Introduction

Pumps installed in fire engines either hoses out water from the fire tanker or suck water from a source such as fire hydrants, lakes, or pools. Different mechanisms control the pumping of water from a water source to the scene of the fire. Usually, a 6 inch suction pipe is used to extract water out of the water tank or an external water source. The water is then discharged out through exit lines or hoses with a certain force to eventually quench the fire.

Abstract

This paper discusses and examines thermodynamics concepts and systems, particularly air conditioners. The principles upon which these systems are built, namely the first and the second thermodynamics laws are analyzed. Air conditioner performance and efficiency is also examined under the two laws. The second law of thermodynamics helps in determining the effectiveness of thermodynamics-based systems and is used in this paper to determine the efficiency of air conditioners. This paper finally makes recommendations based on calculations that determine the levels of efficiency of air conditioners.
