- A person inhales and exhales 2.00 L of 37.0C air, evaporating 4.00102g of water from the lungs and breathing passages with each breath. (a) How much heat transfer occurs due to evaporation in each breath? (b) What is the rate of heat transfer in watts if the person is breathing at a moderate rate of 18.0 breaths per minute? (c) If the inhaled air had a temperature of 20.0C, what is the rate of heat transfer for warming the air? (d) Discuss the total rate of heat transfer as it relates to typical metabolic rates. Will this breathing be a major form of heat transfer for this person?arrow_forwardIn an air conditioner, 12.65 MJ of heat transfer occurs from a cold environment in 1.00 h. (a) What mass of ice melting would involve the same heat transfer? (b) How many hours of operation would be equivalent to mailing 900 kg of ice? (c) If ice costs 20 cents per kg, do you think the air conditioner could be operated more cheaply than by simply using ice? Describe in detail how you evaluate the relative costs.arrow_forwardA bag containing 0C ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount at 0C water. a. How much heat transfer is necessary to raise the temperature of 0.800 kg of water from 0C to 30.0C ? b. How much heat transfer is required to first melt 0.800 kg of 0C ice and then raise its temperature? c. Explain how your answer supports the contention that the ice is more effective.arrow_forward

(b) What quantity of ice melts?arrow_forward(a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a 1.40m2 surface area? Assume that the animal’s skin temperature is 32.0C, that tile air temperature is 5.00C, and that fur has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forwardTo help prevent from damage, 4.00 kg at 0C water is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature at the 200kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree?

Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300kg/m3.

(b) How many 1-kW room heaters would be needed to balance the heat transfer due to conduction?arrow_forwardAssume you are measuring the specific heat of a sample of originally hot metal by using a calorimeter containing water. Because your calorimeter is not perfectly insulating, energy can transfer by heat between the contents of the calorimeter and the room. To obtain the most accurate result for the specific heat of the metal, you should use water with which initial temperature? (a) slightly lower than room temperature (b) the same as room temperature (c) slightly higher than room temperature (d) whatever you like because the initial temperature makes no differencearrow_forward
