Sequential Access

Data that can be written and accessed sequentially, like a tape recorder. Imagine each piece of data being stored in a specific order, one after the other.

File System

A set of tools used to manage data stored in files and databases. It includes functions to create, access, and modify data.

Random Access

Data stored in a specific order, with each data element having a unique address for quick access.

Direct Access

A type of storage that stores data in a specific location, similar to a house address. Data can be accessed directly by specifying its address.

Study Notes

Water Hardness

  • Hardness is caused by soluble salts of calcium and magnesium
  • Soluble salts include calcium chloride and magnesium sulphate
  • Nitrate is soluble, while phosphate is insoluble
  • Only cations cause hardness, never anions
  • Specifications for drinking water include no shell, clear and transparent, suspended impurities, and TDS - 200 ppm

Types of Hardness

  • Temporary Hardness: Caused by soluble bicarbonate salts of calcium and magnesium
  • These salts decompose when heated
  • Decomposing releases carbon dioxide, forming insoluble carbonates
  • Permanent Hardness: Caused by soluble sulphate and chloride salts of calcium and magnesium
  • These salts do not decompose when heated, retaining their hardness

Determination of Hardness (EDTA Method)

  • EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) is used to determine hardness in water
  • Disodium salt of EDTA is preferred due to higher purity
  • The method involves titration with a standard EDTA solution and an indicator
  • The indicator EBT (Eriochrome Black T) changes color upon reaching the end point

Why CaCO₃ is the Standard

  • CaCO₃ is chosen due to its low molecular weight, facilitating calculations
  • During water softening, other hardness causing salts precipitate, which is taken into account in calculations using a standard

Units of Hardness

  • Parts per million (ppm)
  • Milligrams per liter (mg/L)
  • The values are equivalent (ppm=mg/L)

Boiler Feed Water

  • Boiler scales and sludges
  • Boiler corrosion
  • Acoustic embrittlement
  • Priming and foaming

Removal of Hardness

  • Chemical treatment
  • Zeolite softner method
  • Lime soda process

Water Softening Methods

  • External treatment (Treating water before adding)
  • Internal treatment (Treating water with chemicals after adding)
  • Zeolite process
  • Lime soda process

Disinfection/Sterilisation

  • Making water free from pathogenic bacteria
  • Chlorination, UV Treatment, Ozone treatment, and Potassium permanganate treatment
  • Chlorination is considered the most effective method but can lead to a foul odor if not used at appropriate concentrations

Other Methods of Disinfection

  • Ozone treatment and UV treatment
