Suppose a walrus transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of 125 W when immersed in -1.25°C water. The walrus’s internal core temperature is 37.0°C, and it has a surface area of 1.85 m2.
Chart attached.
What is the average thickness of its blubber, in centimeters, which has the conductivity of fatty tissue?
In an annealing process-a process wherein
materials such as glass and metal are heated
to high temperatures and then cooled slowly
to toughen them-the following equation
