Based on your reading of the following passage, which of these responses concerning the proposed Keystone Pipeline is most valid? Historically, government subsidies for and regulation of transportation have been built into American culture. The creation and expansion of our national network of highways is an example of this. States and the nation as a whole are responsible for maintaining highways and also earn income from them via taxation and regulation of fuel and fuel-related activities. Furthermore, discouraging dependence on fossil fuels is more common in Europe than it is in America for cultural reasons.

The historical reliance on government subsidies of transportation will inevitably justify the taking of land for pipeline use and the resulting payouts to property owners.
The need to earn income through taxation and regulation of fuel and fuel-related activities should trump environmental concerns about the pipeline.
To reject the pipeline is anti-capitalist.
There is sound historical precedent for subsidization of the pipeline.

Amass of m 1.5 kg of steam is contained in a closed rigid container. initially the pressure and temperature of the steam are: p 1.5 mpa and t 240°c (superheated state), respectively. then the temperature drops to t2= 100°c as the result of heat transfer to the surroundings. determine: a) quality of the steam at the end of the process, b) heat transfer with the surroundings. for: p1.5 mpa and t 240°c: enthalpy of superheated vapour is 2900 kj/kg, specific volume of superheated vapour is 0. 1483 m/kg, while for t 100°c: enthalpy of saturated liquid water is 419kj/kg, specific volume of saturated liquid water is 0.001043m/kg, enthalpy of saturated vapour is 2676 kj/kg, specific volume of saturated vapour is 1.672 m/kg and pressure is 0.1 mpa.
