something about......cooling and hot effects.................

Air Conditioning:

Bodily comfort depends on temperature as well as humidity. The comfortable conditions for an average person are ...............................................................................
(i) temperature between 23 and 25 °C, and 
(ii) relative humidity between 60 and 65 per cent. 
An air conditioner provides these conditions by regulating temperature and humidity.The cooling capacity of an A.C. is expressed in tons, e.g. 1 ton 2 ton etc. A 1 ton A.C. transfers 12000 BTU (British thermal unit) of heat from the room in an hour. (1 BTU = 1055 joule). Ton in this case has nothing to do with mass.

Refrigerator:

In a refrigerator, cooling is produced by the evaporation of a volatile liquid, FREON, inside a copper coil (evaporator), which surrounds the freezer. The vapor is removed and condensed to the liquid form in the condenser coil, fitted at the back of the cabinet, by a compression pump.
 The condenser coil becomes warm owing to the conversion of vapor into liquid inside it. From the condenser coil the liquid is sent back into the evaporator coil and the cycle goes on.A thermostat switch regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator by switching the pump on and off at intervals. In ordinary refrigerators, frost forms around the freezer coils. This frost not only decreases the inner capacity of the freezer, it also affects the cooling.

 In frost-free refrigerators, the freezer has three basic parts; a timer, a heating coil around the freezer coil and a temperature sensor periodically, the timer turns on the heating coil, which melts off the frost/ice. When the temperature rises to zero degree Celsius and all the ice is gone the temperature sensor turns off the heater coil.

Pressure Cooker: 

The boiling point of a liquid depends on external pressure.
When the atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury water boils at 100°C. But when the pressure is increased, the boiling point of water is raised. For example, at a pressure of two atmospheres, water boils at 120°C. In a pressure cooker water boils at temperatures higher than 100 °C due to increased pressure. The increased boiling temperature allows water to hold more heat which cooks food faster.
At higher altitudes, atmospheric pressure is reduced.

This lowers the boiling point of water and food takes much longer to cook. Thus a pressure cooker becomes more essential for cooking on hill stations.

NITI AYOG......................

NITI Ayog :- The Government has replaced Planning Commission with a new institution named NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). A cabinet Resolution issued today gave details of the new institutions.  The institutional framework of government has developed and matured over the years.   This has allowed the development of domain expertise which allows us the chance to increase the specificity of functions given to institutions.  Specific to the planning process, there is a need to separate as well as energize the distinct ‘process’ of governance from the ‘strategy’ of governance. 1).

Coding and Decoding ...........[competitive. exam prep.... topic 20]

Coding is a system of signals. This is a method of transmitting information in the form of codes or signals without it being known by a third person. The person who transmits the code or signal, is called the sender and the person who receives it, is called the receiver. Transmitted codes or signals are decoded on the other side by the receiver—this is known as decoding. Most competitive exams have a dedicated section of Coding –Decoding in Reasoning or Mental Ability. Many of students and readers find difficulty to solve questions based on Coding – Decoding in Mental Aptitude. The Coding and Decoding Test is set up to judge the candidate’s ability. Coding and decoding tips are very useful to those who are preparing for the attending the bank exam IBPS, SBI, LIC AAO, UPSC, IAS, CAT, XAT, MAT, SSC, GATE, and other competitive exams. We have also published the Solved examples for the coding and decoding aptitude. Coding is a process of sending a message from master to slave that

Calendar ........[competitive. exam prep.... topic 29]

Image
 Most of the students are having difficulties in solving the Calendar problems. The number of days more than the complete number of weeks in a given period, are called odd days. For example : (1) In an ordinary year (of 365 days) there are 52 weeks and one odd day. (2) In a leap year (of 366 days) there are 52 weeks and two odd days. What is the Leap and Ordinary year ? Every year which is exactly divisible by 4 such as 1988, 1992, 1996 et. is called a leap year. Also every 4th century is a leap year. The other centuries, although divisible by 4, are not leap years. Thus, for a century to be a leap year, it should be exactly divisible by 400. For example : (1) 400, 800, 1200, etc are leap years since they are exactly divisible by 400. (2) 700, 600, 500 etc are not leap years since they are not exactly divisible by 400. How to find number of odd days :An ordinary year has 365 days. If we divide 365 by 7, we get, 52 as quotient and 1 as remainder. Thus, we may say tha
