Why the slope of temperature versus pressure graph is positive in some cases and negative in other cases?

If the pressure is increasing then the slope is positive. If the pressure is decreasing then the slope is negative.

Dose a positive pressure drain need a trap?

A trap on a positive drain is used to avoid the 'contaminated' air in a HVAC system from traveling through the condensate line and entering into areas where it is unwanted. The trap becomes necessary when one condensate line is used for multiple units, especially if it is tied to other negative pressure drain traps. The negative pressure drain traps may not drain properly if they have to overcome the positive non- trapped pressure of another unit. It allows the condensate to drain more evenly, as well. Without a trap, the positive pressure from the unit can blow air through the drain with the water and cause 'spitting.' A trap on a positive pressure system may not always be necessary, but it is good practice to trap every drain and trap it properly. There are guidelines for both positive and negative pressure traps. Always follow the manufacturers recommendations.


Why is the slope of water negative?

For water the line has a negative slope (vs carbon dioxide). This explains why ice floats since volume decreases with increasing pressure as we move upward on the phase diagram from solid to liquid water, the volume occupied by H20 decreases and thus water must be increasing in density.


How you go on with your peers?

The best way to go on with your peers is to only engage in activities that are positive, and always resist negative peer pressure.
