The emissivity of the human skin is 97.0 percent. Use 35.0 °C for the skin temperature and approximate the humar body by a rectangular block with a height of 1.98 m, a width of 35.5 cm and a length of 26.5 cm. Calculate the power emitted by the human body. 1.311x10³ W You are correct. Your receipt no. is 157-4629 Previous Tries What is the wavelength of the peak in the spectral distribution for this temperature? 8.56x10^-5m Hint: Use Wien's displacement law. Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 3/12 Previous Tries Fortunately our environment radiates too. The human body absorbs this radiation with an absorbance of 97.0 percent, só we don't lose our internal energy so quickly. How much power do we absorb when we are in a room where the temperature is 20.5 °C? 625.36W Hint: Use the Stefan-Boltzmann law again. Submit Answer Incorrect. Tries 1/12 Previous Tries How much energy does our body lose in one second? Submit Answer Tries 0/12
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
