Intravenous infusions are usually driven by gravity by hanging the bottle at a sufficient height to counteract the blood pressur

e in the vein and to force the fluid into the body. The height the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid will be.
a) If it is observed that the fluid and the blood pressures balance eachother when the
bottle is 1.2 m above the arm level, determine the gage pressure of the blood. (b) If the gage pressure of the fluid at the arm level needs to be 20 kPa for sufficient flow rate, determine how high the bottle must be placed. Take the density of the fluid to be 1020 kg/m3.

Answer:

(a) BP = 11.99 KPa

(b) h = 2 m

Explanation:

(a)

Since, the fluid pressure and blood pressure balance each other. Therefore:

BP = ρgh

where,

BP = Blood Pressure

ρ = density of fluid = 1020 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of fluid = 1.2 m

Therefore,

BP = (1020 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)(1.2 m)

<u>BP = 11995.2 Pa = 11.99 KPa</u>

(b)

Again using the equation:

P = ρgh

with data:

P = Gauge Pressure = 20 KPa = 20000 Pa

ρ = density of fluid = 1020 kg/m³

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of fluid = ?

Therefore,

20000 Pa = (1020 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)h

<u>h = 2 m</u>

Explanation:

The application of the breaks by stepping on the break pedal moves the pedal pushrod and plunger forward within the diaphragm plate, bringing about the contact between the vacuum port seal and the vacuum valve that closes the vacuum port and the passage that connects the left and right chambers such that the pressure in one chamber and te vacuum in the other chamber are held steady.

(a) Determine the dose (in mg/kg-day) for a bioaccumulative chemical with BCF = 103 that is found in water at a concentration of
solmaris [256]

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%
