Answer:
One of the reasons why flashover fires are more prevalent today than it was in the past is that homes and furniture today are made from materials that are far more combustible than those of previous years.
Explanation:
A flashover fire is the rapid ignition and combustion of all flammable materials in an enclosed vicinity in a very short period of time.
Thirty years ago, the average escape time from a house that was on fire is about sixteen and fifty seconds...that would be approximately seventeen minutes. Presently that figure is down to four minutes.
One of the reasons identified is that the internal and external appurtenances especially furniture in use today are more combustible than those of previous years. That is, as they burn, they produce more heat and disintegrate faster.
The reason identified for this is, old houses were made of more natural materials such as real wood etc whilst the furniture and curtains in modern houses are mostly from synthetic materials.

//Program was implemented using C++ Programming Language
// Comments are used for explanatory purpose
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
unsigned int second_a(unsigned int n)
{
int r,sum=0,temp;
int first;
for(int i= 1; I<=n; i++)
{
first = n;
//Check if first digit is 3
// Remove last digit from number till only one digit is left
while(first >= 10)
{
first = first / 10;
}
if(first == 3) // if first digit is 3
{
//Check if n is palindrome
temp=n; // save the value of n in a temporary Variable
while(n>0)
{
r=n%10; //getting remainder
sum=(sum*10)+r;
n=n/10;
}
if(temp==sum)
cout<<n<<" is a palindrome";
else
cout<<n<<" is not a palindrome";
}
}
}
Explanation:
The above code segments is a functional program that checks if a number that starts with digit 3 is Palindromic or not.
The program was coded using C++ programming language.
The main method of the program is omitted.

Answer:
Assumption:
1. The kinetic and potential energy changes are negligible
2. The cylinder is well insulated and thus heat transfer is negligible.
3. The thermal energy stored in the cylinder itself is negligible.
4. The process is stated to be reversible
Analysis:
a. This is reversible adiabatic(i.e isentropic) process and thus 
From the refrigerant table A11-A13
sat vapor
m=
b.) We take the content of the cylinder as the sysytem.
This is a closed system since no mass leaves or enters.
Hence, the energy balance for adiabatic closed system can be expressed as:
ΔE
ΔU
![w_{b, out} =m([tex]u_{1} -u_{2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=w_%7Bb%2C%20out%7D%20%3Dm%28%5Btex%5Du_%7B1%7D%20-u_%7B2)
)
workdone during the isentropic process
=5.8491(246.82-219.9)
=5.8491(26.91)
=157.3993
=157.4kJ
