(c) Temperature difference in the body. The surface temperature of the body is normally about 7c° lower than
the internal temperature. Express this temperature difference in kelvins and in Fahrenheit degrees.
(d) Blood storage. Blood stored at 4.0°C lasts safely for about 3 weeks, whereas blood stored at -160°C lasts
for 5 years. Express both temperatures on the Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales.
(e) Heat stroke. If the body's temperature is above…

To mold the headpiece of this suit, he need to heat 1 kg of the metal into its forging temperature. Its forging temperature must be at least 70% of its melting point in Kelvin (MPyB = 3297 K). Assuming that the melting point and the forging temperature of Vb can be achieved, answer the following questions. a. Determine the specific heat capacity (J/kg-°C) of Vb if it loses 519.2775 kJ as it is being cooled from its melting point down to its forging temperature. b. The newly forged headpiece is then submerged in 2.5 L of liquid water initially at room temperature. Since the headpiece is still at its forging temperature right before it was submerged in water, some of the water vaporized in the process.
