The maximum amount of water an adult in temperate climates can perspire in one hour is typically 1.8 L. However, after several weeks in a tropical climate the body can adapt, increasing the maximum perspiration rate to 3.5 L/h. At what rate, in watts, is energy being removed when perspiring that rapidly?Assume all of the perspired water evaporates. At body temperature, the heat of vaporization of water is Lv = 24 × 105 J/kg.

The world's deepest gold mine, which is located in South Africa, is over 5.1 km deep. Every day, the mine transfers enough energy by heat to the mine's cooling systems to melt 348114 kg of ice at 0.0 degrees Celsius. If the energy output from the mine is increased by 9.6 percent, to what final temperature will the 348114 kg of ice-cold water be heated? Latent Heat of fusion of Ice-3.33 × 105 J/kg Specific heat capacity of Water = 4186J/(kg. °C)

The rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…

You pour 998.00 cm3 of liquid mercury into a 1000.00 cm3-flask when both the mercury and the glass are at 4.0 ◦C. Determine the maximum temperature you can heat the system to (to the thousandth of a degree Celsius) before the mercury overflows. The mercury has a coefficient of volume expansion of 18.0 × 10−5◦C^−1 and the glass of the flask has a coefficient of volume expansion of 1.8 × 10−5◦C^ −1.
