Document Summary

The midterm exam is tomorrow evening from 7:00-9:00 in the same classrooms as last time. There will be four problems, the first will be a set of short answer questions and the other three will have multiple parts. He will post a formula sheet later today. It"s an open coursepack exam so you should bring that with you and any other notes you want. Recap: we used metalworking fluids as an example of boundary setting and scoping. We were talking about reference flow: amount of product needed to fulfill the function, measured by functional unit. It"s a judgment call basically: you can allocate either by mass produced or their relative value (price) Adds up everything that comes in and out: assembly of product, its use, and what happens at the end of life, recycled or sent to landfill. Human health impacts: measured in terms of reduction of anticipated lifespan, as result of exposure to these substances.
