MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER At midday when a shopping center with a flat black roof is directly under the Sun, it receives 1,000 W of solar power per square meter of surface from the Sun. If this hot surface loses energy only by radiation back into the atmosphere, what is its equilibrium temperature (in K)? You may use an emissivity of e=1 for a black surface. Karrow_forwardRequired information In an emergency, it is sometimes the practice of medical professionals to immerse a patient who suffers from heat stroke in an ice bath, a mixture of ice and water in equilibrium at 0°C, in order to reduce her body temperature. The average specific heat of human tissue at 20.0°C is 3.50 x 103 J/kg-K. The latent heat of fusion for water is 333.7 x 10 J/kg. A(n) 85.1-kg patient whose body temperature is 43.5°C was reduced to 37.0°C. If she is placed in a bath containing 5.70 kg of ice, what will be the ice remaining in the bath when her body temperature is 37.O°C? kgarrow_forward
- 4) A ground source heat pump heats a building by extracting heat from the ground and pumping it into the building. Define: Qc = heat extracted from the ground, Qn= heat pumped into the building, W = electric energy used by the heat pump, Tc= temperature of the ground, T = temperature of building (Qc, Qn, and W are positive by definition). Assume Tr > Tc. a) Draw a diagram showing energy flow in and out of the heat pump. b) Write a general expression for the change AS in the entropy of the "universe", that is the heat pump plus the cold and hot reservoirs, in terms of the quantities defined above. Now assume ideal (reversible) operation, and take Te= 10 °C and Tp= 20 °C. What is the coefficient of performance (ČOP) of the heat pump? By what factor would this change if we had Tc = 0 °C instead?arrow_forward6arrow_forwardA 100 g rock at 30°C is completely immersed in970 g of water at 50°C. Which one of the following statements is true right after the rock goes in? a. It depends on the specific heat of the rock. b. The rock gives the water thermal energy and gets no thermal energy in return. c. The rock and the water give each other thermal energy, but the rock gives more than it gets. d. The rock and the water give each other thermal energy, but the water gives more than it gets.arrow_forward

Assume that the thickness of the tissue between the interior and the exterior of the body is d =3 cm and that the average area through which conduction can occur is A =1.5 m². Find heat transferred by conduction per hour if temperature difference between the inner body and the skin is AT = 2°C. Coefficient of thermal for tissue without blood is K. = 18 × 10-2 Cal /m-hr-ºC.arrow_forward0.4 kg water is at room temperature 23 degrees in an aluminum container.
