In Miami, Florida, which has a very humid climate and numerous bodies of water nearby, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 38°C (100°F). In the desert climate of Phoenix, Arizona, however, temperatures rise above that almost every day in July and August. Explain how the evaporation of water helps limit high temperatures in humid climates.
13. (a) Calculate the convective heat loss per hour for a nude standing in a 5 m/sec wind. Assume T,- 33°C, T, = 10°C, and A,- 1.2 m. (b) If the wind speed were 2.23 m/sec, find the still air temperature that would produce the same heat loss (the wind chill equivalent temperature).
You put two uncovered pails of water, one containing hot water and one containing cold water, outside in below-freezing weather. The pail with the hot water will usually begin to freeze first. Why? What would happen if you covered the pails?

- What is the density of water vapor in g/m3 on a hot dry day in me desert when the temperature is 40.0C and the relative humidity 15 6.00%?arrow_forwardIn very humid climates where there are numerous bodies of water, such as in Florida, it is unusual for temperatures to rise above about 35C (95F). In deserts, however, temperatures can rise far above this.

Which is more and why? -Given temperature changes don’t happen until the phase changes, there should be some dependance on the amount of stuff (mass) changing phase and there is: Q = m Lv (vaporizing/condensing) Q = m Lf (melting/freezing) -The photos should be helpfularrow_forwardIt is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C. What would your answer be if the…arrow_forward
