1 Applied Thermodynamics for Marine Systems Prof. P. K. Das Department of Mechanical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur Lecture - 7 Ideal Gas Laws, Different Processes Let us continue with our discussion on the steam table. More or less, we have discussed most of the important features of the steam table. I just like to give one example to study how it looks and what are the values that we get. (Refer Slide Time: 01:24) The steam table is temperature based and we will have the columns like this: t p v f v g and v fg. We will have h f h g h fg s f and s g. Due to shortage of space I will not write down the units here. Let us take the example of steam properties at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. If we refer the steam table we have to go for temperature value at 100. Once we specify this, other values can be directly read from this steam table. The pressure we will find is in kilo Pascal and the value we will see that is This is the pressure value. We know at 100 degrees Celsius the water boils under atmospheric pressure; basically, this is the atmospheric pressure. The corresponding specific volume of a saturated liquid will be meter cube per kg, corresponding specific 1
2 volume of steam that will be ; v fg one can calculate, I am not giving the value. h f, which is the enthalpy of the saturated liquid at 100 degree Celsius at atmospheric pressure will be that is kilo Joule per kg; h g will be kilo Joule per kg and h fg will be kilo Joule per kg. s f will be kilo Joule per kg Kelvin and s g will be These are the values that we will get. That means at atmospheric pressure or at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius the latent heat of evaporation or condensation is kilo Joule per kg or for the evaporation of 1 kg of water at 100 degrees Celsius to 1 kg of vapor at 100 degrees Celsius, we will need this amount of thermal energy. If we see this steam table we will see that the h fg values will go on decreasing with temperature. As we go for higher temperatures or higher values of pressure we will see this value of h fg will go on decreasing and it will diminish at the critical point. As I have said earlier, at the critical point there is no demarcation between the liquid phase and the vapour phase. We will see that, gradually, the latent heat or the difference of enthalpy between the saturated liquid state and the saturated vapour state will go diminishing and will vanish at the critical point. That is what we will find. The same thing happens in case of the specific volume. The difference between the specific volumes will be higher at low pressure and low temperature but as we go towards the critical point this difference will go on diminishing and will vanish at the critical point. This is for the first part of the steam table where we have got property data for the saturated liquid and saturated vapour. Now, in this steam table we have three parts as I have mentioned a number of times. 2
3 (Refer Slide Time: 07:38) This part is liquid, this part is a mixture of liquid plus vapour, this part is vapour or superheated vapour. This liquid part is known as either sub-cooled liquid or the compressed liquid. Why is it called sub-cooled liquid? (Refer Slide Time: 08:15) Let us take this part in detail and then explain. Let us take the help of a TS diagram. This is the TS diagram and here we are having a constant pressure line like this; p is constant. We are 3
4 interested in determining the property of a liquid sample at p star t star. We are interested in that. This is actually p star, pressure and t star, temperature. Let us say through p star t star, if I pass a constant pressure line this will be something like this and a constant temperature line is something like this. This is your t star. This is your p star line and this is your t star line. For p star we are having the saturation temperature at let us say, T dash. Corresponding to p star the saturation temperature is at T dash. What is the relationship between t star and T dash? T dash is definitely higher compared to T star. That is why this state is sub-cooled state. Corresponding to the pressure the temperature is below the saturation temperature. This is in sub-cooled state. That is why we call the liquid state as sub-cooled state or sub-cooled liquid. If I take T star we can send through T star a constant pressure line and the constant pressure will be something like this. Let us call this constant pressure line or constant pressure as p 1. What is the relationship between p 1 and p star? p star is greater than p 1. If we take this temperature corresponding to the temperature, the saturation pressure is p 1 but the pressure of the liquid is more than the saturation pressure. That is why this liquid is also called compressed liquid. The liquid state is denoted either as a sub-cooled liquid state or compressed liquid state. (Refer Slide Time: 12:26) The property at sub-cooled liquid state will be a function of pressure and temperature. In general, this is true as I have discussed earlier that for a pure substance if it is in a single phase condition, 4
5 then the property will be dependent on two independent thermodynamic properties. Two independent thermodynamic properties which are easy to measure are pressure and temperature. Any property of the sub-cooled liquid state can be expressed as a function of pressure and temperature. But what has been seen is that the liquid property or property of the sub-cooled liquid is a weak function operation whereas, it varies with temperature. For determining the property of the sub-cooled liquid what do we do? This t star and p star, though these two independent conditions or state of this sample is given, we determine the property at the saturated state corresponding to t star. We do not bother what its pressure is. If we know the temperature then the saturated liquid property corresponding to that temperature, we take as the property of the sub-cooled liquid. That is how the liquid property is determined or the property of the sub-cooled liquid state is determined. Here, the temperature is the only concern. The temperature we take and corresponding to that saturation temperature we determine the property. We have our steam table. Here the properties are given for saturated liquid condition. We can determine the property using the table very easily. I have described how we can determine the property of the subcooled liquid state. Then, we go for property of liquid and vapour. (Refer Slide Time: 15:03) 5
6 Here also, I have already described how using the saturated properties and the dryness fraction the property at any point in this two phase region or in the mixer region can be determined. Here also, we do not have any difficulty. Then, we go to the other side of the dome, the right hand side of the dome which is the superheated vapour region. The property of super heated vapour will be a function of two independent thermodynamic properties and as I have mentioned, the pressure and temperature are two independent properties which can be measured easily, based on which other properties can be expressed. So, this is a function of pressure and temperature. Here, we cannot make any compromise. The property of the superheated vapour depends both on pressure and temperature. In the second part of the steam table we have the property of superheated vapour or superheated steam. (Refer Slide Time: 16:45) The second part of the steam table will give you the property of superheated steam. Again, they are functions of pressure and temperature and it is generally tabulated in this form. Let us take a particular value, let us say, the pressure value is given. That means we have the tabulation of steam properties at this 0.10 mega Pascal. The pressure is equal to this value. This gives the saturation temperature of degrees Celsius. We can have the tabulation of the property of superheated steam for a pressure of 0.1 mega Pascal, which corresponds to saturation temperature of degrees Celsius. The table looks like this. We will have values at different temperatures. What property values will we have? 6
7 We will have specific volume, we will have enthalpy and we will have entropy. This is in degree Celsius, this is in meter cube per kg, this is kilo Joule per kg and this is kilo Joule per kg Kelvin. First, we will have saturation temperature. We will have 14.64, then , Actually this is the property of saturated vapour. Then, we can have at 50 degrees Celsius, the saturation temperature is degrees Celsius; 50 degree Celsius means it is superheated. Then it is , and Similarly, one can have values at 100, at 150 and on. This is how the property table for superheated steam looks like and in the first part of the steam table where properties of saturated liquid or saturated fluid is tabulated and in the second part of the steam table where the properties of superheated vapour is tabulated, there at some regular interval the property values are given. That means, for in between parameter values if we have to determine the property we have to go for interpolation and we go for linear interpolation. This will be clear when we solve some problems and probably sometimes we have to go for double linear interpolation, which means linear interpolation we have to do for two different parameters. That is what we will learn when we will solve some problems. This is all regarding the description of steam table. Steam tables are available from different publishers and we can get any one of them which is in SI system and use them for solving problems. The purpose that is served by this steam table, almost the same type of calculation one can do using a Mollier diagram or h x diagram. The only thing is that in h x diagram, sometimes, we have to read in between the graduation and so we have to take some sort of high estimations and that may induce some sort of an error. We have to draw some diagram and from that diagram we have to take the readings. Some sort of error may creep in due to the geometrical construction, due to high estimations, etc. But in general those errors are negligibly small. If one is careful then those errors are small. In general one can use either a steam table or a Mollier diagram. But it is always advisable if you are using a Mollier diagram, then you sketch the process. Whatever you are using for calculating the property values on the Mollier diagram, you have to give the sketch also in the answer scripts or in your verbal description of the process. That sketch has to be a written description of the process, you have to give that sketch; that is mandatory. So that is it regarding the steam table and calculations regarding the steam table. 7
8 (Refer Slide Time: 24:01) If we see the property of the pure substance and any standard thermodynamic diagram if we consider, like the TS diagram, we have got the critical point here. This is C or critical point; this is a constant pressure curve. Through the critical point you will have a curve like this; beyond the critical point you will have a curve like this. If the state of the fluid is such that it is somewhere above the critical point, then, we consider it to be a gas. In our engineering thermodynamics we will get lot of examples or in day-to-day engineering practice we will get lot of examples where a gas is the working substance for the equipment or for the engineering cycle which we are operating. We should have some idea regarding the properties of gas and different processes involving gas as the working medium. Though the behavior of a gas can be different at different ranges of pressure and temperature, there is some sort of idealization. 8
9 (Refer Slide Time: 26:07) When we talk of an ideal gas we have some sort of idealization. From physics point of view or from a molecular point of view, there are certain assumptions by which this idealization can be made. I will not go into those. But the macroscopic behavior which describes the ideal gas, that behavior we are familiar with and that is given by a very well known law like this. For an ideal gas we can write pv is equal to nrt. This is the ideal gas law. Though one may argue that no gas is ideal, because if we go through the assumptions which are made for ideal gas, we will see that they do not hold good for any of the gases but we will see that there are ranges of pressure and temperature, where lot many gases behave like ideal gases. We use this law and we analyze different engineering processes. This is known as law for ideal gas. What are the different symbols here? p is the pressure, V is volume, n is number of molecules, R bar is universal gas constant and T is the absolute temperature. These are the symbols of pressure, volume, number of molecules, universal gas constant and absolute temperature. 9
10 (Refer Slide Time: 29:12) It denotes a closed system, something like this piston cylinder arrangement. It can be some other arrangement also but basically, it is a closed system where the mass of the gas remains constant. Then, the volume, pressure and temperature can vary and we have methods for measuring them. If we can measure them, then for any particular measurement pressure, volume and temperature will follow. This is the gas whose mass remains constant. Piston movement is possible and we can measure the pressure, volume and temperature. At any instant, the pressure, volume and temperature will follow this type of a relationship. This is valid for any ideal gas. The universal gas constant R or R bar, whatever I have written its value is kilo Joule per kg mol Kelvin. This is the value of the universal gas constant. 10
11 (Refer Slide Time: 31:00) The law which I have written is pv is equal to nrt or nr bar T. This can be rewritten in this form as pv is equal to mrt where, n I have replaced by this formula m by mu. m is the mass of the sample of gas. The gas which is confined in this piston cylinder arrangement, m is the mass of that sample of gas and mu is the molecular weight of the gas sample, R is characteristic gas constant. This is the characteristic gas constant. What we have got here, let me write down once again different relationships. (Refer Slide Time: 32:43) 11
12 pv is equal to nrt. In other words we can write pv is equal to mrt where n is equal m by mu. In the next step, we can bring m on the left hand side. So, pv by m is equal to RT or pv is equal to RT. This is your specific volume. These are the different forms of ideal gas law. Sometimes this is also called combined Boyle s and Charle s law as you know from our elementary physics. This law we will use for determining different properties and determining work done heat transfer etc., using thermodynamics laws. (Refer Slide Time: 34:21) Basically, we want to do thermodynamic analysis of reversible processes with compressible fluid, which is nothing but a gas as the working medium. We can start or we can take the example of different processes and then we can analyze. In this analysis we will use the first law of thermodynamics that is, we will use dq is equal to du plus dw. Second, we will use the relationship for entropy. What is that? dq by T reversible is equal to ds; this we will use. Third, we will use relationships for specific heats. 12
13 (Refer Slide Time: 37:25) How can we express the relationship of specific heat dq? Let us say, this dq is equal to C p. First let us see C v delta T for constant volume process. This we can write volume is equal to constant and this also is equal to du internal energy. Then we can have dq pressure is equal to constant is equal to C p dt is equal to dh. That we will see. Then fourth, we will use the equation of state that we have discussed just now, that is pv is equal to RT. These are the relationships which we will use for determining or for the thermodynamic analysis of a reversible processes with compressible fluid that is a gas as the working substance. Let us start with some simple process and see how you can proceed. 13
14 (Refer Slide Time: 39:37) First, let us take a constant volume process. Let us try to plot the constant volume process on a pv diagram. This is a pv diagram. In a constant volume process, volume will remain constant. Either one can have this to be the initial point and this to be the final point or reverse. That means either the process can go from 2 to 1 or 1 to 2; this is a constant volume process. If it is a constant volume process, first let us try to apply the equation of state. One can write p 1 v 1 is equal to RT 1 and again p 2 v 2 is equal to RT 2. This is valid for any thermodynamic process. This, we have not written for a constant volume process or constant pressure process, but this is valid for any two end states 1 and 2, we can write these relationships and if it is a constant volume process then we can get v 1 is equal to v 2. If v 1 is equal to v 2, this is a constant volume process, then we get p 1 by p 2 is equal to T 1 by T 2. This is the property relationship for a constant volume process, p 1 by p 2 is equal to T 1 by T 2. Next we go for the work done, 1 W 2 in a constant volume process. 14
15 (Refer Slide Time: 42:21) 1W 2 is equal to, for a compressible fluid, 1 to 2 pdv. pdv gives you the work done during the process. As dv is equal to 0, change in volume is equal to 0, we will have 1 W 2 is equal to 0. This comes from this diagram also. If it is a constant volume process then the area under the curve is 0. The work done during this process will also be equal to 0. The work done during a constant volume process for a fixed mass system is equal to 0. What is 1 Q 2? What is the heat transfer during this process? For the heat transfer during this process, we can apply the first law of thermodynamics. 1 Q 2 is equal to U 2 minus U 1 plus 1 W 2. This is equal to 0 and in this case, this will be C v T 2 minus T 1. That is how we will get the heat transfer during this process. This is again equal to the change in internal energy. What is the change of entropy during this process? The change of entropy will be S 2 minus S 1 and that is equal to dq by T that is equal to 1 to 2 C v dt by T and then we can write C v dt by T 1 to 2. 15
16 (Refer Slide Time: 45:10) S 2 minus S 1 is equal to C v ln T 2 by T 1. We have started with a constant volume process which is one of the basic process, simplest process involving a compressible fluid. We can determine the property relationships and then we can determine the work done, the heat transfer and the change in entropy. Similarly, we can proceed with other processes. The second process let us take as a constant pressure process. Before doing that, if we know this is the change in entropy S 2 minus S 1, how can we plot the process on a TS plane? This is your T and this is your S; TS plane. On TS plane how do we plot this? How will this process look on the TS plane? It is some sort of a logarithmic or exponential relationship. We will have something like this; 1 to 2. This is 1, this is 2, so, we will have a process like this. Either we can a have a cooling process or a heating process something like this. The next process which we can think of is a constant pressure process. 16
17 (Refer Slide Time: 47:12) A constant pressure process, again it is easier to visualize in a pv plane. You will have p 1 is equal to p 2. If p 1 is equal to p 2, then from the equation of a state we can get a relationship between v and T. p 1 v 1 by T 1 is equal to p 2 v 2 by T 2 and p 1 and p 2 are equal. So we get v 1 by v 2 is equal to T 1 by T 2. This is the property relationship for a constant pressure process. Next we can determine the work done. 1 W 2 that is equal to integration 1 to 2 pdv. Here, p remains constant. Actually p 1 is equal to p 2 is equal to p. At any point during the process one can take this p outside the integration sign and 1 to 2 dv this will become p v 2 minus v 1. As we have discussed earlier, this work done will be given by the rectangular area under the constant pressure curve. This is how we will get the work done during the constant pressure process. What is the heat transfer? 17
18 (Refer Slide Time: 50:01) 1Q 2 that is equal to U 2 minus U 1 plus 1 W 2 and this is equal to C v T 2 minus T 1 plus p v 2 minus v 1. Then, one can write it like this: C v T 2 minus T 1 plus p 2 v 2 minus p 1 v 1. One can express it like this C v into T 2 minus T 1 plus, what is p 2 v 2? p 2 v 2 is equal to RT 2 minus RT 1 and this is C v into T 2 minus T 1 plus R into T 2 minus T 1. So this is C v plus R into T 2 minus T 1. This quantity is nothing but C p. So, basically it is C p into T 2 minus T 1 or one can write it in terms of enthalpy. This is h 2 minus h 1. Heat transfer during the constant pressure process, we can determine by either of these formulae; either it is C p T 2 minus T 1 or this is nothing but the change in enthalpy that is h 2 minus h 1. I think I will stop here. In the next class we will see what the change in entropy is. 18

|Join or Caching (??)
|Tue, 16 Nov 2004 06:47:23 GMT
Hi, I have 3 tables A, B and C. A has a one-to-many relationship with B _and_ C. B has a one-to-many relationship with itself _and_ C. For example (ASCII art tree - fixed width font will help) the following is a valid tree that I'm trying to represent with the tables A, B and C- A | +---+---+ | | | B B C | +---+ | | B C | +-+ | | C C As of now, I use A.getBs(), A.getCs(), B.getBs() (I wrote this in B.java) and B.getCs() functions to get the tree recursively and create another object tree consisting of objects XA, XB and XC which are direct mappings of A, B and C. So for a single tree, Torque does several queries to read in all the nodes. Is there a way to read in the whole tree? May be using some kinda JOIN? Another idea I had, which assumes Torque does some kinda caching is, relate all the nodes of a single tree to a particular TreeObj. I can then do something like Tree.getAs(), Tree.getBs() and Tree.getCs(). Then I will do the same recursive querying as mentioned in the above para and the caching will limit the total queries for a tree to 3 (one each for all the As, Bs and Cs) instead of n (where n is the number of non-leaf nodes). So, does torque do any kind of caching?

We're on the cutting edge of technology.
This week the newspaper's editorial department will start carrying iPad mini computers.
Gone are the days of going to a school board meeting or borough council meeting or a vehicle accident or a structure fire carrying a pen and notebook and camera loaded with black and white film. Now we have this handy dandy gadget that we can type in our story and take a photo and video. Then we can send the story, photo and/or video to the editors. Before a reporter leaves the site, the story will be posted on our website for all to see.
I remember a long time ago when I had to find phone booths along a dark road after late meetings so I could stop, call the office and almost write my story as I dictated it to the typist so I could meet deadline.
I rushed to a fatal train wreck in Confluence loaded with three rolls of film, notebook and two pens in case one ran out. When I ran out of film, I came back to the office to write the stories. It was a long day.
I had to decide a month ahead of time what color photo I wanted on the front page of the Somerset County Fair tab. We sent the negative to a company that made the four negatives for plates — black, blue, red and yellow — for us to tape together to make up the color photo.
When the powers that be decided to get new computer equipment that would include the color capability right here, they wanted us to test it out on the Sunday Shopper. I was editor of the Shopper and I was told "Make it so."
Our first full color page included a photo of a robin. It turned out beautiful and we were thrilled.
Fellow reporter Pattie Cramer and I were thrust onto the front lines many times. "We want color weather maps. Make it so." And we did.
I'll never forget the time we put a CD into a computer tower. Up to that point, Pattie and I thought the only sound that came from the tower was a "dong" that said "what you are trying to do can't be done." This time suddenly music blared, people were talking and photographs flashed across the screen. Pattie and I must have jumped 10 feet.
We were on the front lines when the powers that be said "Make the 10K tab a running list of all those who participated and their times and include team photos." And we did.
Breaking ground for video, I was on Scratch Hill Road, notebook in my back pocket, pens in another pocket, camera in one hand and Flip video camera in the other as I recorded history while the Bollman bridge was placed on the GAP trail.
Now I have an iPad. I can take photos and video. I can edit the video. I can ask some lady in cyberspace any question and she'll give me the answer. I can access email, Facebook and Twitter. A Dragon program will convert speech into text so I can dictate my story into the tablet and it will be transferred into text.
All this new technology to make me better, faster and more efficient.
If only I could figure out how to turn it on.

Cao Fei: Whose Utopia?
Born in 1978 in Guangzhou, in the Guangdong Province of China, Cao Fei is a member of the new generation of Chinese artists coming of age at the turn of the millennium. Surrounded by an ever-accelerating society, Cao believes the realities of the day-to-day lives of her fellow countrymen are more remarkable and incredible than the notion of artistic verity. For Whose Utopia?, Cao Fei spent six months at the OSRAM China Lighting Ltd. factory in the Pearl River Delta in China. Located in Guangdong Province, the Pearl River Delta has led the massive boom in China's economy since the late 1970s. From 1980 to 2001 the region's gross domestic product grew from eight billion USD to just over one hundred billion USD. A major manufacturing base for everyday products for Chinese and foreign markets, the region has drawn workers from throughout China in search of economic opportunities and a better life.
According to Cao, "most of the workers left their hometowns in pursuit of their ideal and dream in the Pearl River Delta area." In the piece she focuses "on the innermost feelings of every individual in this globalized production chain, this giant and complex system of business, placing them at the center of attention, so as to let them rediscover their personal value which is often neglected during the process of creating huge business value."
The installation is anchored by the video Whose Utopia?, an eerily beautiful portrait of the factory and of the workers' daily lives, fantasies, and aspirations. Scenes from a typical workday are interspersed with performances by a peacock dancer, a ballerina dressed as an angel, an electric guitar player, and a break dancer. The final segment of the video—My Future is Not a Dream—is named after the rock band that formed as part of the project. A statement that can be read as both a positive statement of the fairytale possibilities of the future or as a hard dose of reality, the sentiment captures the dual nature of China's current economic boom.
Exhibition Credits
Whose Utopia? is presented in collaboration with the Walter & McBean Galleries at the San Francisco Art Institute. Cao Fei: Whose Utopia? was organized by Aimee Chang, former OCMA curator of contemporary art.

Mark Benno graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a BA in Writing, where he had the good fortune to study under the late Ralph Mills Jr. He was the book buyer for Kingsley's Book Emporium in Sarasota, Florida, before eventually moving back to the Midwest to become the manager of Canterbury Booksellers. He is currently an administrator for Madison Public Library. He enjoys reading novels from the golden age of Romantic British literature, including the works of Sir Walter Scott and Jane Austen.
This Wonderful Year is his first novel, and he is currently at work on the sequel. "As a native Midwesterner, I enjoy the linguistic challenge of writing a novel in the voice of an early 19th Century Briton. It focuses me on the story, and I try to have the patience to let the plot unfold and the characters develop at an unhurried yet engaging pace." Mark's love of history and the rich details to be found in sweeping events is evident in his work, which is based on thorough research of the era.
"I don't consider myself an historical novelist, but rather—I hope—a storyteller who mines the past for examples of how we really haven't changed that much over the millennia. Contradicting impulses have always waged war within people, and I believe they always will. One of my works in progress is a novel of Rome in the time of Nero, which is a period in human history which should not be dismissed as crude and barbaric or, as some have put it, the childhood of man. It minimizes the sacrifice and subtlety of enlightened people of the time, and gives too much credit to modern society and the technology which can create a false sense of moral evolution."

Friday (the 28th) is Beanie's coming home Birthday!
I am sitting here, watching him roll around on his side. It kind of hit me out of nowhere. A whole year has gone by since he joined our crazy life. And he has brought nothing less then amazing joy. Yes, there have been some scary moments, but they where only scary because I love him so much.
And for those who might be want to know; yes, I am having a Birthday Party for him Friday. Making him Carrot cake cupcakes. He only gets the best. And he might be a tiny wee spoiled. Just a little, itty bit.

Hey guys, just wanted to drop in the xfce forum and say how much I love Xfce. I've tried a bunch of the main DEs for Linux distros like Unity (the worst thing I've ever experienced), GNOME 2-3, LXDE, Pantheon, KDE, and some others. I really like KDE the best among the ones I mentioned because of its customization and Kate runs well on it, but KDE does use a lot of resources. I recently switched from LXDE to Xfce on my laptop running Arch. I've enjoyed it so much over the past week, I installed another Arch partition on my desktop (in my signature) with Xfce and SLiM. On my recovery usb drive with Arch, I'm also switching to Xfce.
I still got a lot of stuff to figure out and try, but for the most part, Xfce has the perfect setup and amount of customization for me. It's terminal is perfect as well, which is where I spend 90% of my time. I can't believe I waited so long to give Xfce a try.

These flowers make me recall a movie "Raise the Red Lantern" by Zhang Yimou and it had Gong Li in the lead role. The story told of a young concubine who led a life of misery in the household of a rich man. Every night, a red lantern would be raised on the front door of the wife or concubine that the rich man chose to spend the night with. The lantern signified favouritism and power to the woman who was the chosen especially if it was raised more often than it was over the doors of others. There are of course modern-day versions of this drama both in the USA and at home. All I can say is that red lanterns belong to red-light districts and there is no pride in having it raised at all.

Entries in Eastside Trail (5)
BeltLine wheel estate tours are back
Pedestrian-friendly transit, a multi-use trail, greenspace and connectivity with surrounding developments and neighborhoods -- add up all the elements of the Atlanta BeltLine and what you've got is an upgrade to the city. Atlanta 2.0 is the expanding, redeveloping mile-wide swath of smart growth that has the BeltLine as it's central artery. Are you looking to upgrade your lifestyle by living along the BeltLine? Then join me for a BeltLine Wheel Estate Tour of the Eastside Trail. We will tour properties for sale along this amenity-rich corridor on bicycles provided by Bicycle Tours of Atlanta. And why not? Owners of wheel estate along the Eastside Trail will enjoy access by bicycle (or foot) to some of the best parks, shopping, and dining that Atlanta has to offer like the newly created Historic Fourth Ward Park and Ponce City Market, now under construction.
Trails consistently remain the number one community amenity sought by prospective homeowners (National Association of Homebuilders, 2008) and can increase values for adjacent properties by as much as 20% over otherwise comparable properties.
Tours in May will run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 15; Tuesday, May 21; and Wednesday, May 29th (weather permitting).
As a Georgia-licensed real estate broker, I can show you some of the most exciting condo, townhome, and loft living on the market along this first segment of Atlanta's bicycle superhighway.
Tour groups are small, so reserve your spot today.
Car vs. bike and runner on BeltLine Eastside Trail
Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5
Fox 5 pits runner, bicyclist, and auto commuter against one another to see who can make it from Irwin Street to Piedmont Park the fastest. Runner and cyclist take the BeltLine Eastside Trail from point A to B while auto contestant takes the quickest route on Atlanta streets via GPS.
Guess who won?
Condo and townhome market brightens along the BeltLine
Nowhere in Atlanta is the rebounding condo and townhome market more evident than along the soon-to-open Eastside BeltLine Trail. There you'll find -- gasp! -- new construction. This was inconceivable just a few months ago given the glut of condos and townhomes for sale. Location (x3) overcomes sluggish market forces on this amenity-rich linear park.
First place for supreme placement of new home construction goes to Highland Park, a new development of 66 townhomes by John Wieland Homes at the juncture of Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward. The development sits across the trail from Inman Park Village and will feature direct access to the trail. This location also links to the Freedom Parkway trail system.
These homes will be built facing the BeltLine, a practice sure to be adopted by existing buildings and commercial space along the bicycle superhighway and future transit line. These structures presented their less attractive side to the corridor when it was a freight line. Now they will have secondary storefronts and fascades to welcome trail and transit users.
Owners of traditionally-styled Highland Park homes will have easy access by foot or bicycle to some of the best parks, shopping, and dining that Atlanta has to offer like the Historic Old Fourth Ward Park and Ponce City Market, now under construction.
Stay tuned as we cover other exciting new construction along the Eastside trail. All of this adds up to a compelling example of the BeltLine as an upgrade of our city to Atlanta 2.0.
Designer model and sales center [denoted in red on site plan] are currently under construction.
Atlanta's Bicycle Superhighway begins
My wife and I bicycled the BeltLine Eastside Trail this afternoon. The 14 foot wide concrete path stretches from Irwin Street on the south end to 10th Street and Monroe Drive (southeast corner of Piedmont Park) on the north end. Bicycling on the BeltLine is a breeze!
This changes everything for cycle commuters in the Piedmont Park, Virginia Highland, Poncey-Highland, Inman Park and the Old Fourth Ward areas.
A lot of people respond to the opening of a new Atlanta bicycle trail with a shrug. "So what? Atlanta has miles of them." Let me tell you: the BeltLine is a game-changer for intown trails. The secret sauce of this trail is that it reuses an old railroad right-of-way. The original rail line was surveyed and engineered for ease of transport and slight grades (usually 2% or less). If you've ever rode a Rail Trail like the Silver Comet, you know what I'm talking about. The difference between riding this exquisite path of least resistance and the hilly, pot-holed, dangerous streets of Atlanta can't be overstated. You glide over or under street intersections and never in the traffic. Granny and the kids can ride safely and with ease!
Bicycling is well-documented as the most efficient form of transportation known to man -- 5 times more efficient than using the train and 15 to 20 times more efficient than driving a car. If you look at the planned 33 mile loop of trail as a kind of inner perimeter highway for bikes, then the Eastside Trail could be the first segment of a spoke-and-hub bicycle superhighway. It's easy to envision surrounding municipalities wanting to connect their own rail trails to this superb transportation alternative. My advice is find any unused railroad rights-of-way or similar corridors that feed into the BeltLine and get 'er done. Plans are already underway for the Georgia 400 Trail, a 5 mile spoke trail that will link Buckhead to the BeltLine. And the case has already been made for developing the Full Loop of trail as a first priority.
With the transportation referendum defeated and gas climbing above $4 a gallon, time is of essence. Terminus redux, post haste!
Here are some of the gems and charms along this section of Atlanta's emerging emerald necklace:
- Piedmont Park
- Park Tavern
- Trader Joe's
- Midtown Cinema
- Whole Foods
- Home Depot
- Starbucks
- Kroger
- CVS Pharmacy
- Paris on Ponce
- Ponce City Market (with a planned spur trail directly into the building)
- Dancing Goats Coffee Bar
- Historic Old Fourth Ward Park
- Skateboard Park
- Inman Park Village
- Parrish Restaurant
- Rathbun's Restaurant
- Stoveworks
- Studioplex
- Irwin Street Market
Of course, embedded along this amenity-rich corridor are new and existing townhomes, condos and live/work lofts for sale with direct access to the BeltLine. Let me know if you'd like to take a look...
Maybe the Atlanta Bicycle Superhighway will need bicycle parking decks someday like they have in Amsterdam:
Putting the "WHEEEE!" in Atlanta real estate
This Fall I will partner with Bicycle Tours of Atlanta to offer tours by bike to properties for sale along the BeltLine Eastside Trail.
My market focus goes beyond the energy-efficient, eco-friendly features inherent in a particular dwelling to include the community it is embedded in. My concentration is on properties that score high in location-efficiency [often more important than the building's energy efficiency]. These homes are generally found Intown Atlanta within some of the city's more bicycle-friendly neighborhoods and village settings, and often in proximity to MARTA, bike paths, and the coming BeltLine and Atlanta Streetcar. I like to call these properties "wheel estate." The BeltLine will eventually feature a 33+ mile loop of trail, allowing owners of wheel estate to enjoy a healthy lifestyle of connected communities with a reduced reliance on their cars. The first 2+ miles of the BeltLine Eastside Trail, extending from Irwin Street to Piedmont Park, officially opens Oct. 15, 2012.
Are you a buyer looking to burn more calories and less carbon? Are you looking to live a car-lite lifestyle on the BeltLine? Stay tuned for more information on my upcoming BeltLine Wheel Estate tours.

Bell Group was proud to work alongside Johnstones Trade recently and complete the £10,000 makeover at the main street premises of Rotherham Rise; Rotherham Rise won the Johnstones Trade Community Spirit Award in June of this year.
The facility has been transformed into a women's centre to provide space for all women to come together to gain confidence, develop skills, take part in training, access groups and activities, as well as providing support for women and children affected by domestic and sexual abuse.
The tired playground area of St Leos & Southmead Primary School has been transformed by artwork designed by local company art4design, making the space a much brighter and happier place for the pupils to play.
Bell Group donated a wide range of paint colours to bring the designsof art4design to life and were so pleased to be able to support this project.
New Gorbals' Head of Maintenance, Michael Houghton, sadly passed away at the beginning of this year. Since then, the team at New Gorbals Housing Association have been working hard to make sure that Michael gets the tribute he deserves.
Michael was a big football fan and a keen player, so it seemed fitting that his colleagues organise a 5 a side football tournament as a tribute to him.
We are delighted to introduce Barnardo's, one of the UK's leading children's charities, as our first national charity partner.
Bell Group has showcased its commitment to the next generation by joining The 5% Club, an industry led initiative focussed on driving momentum into the recruitment of apprentices, graduates and sponsored students.
The campaign was initiated by defence technology company QinetiQ with an aim to get the UK's public and private companies to commit to raising the number of apprentices, sponsored students and graduates on formal programmes to 5% of their total workforce within five years.
Every year JRHT undertake external painting of their properties with several organisations being invited to tender for the work. The process to procure the work not only involves comparing the most competitive prices, but also requires the contractor to work with JRHT in delivering the requirements set out by the National Skills Academy for Construction (NSAfC). Contractors make commitments to providing, Work Experience Placements, Apprentices, & Job Creations throughout the contract as well as added social value in the form of community investment activities.
The Public Services (Social Value) Act came into force on 31 January 2013. It requires people who commission public services to think about how they can also secure wider social, economic and environmental benefits.
Bell Group are committed to making a difference in the communities in which we work, here are a handful of our highlights from 2015…

Computer Buying Advice
|General Buying Rule. Buy a name brand used notebook
Buy a notebook that can run the software you want to use
Your notebook needs to be powerful enough to run the software that you want to use. If you want to use Windows 2000, Windows XP or run Adobe PhotoShop you need to buy a notebook that can at least meet the minimum requirements to run that software. To find out the minimum requirements to run software, visit the software manufacturer's Web site.
We also recommend that you buy a used notebook with at least the speed of a Pentium III 1 GHz or faster. If you just want to word process, by all means choose a less powerful notebook. (You can find a notebook CPU speed comparison in our Laptop Buying Guide.)
Other important notebook hardware features including system RAM, video resolution, and hard drive capacity are also discussed in our Laptop Buying Guide.
Hint: Unless you want to load software from floppy disks, buy a used notebook with a CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, or DVD-RW drive. An external CD/CD-RW/DVD drive is also a good choice.
|General Buying Rule. Buy a notebook that can run the software you want to use.
Final Thoughts
-- Remember that a used notebook is not necessarily the
best solution. While a new notebook will cost more than a used one,
it could actually save you money with its 3 year warranty, newer parts,
and newer software.
-- A notebook older than 3 years old can only be expected to efficiently run an operating system and software that was available when it was manufactured.
-- Always compare the features of a used notebook to an affordable new notebook. Think about how long you expect to keep the notebook and how long it will be able to run the software you want to use. You may be surprised that the newer notebook with the higher price will actually save you money in the long run.
-- If you aren't comfortable with buying a used notebook --- then don't do it.

09:00 Eurozone Harmonized CPI ex EFAT, Y/Y May +1.2% +1.2% +1.2%
09:50 United Kingdom MPC Member McCafferty Speaks
Euro fell against the dollar, which in part helped by data evrozone.Soglasno report, annualized inflation rate, which is calculated in accordance with the harmonized index of consumer prices rose in May by 1.4%, compared with 1.2% in April, which was in line with preliminary estimates and forecasts of experts. We also recall that in March inflation rate was 1.7%.
The data showed that at the head of the inflation stood increase in the cost of fruit, vegetables and electricity. Meanwhile, we note that the largest contribution to the decrease was recorded by the price of fuel for transport, telecommunications and health care.
On a monthly basis, the harmonized index of consumer prices rose 0.1% in May, which was also in line with the preliminary estimates and forecasts of experts.
The statistical agency also reported that inflation in the European Union (EU) in May was 1.6% per annum, compared to 1.4% per annum, recorded in April. In monthly terms, inflation in these countries increased by 0.1%.
The lowest rates were observed in Greece, Latvia and Cyprus, while in Romania, Estonia and the Netherlands recorded the highest rate.
In addition, we note that core inflation in the currency bloc, excluding energy, food, alcohol and tobacco rose in May to 1.2% from 1% in April. The result corresponded to preliminary estimates.
The cost of the U.S. dollar was higher against the pound, which was associated with the expectations of the output of U.S. CPI data. It should be noted that inflationary pressures have eased over the past year. The index of producer prices fell in April by 0.7%, resulting in an annual rate of wholesale inflation fell to 0.6%. At the head of this slowdown stood fall in energy prices, which fell in April by 2.1%. Excluding food and energy, prices rose only slightly in recent months and by 1.7 percent from April of last year. Add that energy prices have stabilized over the past month, and price pressures remain subdued. Recent data on the purchasing managers' index for May showed that the price components or weakened or remained almost unchanged. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that commodity prices have continued to decline in May.
The yen rose against the dollar after the publication of the minutes of the Bank of Japan. It should be noted that the members of the Board of the Bank of Japan monetary policy saw signs that the Japanese economy is finally beginning to move in the direction of growth. On the issue of termination of deflation that has plagued Japan for more than 15 years, some of the board members have admitted that it may be difficult to reach a new target for CPI at 2 percent.
The protocol also states that the Japanese economy began to recover. The volume of exports had ceased to decline, as foreign economies are trying to get out of the deceleration phase, which continues from last year, and gradually coming to an end.
Recall that at its last meeting, the Bank of Japan left unchanged the interest rate level - at the level of 0-0,10 percent. He also agreed to carry out operations in the money market, which will help expand the monetary base in annual terms by about 60 - 70 trillion yen. In addition, the Bank of Japan said it would continue to buy Japanese government bonds, so that the amount of debt will increase by an annual rate of up to 50 trillion. yen. that corresponds to the plan. Purchases of government bonds, are expected to put downward pressure on interest rates across the yield curve.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that one of the members of the committee said the bank should limit its mitigation measures to two years in order to avoid financial imbalances that may arise as a result of stimulation. In addition, members of the committee warned, however, that remains considerable uncertainty and downside risks to the economy - in particular, from abroad.

How was your weekend?
Ours was pretty good actually...we spent a lot of it running errands and hanging out with friends. It was a good weekend but it always seems to go by too quickly!
Anyways, I wanted to share with you all a sideboard I recently painted and sold!
The day I posted about the sideboard I was contacted by a lady who wanted to purchase it...I wasn't expecting an offer that quickly, but it worked out and I am actually a little sad that we don't have it in our home anymore.
It was a very pretty sideboard and very well-made...sometimes that is hard to come by!
Here are some of the pictures I took of it after it was painted and styled.
Here is what this piece use to look like before I painted it and distressed it a little bit.
And here is another after photo.
I was very pleased with the turn-out/end result and miss this piece a little bit...but I know there are more great pieces out there to find and that is a little exciting!
I have another piece in the works right now...a dresser.
It is almost finished and once it is done, I will post some pictures.
Thanks for stopping by!

After a wonderful thanksgiving celebration we headed up north to explore the Olympic Peninsula a bit. We hardly made a dent. The first night we got a tip about a fire road just outside of Forks, WA that had some off grid camp spots. We found a perfect little spot next to a river. There were a bunch of downed trees and what not that we were able to axe for an extended campfire... it was a pretty cold weekend with evening temps getting close to 20•.
Latitude: 47.958660
Longitude: -124.229230
Hiking Difficulty: Easy
Length of Hike: No hiking needed.
Mileage from Portland: 256 miles
Road to Arrival: Dirt and Gravel Roads.
Dog Friendly: Dog Friendly. Just beware of other people driving.
Elevation: 1,130 Feet
Bathrooms: No. Just nature's bathroom
Campfires: Yes
Parking: 2 wheel drive is fine. you can fit 2-3 cars, a few tents around the campfire. If you have 4x4 you could actually drive down and park right next to the river.
NW Forest Pass: Yes, you should have one technically, but it was out of season and we forgot ours at home.
After a chilly night we headed into Forks for breakfast, unfortunately we didn't spot any vampires. After that we headed straight out to the coast to La Push Beach. It was beautiful and the sun was surprisingly warm... we didn't want to leave!
Day two had us traveling around the northern most part of the Peninsula. It was so beautiful! But not to many turn offs for camping. Luckily we ventured down a sketchy little road that led to an off-roading course. We found a great little space to park right next to a fire ring and bubbling brook.
We also got to play around with some night shots. The stars were amazing!
