b) A cascade system is designed to supply 10 tonnes of refrigeration at an
evaporator temperature of 60°C and a condenser temperature of 25°C.

is rejected to a cascade condenser at 20°C. The cascade condenser is
cooled by a unit R12 as the refrigerant and operating between 30°C
evaporating temperature and 25°C condenser temperature. The refrigerant
leaving the R12 condenser is subcooled to 20°C, but there is no sub-
cooling of R22 refrigerant. The gas leaving both the evaporators is dry
and saturated and compressions are isentropic. Neglecting losses,
determine : [8]

Q3) Read the following case study and answer the questions. [16]
Red Rice is a serious weed in rice production fields in North and South
America. Red rice is extremely difficult to control because rice and red rice
are different cultivars of the same genus and species, (Oryza sativa L), and
will therefore interbred. The outcrossing frequency is approximately 2% which
is considered high by plant breeding standards. This means that in rice fields
infested with red rice, traits of rice can be rapidly transferred to the red rice.
P.T.O.
Rice has been genetically engineered to have a herbicide resistant gene. Because
of outcrossing, it is apparent that if herbicide resistant rice were grown in red
rice infested fields, the red rice would acquire herbicide resistance. An
international donor agency funded the research that engineered rice herbicide
resistance, but after examining the potential consequences to U.S. rice
production, refused to allow the rice to be released for U.S. production.
A scientist at the international research agency learned of the herbicide resistant
rice and requested and received from the donor agency herbicide resistant
rice seed for commercial production. The scientist wanted the seed because
using the seed would eliminate the chemical load on the environment, and
reduce production costs.
In Colombia, typical rice culture consists of tilling the soil, irrigating to germinate
all seeds, and chemically killing the emerged seedlings. This process is repeated
three times before the seedbed is ready to plant.
Questions :
a) What are the potential harms that could occur from using herbicide
resistant rice?
b) What are the potential benefits that could occur from using herbicide
resistant rice?
c) Who would be harmed, and who would be benefited by using the
herbicide resistant rice?
d) If you were the international research agency executive who decided to
ban its use in the U.S., how would you defend your position on moral
grounds?
e) Suppose you are a member of the Sierra Club. which opposes using
herbicide resistant crops. What arguments would you use to oppose its
use?
f) Assume that the herbicide resistant rice can be effectively grown for a
long time, but the herbicide resistance is transferred to another native
plant in the community. What are the moral implications of allowing this
change in the native species to occur?
