Enhancing Worker Comfort in High-Heat Environments: A Triangular Bladeless Cooling Fan Approach
Abstract: Workers in high-heat industrial environments frequently encounter thermal stress, fatigue, and dehydration, which significantly impact both productivity and safety. Existing cooling solutions such as pedestal fans, ceiling fans, and central air-cooling systems often fall short due to limited airflow reach, safety concerns from exposed blades, high energy consumption, and poor suitability for dynamic workshop layouts. To address these challenges, this study presents a novel triangular bladeless fan designed specifically for …

Understanding Airborne Pathogens: Pathways, Risks, and Control Strategies
Abstract: Airborne transmission is the transfer of germs through the air, mostly by respiratory droplets and aerosols that come out when you cough, sneeze, talk, or breathe. These particles can stay in the air for a long time and move a long way, especially in small or poorly ventilated places. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, measles virus, varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox), influenza virus, and more recently, SARS-CoV-2 are all infections that can be spread through …
