Answer: Increase the rate of surface water evaporation
Irrigation is a process, in which the crops are supplied with water, to ensure their proper growth. Increased in the irrigation supply can be because of the environmental conditions like hot summer season or may be because of the type of soil is semi arid or arid means the soil does not retains moisture efficiently. This will result in increase in the rate of evaporation of the surface water.
Answer:
The upper and lower limits for the room-temperature thermal conductivity of a magnesium oxide material having a volume fraction of 0.10 of pores that are filled with still air are
Ku = 38.252 W/mK
K lower = 0.199 W/mK
Explanation:
As we know
Ku = Vp * Kair + Vmagnesium * K metal
Ku = 0.10 *0.02 + (1-0.25) * 51
Ku = 38.252 W/mK
The lower limit
K lower = Kmetal* Kair/( Vp * Kmetal + Vmetal * K air)
K lower = (0.02*51)/(0.10*51 + 0.90 * 0.02)
K lower = 0.199 W/mK
