Hot Air in a Physics Lecture. (a) A typical student listening attentively to a physics lecture has a heat output of 100 W. How much heat energy does a class of 140 physics students release into a lecture hall over the course of a 50-min lecture? (b) Assume that all the heat energy in part (a) is transferred to the 3200 m 3 of air in the room. The air has specific heat 1020J/kg·K and density 1.20 kg/m 3 . If none of the heat escapes and the air conditioning system is off, how much will the temperature of the air in the room rise during the 50-min lecture? (c) If the class is taking an exam, the heat output per student rises to 280 W. What is the temperature rise during 50 min in this case?

a) A typical student listening
attentively to a physics lecture has
a heat output of 108 W. How
much heat energy does a class of
95 physics students release into a
lecture hall over the course of a
50 min lecture? Express your
answer in joules.
b) Assume that all the heat energy
in part A is transferred to the 3204
m3 of air in the room. The air has
a specific heat of 1020 J/(kg.K)
and a density of 1.20 kg/m3. If
none of the heat escapes and the
air-conditioning system is off, how
much will the temperature of the
air in the room rise during the 50
min lecture? Express your answer
in Celsius degrees.
c) If the class is taking an exam,
the heat output per student rises
to 285 W. What is the temperature
rise during 50 min in this case?
Express your answer in Celsius
degrees.
A classroom has dimensions 8.00 m x 10.00 m x 3.00 m. A 1000 W electric space
heater is being used to warm the room from 5.00°C to 20.00°C on a cold morning. If
the density of air is 1.29 kg/m°, and the specific heat capacity of air is 1004 J/(kg-K),
how long will it take to heat the room? Assume no loss of thermal energy to the
surroundings.
A) 1.30 minutes
B) 241 minutes
C) 45.3 minutes
O D) 77.7 minutes
Thermal energy is being transferred through a 0.8 mm layer of human skin at a rate of 1.1 x 104 W/m2. The room temperature is 27 °C.To reduce heat flux, the skin is wrapped with a clothing material. What should be the thickness of the clothing material covering the surface of this skin tissue to reduce the heat flux to half of its original value? What is the temperature at the skin-clothing material interface?
