You are in space, compare the rate of heat loss for bare skin vs. a nice thick layer of polychloroprene (space suit material). How thick should your space suit be to be comfortable? specific heat of human body is 3500 J/kg K, specific heat of polychloroprene 2200 J/kg K, temperature in space 2.6 K.
In a warm room a naked resting person has a skin temperature of 33°C if
the room temperature is 29° C, what is the body surface area if the rate of
heat loss due to convection is 43watt and the convection constant K =7.1
watt /m?.K Choose the right answer:

The heat of vaporization of water is 540 cal/g, and the heat of fusion is 80 cal/g.
The heat capacity of liquid water is 1 cal g-1 oC-1 and the heat capacity of ice is 0.5 cal g-1 oc-1.
26 g of ice at -15°C is heated until it becomes liquid water at 40°C. How much heat was required for this to occur?
