Steam at 140 bar has an enthalpy of 3001.9 kJ/kg, find the temperature, the specific volume and the internal energy. |
|
Answer» Pressure of steam, p = 140 bar Enthalpy of steam, h = 3001.9 kJ/kg (i) Temperature : At 140 bar, hg = 2642.4 kJ, which is less than the actual enthalpy of 3001.9 kJ/kg, and hence the steam is superheated. From superheat tables at 140 bar, h = 3001.9 kJ/kg at a temperature of 400°C (ii) The specific volume, v = 0.01722 m3/kg. ∴ The internal energy (specific), u = h – pv = 3001.9 – \(\cfrac{140\times10^5\times0.01722}{10^3}\) = 2760.82 kJ/kg. |

An explicit message means |
|
Answer» Explicit messaging treats each communication between devices as a separate query and response. Each request contains explicit information that the receiving device, or node, decodes and responds to, and each request must include a source address, a destination address, and a CIP ConnectionID. Explicit messages are transmitted by TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), and because every message includes destination, source, and connection information, explicit messaging is less efficient than implicit messaging, but it offers a high degree of flexibility. |

Electronic Media: a. Radio: Radio broadcasting which commenced in India through amateur ‘HAM’ Broadcasting Clubs in Kolkata and Chennai in the 1920s, matured into a public broadcasting system in the 1940s during World War II when it became a major instrument of propaganda for Allied forces in South East Asia. At the time of independence, there were only 6 radio stations located in the major cities catering primarily to an urban audience. A Radio Transmission center called Akashavani was started by Dr. M.V. Gopalaswamy, at Mysore University in 1935 through private effort. The station was later taken over by the State Government in January 1941 and it was shifted to Bangalore in November 1955.The first AIR station in the North Karnataka Region started functioning at Dharwad, on 8th November 1950. In 1964, Vividh Bharathi (CBS) was added to Dharwad unit. Auxiliary stations at Bhadravathi and Gulbarga were started in 1965 and 1966 respectively. Apart from All India Radio (AIR), there is Vividh Bharati, a channel for entertainment that was primarily broadcasting film songs on listeners’ requests. Vividh Bharati, which soon began to carry sponsored programmes and advertisements, grew to become a money-spinning channel for AIR.

Most of the FM channels which are popular among urbanites and students often belong to media conglomerates. ‘Radio Mirchi’ belongs to Times of India group, Red FM is owned by Living Media and Radio City by the Star Network. c. Television (T.V.): Television programming was introduced experimentally in India to promote rural development in early 1959. ‘Krishi Darshaiv was the first programme telecast on Doordarshan. Later, the Satellite Instructional Television Experiment(SITE) was broadcasting directly to community viewers in the rural areas of six states between August 1975 and July 1976. These instructional broadcasts to 2,400 TV sets directly were for 4 hours daily. Meanwhile, Television stations were set up under Doordarshan in 4 cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Srinagar, and Amritsar) by 1975. Gulbarga was the first centre in Karnataka to have a relay centre, it was inaugurated on 3-9-1977 and at the outset within a radius of 40 km, 240 villages and towns of Raichur and Vijayapura Districts and Gulbarga were benefitted. Community TV sets were maintained and serviced by the Doordarshan Kendra, Gulbarga, Bangalore city was provided with an interim TV Relay center on 1- 1-1981. d. Internet: Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks consisting of millions of private, public, academic, business networks which are linked with the networking technology. In other words, the Internet is a network of networks. e. Social Networking Sites (SNS): Social Networking Sites are defined as online platforms that focus on building and reflecting social networks or social relations among people who share interests and activities. Further, social networking sites are a type of virtual community that has grown tremendously in popularly. |

Explain the characteristics of joint family, |
|
Answer» 1. Depth of Generations: A joint family consists of people of three or more generations including grandparents, parents and children. Sometimes, other kins such as uncles, aunts, cousins and great grandsons also live in a joint family. 2. Common Roof: Henry Maine called the joint family a ‘Greater Home’. Members of the joint family normally reside together under the same roof. It is a place to uphold the family Heritage. It is a place for Socio, Economic, Religious, Entertainment etc. Due to the scarcity of accommodation members of the joint family may reside separately. Still, they try to retain regular contacts and the feeling of belonging to the same family. They have emotional and economic links with the original family. 3. Common Kitchen: Members eat the food prepared jointly at the common kitchen. Normally, the eldest female member of the family (the wife of the Karta) supervises the work at the kitchen. Rest of the female members are engaged in different kitchen work. A single kitchen under a common roof is an unique element of joint family. 4. Common Worship: Joint family derives its strength from religion. Hence, it is associated with various religious rituals and practices. Every family may have its own deity or ‘Kula devata’ and its own religious traditions. Members of the family take part in common worship, rites and ceremonies. At least once a year they join other members to take part in the festivals, feasting, marriage ceremonies and so on. 5. Common Property: The members hold a common property. As O’ Malley writes: “The joint family is a co-operative institution similar to a joint-stock company in which there is a joint property”. The total earnings of the members are pooled into a common purse of the family and family expenses are met out of that. 6. Exercise of Authority: In the patriarchal joint family usually the eldest male member known as ‘Karta’ exerscises authority. The super-ordination of the eldest member and the subordination of all the other members to him is a keynote of the joint family. His commands are normally obeyed by others. Karta ruled his family by love and affection. Similarly, in the matriarchal joint family the eldest female (matriarch) member exercises supreme authority. 7. Arranged Marriages: In the joint family, the elders consider it as their privilege to arrange the marriages of the members. The individual’s right to select his/her life-partner is undermined. The younger members rarely challenge their decisions and arrangements. But now-adays selecting a life partner for a family member is more democratic in nature. 8. Identification with Mutual Rights and Obligations towards the Family: Every member has his own duties and obligations towards the family. The family in turn, protects the interests and promotes the welfare of all. The senior members of the family act as guides for junior members. 9. Self-Sufficiency: Joint family is relatively self-sufficient. It meets the economic, recreational, medical, educational and other needs of the members. No other type of family is self-reliant that way today. |

Write a note on Special Economic Zones. |
|
Answer» Special Economic Zone (SEZ): SEZ is defined as an earmarked geographical area meant for production of goods and services basically meant for the purpose of export where economic laws are different from the prevailing ones in other parts of the country. Special facilities are provided to the firms operating in SEZs in terms of tax concessions and infrastructural setups as well as regulatory incentives. SEZs can be set up in the public sector, private sector, or joint sector or even by the state governments in collaboration with any corporate. The proposals for setting up of SEZs in the agrosector to boost the exports food and agro products, which benefit the farmers of the country. The land is acquired at a subsidised rate, and the compensation given to the land owner is far less than the market price. It also gives rise to income disparities and help rich to become richer. These special economic zones are exploiting the local labour and displace the livelihoods in the agrarian economy. The agrarian policy of the government of India and the state governments are against the interests of the vulnerable sections. The case is that of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) policy whereby the state governments are acquiring lands under the Land Acquisition Act for industrialists and corporate agencies. Thus the marginal and small farmers are rendered landless. There is strong resistance by farmers and agricultural labourers throughout the country but yet the land is being acquired forcefully. Some farmers have also lost their lives in this process. |
