Drought creates a moistness in the soil, which can cause crops to rot. Farmers can lose their entire crop
b.
Drought is a method of agriculture, in which the farmer sets fire to land to add nutrients to the soil. The fires can be a problem if they get out of control.
c.
Drought is caused by a lack of rain. It causes the destruction of crops which can often lead to widespread famine.

Air is to be cooled in the evaporator section of a refrigerator by passing it over a bank of 0.8-cm-outer-diameter and 0.4-m-long tubes inside which the refrigerant is evaporating at -20°c. air approaches the tube bank in the normal direction at 0°c and 1 atm with a mean velocity of 4 m/s. the tubes are arranged in-line with longitudinal and transverse pitches of sl- st 1.5 cm. there are 30 rows in the flow direction with 15 tubes in each row. determine (a) the refrigeration capacity of this system and (b) pressure drop across the tube bank. evaluate the air properties at an assumed mean temperature of -5°c and 1 atm. is this a good assumption?
