Applications of Computer:

By -
The use of computer is well recognized, since we are living in the informative society. Information Technology is playing an important role in our lives. It includes telecommunications, microwaves lasers and fiber optics along with computer. There is no area of human life which is not affected by the power of computer systems. Computer is a tool to work with information and to create new information. Following are the applications:-
Ø Uses of Computer in Homes: These days, computers are essential for a family like washing machines and refrigerators. They are used for entertainment, watching movies, playing games etc. computers are used to manage finances, working in home away from office, Internet Banking, communication and information sharing, doing homework etc.

Ø Computers in Education: More and more schools are adding computer technology to their syllabus so that students may be aware of the computer skills and may use these skills for other subjects also. Computer can be used for solving engineering mathematical and scientific problems with great speed and accuracy. Students make use of Encyclopedias to search and find useful information. They can read the books available online and can surf the e-libraries of other institutions.

Ø Computer in Entertainment: Computer also finds place in music and entertainment industry. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a tool for creating and recording music. Children particularly use of computers for the purposes of entertainment.

Ø Computer and Health Care: Computers play a major rule in the field of medical diagnosis and health care. The detection of diseases and its suitable preparation has become fast and quick using IT tools. Moreover the diagnosis is accurate and quick. In health care, physicians and surgeons use computers for performing delicate operations, conduct surgeries, ultra sound and laser eye surgeries, MIR, CT scan and maintain patients record etc.

Ø Computer and Weather forecasting: Computers are used to get correct and timely prediction of weather conditions. People working and living at sea shores and hilly areas make suitable arrangements for saving their lives and avoiding damages.

Ø Computer and Business Sector: Computers also find place in business; even the small companies’ use computers to perform their basic functions and to manage the accounting, inventory, marketing and payroll etc.

Ø Computer in Banking: Banking functions in all the urban, semi-urban and rural areas are fully computerized. ATMs have been installed by all the banks at various locations to provide the facility of quick withdraw of money at any time. Computerized statements of account and interest calculation can be obtained in few seconds, which was initially very time consuming job. The survival of banking industry is impossible without computers.

Ø Computer in Communication: Now a day’s people don’t use conventional methods of communication. They communicate through email, voice chat, audio and video conferencing. In these methods, we don’t have to arrange the meeting’s venues and management. Thus saves a lot of time and money. People communicate and exchange ideas sitting at remote graphical areas.

Ø Computers and Industries: Industries use different types of computers in many combinations to automate their jobs. Computer are used to design and make new products, computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) of many parts.
Ø Computer in Govt-Sector: Governments are also big consumers of technology. They use computers calculate taxes and revenues, military people use computers for weapon control, to communicate on radio under water, on air and on the surface of the earth. Govt. also uses computerized control systems to manage traffic. Moreover airlines, railways are also computerized. The details of flights or rail can be easily found on the computers via internet. The entire world has become small because of the availability of information technology.

       Ø Computers in Agriculture: Information Technology is used in crop farming                   and management practices. This area includes the control of pest and disease,                 weed control, land preparation and other related practices.

(1) Additive Property When a property of a substance is equal to the sum of the Corresponding properties of the constituent atoms, it is called an additive property . For example, molecular mass of a compound is given by the sum of the atomic masses of the constituent atoms. (2) Constitutive Property A property that depends on the arrangement of atoms and bond structure, in a molecule, is referred to as a constitutive property . Surface tension and viscosity and optical activity are examples of constitutive property. (3) Additive and Constitutive Property An additive property which also depends on the intermolecular structure is called additive and constitutive property. Surface tension and viscosity are such properties. (4) COLLIGATIVE PROPERTIES Colligative Properties (Greek colligatus = Collected together). A colligative property may be defined as one which depends on the number of particles in solution and not in any way on the size or chemical nature of

Ø SPEED: Computer is very fast calculating device It can execute basic operations like addition, multiplication, subtraction and division at a few microseconds. Ø ACCURACY: The accuracy of computer does not go down when they are used continuously for hours together. It always gives accurate results. Ø STORAGE: Computer has a very large storage capacity. It has an in-built memory where it can store a large amount of data. We can also store data in secondary storage devices like Floppy disk, Hard disk etc. Ø VERSATILITY: It means computer can perform different types of job efficiently. Computer can work with different types of data and information such as visuals, text, graphics & video etc. at same time. Ø PAPER WORK REDUCED: The computer reduces the paper work of any organization. The required data which was earlier stored in files, drawers and cabinets is now stored in the memory of computer. So Organization can reduce the paper work.  Ø MANP

Two Stroke vs Four Stroke Enigne – Advantages and Disadvantages of Two Stroke over Four Stroke Cycle Engines. In a two stroke engine, the working cycle is completed in two strokes of the piston or one revolution of the crankshaft. In a four stroke engine, the working cycle is completed in four strokes of the piston or two revolutions of the crankshaft. The following are the advantages and disadvantages of two stroke over four stroke cycle engines: Advantages: 1.   A two stroke cycle engine gives twice the number of power strokes than the four stroke cycle engine at the same engine speed. Theoretically, a two stroke cycle engine should develop twice the power as that of a four stroke cycle engine. 2.    For the same power developed, a two stroke cycle engine is lighter, less bulky and occupies less floor area. 3.    A two stroke cycle engine has a lighter flywheel and gives higher mechanical efficiency than a four stroke cycle engine. Disadvantages: 1.   The thermal
