A team of ecologists are studying four different ecosystems with varying levels of biodiversity. The ecologists categorize the different levels of biodiversity for the four ecosystems as shown in the table below. Genetic Diversity Species Diversity Habitat Diversity
Ecosystem A Low Low Medium
Ecosystem B Medium High Medium
Ecosystem C High Low Low
Ecosystem D Medium Low High
Based on the information above, which ecosystem most likely experienced a recent population bottleneck?

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

For the closed feedwater heater below, feedwater enters state 3 at a pressure of 2000 psia and temperature of 420 °f at a rate of ix10 ibhr. the feedwat extracted steam enters state 1 at a pressure of 1000 psia and enthalpy of 1500 btu/lbm. the extracted er leaves at an enthalpy of 528.7 btu/lbm steam leaves as a saturated liquid. (16) a) determine the mass flow rate of the extraction steam used to heat the feedwater (10) b) determine the terminal temperature difference of the closed feedwater heater
