refresher for the students.

The Airflow in Ducts PowerPoint Presentation retails for $48. If purchased along with the Airflow in Ducts book, the cost is $68, a savings of $17 off the price of the book.
