(a) Determine the dose (in mg/kg-day) for a bioaccumulative chemical with BCF = 103 that is found in water at a concentration of

0.1 mg/L. Calculate your dose for a 50 kg adult female who drinks 2 L lake water per day and consumes 30 g fish per day that is caught from the lake. Ans. 0.064 mg/kg-d (b) What percent of the total dose is from exposure to the water, and what percent is from exposure to the fish?

Answer:

0.064 mg/kg/day

6.25% from water, 93.75% from fish

Explanation:

Density of water is 1 kg/L, so the concentration of the chemical in the water is 0.1 mg/kg.

The BCF = 10³, so the concentration of the chemical in the fish is:

10³ = x / (0.1 mg/kg)

x = 100 mg/kg

For 2 L of water and 30 g of fish:

2 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 0.2 mg

0.030 kg × 100 mg/kg = 3 mg

The total daily intake is 3.2 mg.  Divided by the woman's mass of 50 kg, the dosage is:

(3.2 mg/day) / (50 kg) = 0.064 mg/kg/day

b) The percent from the water is:

0.2 mg / 3.2 mg = 6.25%

And the percent from the fish is:

3 mg / 3.2 mg = 93.75%

Answer:

Class of fit:

Interference (Medium Drive Force Fits constitute a special type of Interference Fits and these are the tightest fits where accuracy is important).

Here minimum shaft diameter will be greater than the maximum hole diameter.

Medium Drive Force Fits are FN 2 Fits.

As per standard ANSI B4.1 :

Desired Tolerance: FN 2

Tolerance TZone: H7S6

Max Shaft Diameter: 3.0029

Min Shaft Diameter: 3.0022

Max Hole Diameter:3.0012

Min Hole Diameter: 3.0000

Max Interference: 0.0029

Min Interference: 0.0010

Stress in the shaft and sleeve can be considered as the compressive stress which can be determined using load/interference area.

Design is acceptable If compressive stress induced due to selected dimensions and load is less than compressive strength of the material.

The Clausius inequality expresses which of the following laws? i. Law of Conservation of Mass ii. Law of Conservation of Energy
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

(iv) second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The Clausius  inequality expresses the second law of thermodynamics it applies to the real engine cycle.It is defined as the cycle integral of change in entropy of a reversible system is zero. It is nothing but mathematical form of second law of thermodynamics . It also states that for irreversible process the cyclic integral of change in entropy is less than zero
