What happens when a cold front meets a warm front?

Gam radio signals can usually be heard behind a hill, but fm often cannot. that is, am signals bend more than fm. explain. (radio signals, as we shall see, are carried by electromagnetic waves whose wavelength for am is typically 200 to 600 m and for fm about 3 m.)

In the 1980's, congress authorized the u. s. department of energy to build the wipp facility in the chicuahuan desert in new mexico. what is the purpose of wipp?

As part of an industrial process, air as an ideal gas at 10 bar, 400k expands at steady state through a valve to a pressure of 4 bar. the mass flow rate of air is 0.5 kg/s. the air then passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled to a temperature of 295k with negligible change in pressure. the valve can be modeled as a throttling process, and kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (a) for a control volume enclosing the valve and heat exchanger and enough of the local surroundings that the heat transfer occurs at the ambient temperature of 295 k, determine the rate of entropy production, in kw/k. (b) if the expansion valve were replaced by an adiabatic turbine operating isentropically, what would be the entropy production? compare the results of parts (a) and (b) and discuss.
