Rods and cones are the two types of photoreceptors in the eye. Imagine that an evil supervillain has the power to damage either only the rods in your eye or the cones in your eye, so that you
would lose the functionality of one type of photoreceptor but retain the other.
1. How would your vision change if rods were selectively damaged by this supervillain?
2. How would it change if cones were damaged instead?
3. Which would you choose to keep-rods or cones and why?
4. Would this choice change if you were a nonhuman animal? (Or, for a more realistic version:
Cone-rod dystrophy is an actual condition in which both photoreceptors in the retina gradually
deteriorate. How would this affect vision? Which symptoms are related to the rods and which to
the cones?)

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.
