Answer:

In fact, there are actually several ways crude or refined oil may reach the marine environment. ... Use or consumption of oil (which includes operational discharges from ships and discharges from land-based sources): 37% Transportation (accidental spills from ships): 12% Extraction: 3% :))

Suppose a liquid level from 5.5 to 8.6 m is linearly converted to pneumatic pressure from 3 to 15 psi. What pressure will result

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) P = 9.58 psi for h=7.2 m

b) P=4.7 psi for h=5.94 m

Explanation:

Since the pressure Pon a static liquid level h is

P= p₀ + ρ*g*h

where p₀= initial pressure , ρ=density , g = gravity

then he variation of the liquid level Δh will produce a variation of pressure of

ΔP= ρ*g*Δh → ΔP/Δh = ρ*g = ( 15 psi - 3 psi) /( 8.6 m - 5.5 m) = 12/3.1 psi/m

if the liquid level is converted linearly

P = P₁ + ΔP/Δh*(h -h₁)

therefore choosing P₁ = 3 psi and h₁= 5.5 m , for h=7.2 m

P = 3 psi + 12/3.1 psi/m *(7.2 m -5.5 m) = 9.58 psi

then P = 9.58 psi for h=7.2 m

for P=4.7 psi

4.7 psi = 3 psi + 12/3.1 psi/m *(h -5.5 m)

h = (4.7 psi - 3 psi)/ (12/3.1 psi/m) + 5.5 m = 5.94 m

then P=4.7 psi for h=5.94 m

Limit sodium intake to less than ____________ per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than ____________ of daily kilocalorie

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Limit sodium intake to less than 2,300mg per day. Limit saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of added sugars to less than 5% of daily kilocalories. Limit intake of alcohol to less than 3 drinks per day for men or less than 2 drinks per day for women.

Explanation:

The human body has been designed such that there are dietary requirements and benefits these intakes give the body. However, excess consumption of certain foods, could be far more detrimental both on the short and long run.

Sodium is majorly consumed in the form of salt (Sodium chloride). When eaten in the right quantity, it serves as an electrolyte which maintains fluid balance in the body however, when taken in excess, it pulls too much fluid, leading to high blood pressure. The recommended salt intake therefore, is less than 2,300mg daily.

Saturated fat when consumed, is a good source for the body to convert diet to energy, keeping the blood sugar levels constant. Lard, fatty meats are examples of saturated fat. However, when consumed in large amounts, saturated fats can cause cholesterol build up in blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Its intake should therefore be limited to less than 10% of daily kilocalories.

Added sugars are sources of energy to the body however, when taken in large amounts, could impede normal metabolism in the body. Added sugars should be restricted to less than 5% of daily kilocalories in diet.

Alcohol intake such as in wine, when done in moderation, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart diseases. However, when taken in excess, tolerance builds and exposes the body to the risk of conditions such as liver disease, alcohol use disorder.

What is the luster of aluminum

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Luster of aluminum is Silver-White.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a Silver-White metal which is extracted from the Bauxite ore which can be reddish brown, white, tan, grey-white and tan-yellow in color and have the minerals like Gibbsite, Boehmite and Diaspore which are the minerals of the aluminium.

The Bauxite is the rock from which the Bauxite ore is extracted which have the minerals of the aluminum.

The luster of a metal is the color and shine of it and its shiny appearance.

Aluminium is a light weight metal but have a moderate hardness which makes a wider use of it. Aluminium is used in many places where the weight of the material is kept light but its hardness can be increased by mixing some other metals in it making hard alloy with lighter weight.

It is used in transportation vehicles, buildings, and many other places like Air crafts as the weight should be kept controlled to give a perfect lift to the Air craft.
