#6. My buddy is starting to get hypothermic (body temperature 306 K) during an epic
backcountry ski adventure. Since I'm quite warm (body temperature 310 K), I decide to
get in a sleeping bag with him to try and warm him up. What heat transfer mechanism
will be most responsible for heating him up? For simplicity, ignore any internal temperature
differences across my body (that is, assume my skin temperature is also 310 K). Use num-
bers to support your answer (for human skin, you can use the following values: surface area
A = 1.50 m², emissivity = 0.970, thickness d= 0.0250 m, thermal conductivty 0.200 ms.K)

A pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/sm/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kgkg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kWkW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature.
If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won't be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn's brain cooler than its body in such circumstances.) Assume the efficiency of the pronghorn to be equal to that of human.

(c) Which premise or assumption is responsible?arrow_forwardJim is cooking sopas (chicken noodle soup) for Noche Buena. He finished early in the afternoon and wants to preserve it but the sopas is still too hot if it will be put directly on the refrigerator. The sopas has just boiled a hundred degree Celsius and the refrigerator wasn't powerful enough for the big container of the soup if it was warmer than 20 degrees Celsius. Jose found out that cooling it in a sink full of cold water, while the faucet is running with the water resulting to roughly constant temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, could bring the temperature of the sopas to 60 degrees Celsius in 14 minutes. Determine the value of the proportionality constant. Note: SOLVE CONTINUOUSLY. Round off final answer to four decimal places. If your answer is -0.89665 then input -0.8967 as your answer.

- You are asked to design a heating system for a swimming pool that is 2 m deep, 25 m long, and 25 m wide. Your client desires that the heating system be large enough to raise the water temperature from 20 to 30°C in 3 h. The rate of heat loss from the water to the air at the outdoor design conditions is determined to be 960 W/m2, and the heater must also be able to maintain the pool at 30°C at those conditions. Heat losses to the ground are expected to be small and can be disregarded. The heater considered is a natural gas furnace whose efficiency is 80 percent. What heater size (in kW input) would you recommend to your client?arrow_forwardCalculate the rate of steady heat transfer from a 8 m-by-10 m roof of a building during a cold winter day. The roof temperature can be assumed to be constant at 12°C. The air temperature outside the building is -5°C. The sky temperature is -17°C. The solar irradiation at the location is 500 W/m². The convection coefficient can be assumed to be 8 W/m².°c. The emissivity of the roof is 0.75, and solar absorptivity is 0.4. Neglect any conduction via the walls to the ground. 2173 Warrow_forwardYou have just been to the shops and purchased a 3kg bag of ice (assume all at 0°C) to cool a 24 pack of beverages, in 375 ml containers, which is now at 25°C. If you had a perfectly insulated chilly bin, and everything reached a final temperature of 0°C, how much of the ice would have melted if you only had to cool the liquid contents, ignoring the containers? Assume the latent heat of ice melting is 334 kJ/kg. If you now include the heat capacity of the containers, do you still have enough ice for (a) bottles or (b) cans.

Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)arrow_forwardHydrothermal vents deep on the ocean floor spout water at temperatures as high as 570°C. This temperature is below the boiling point of water because of the immense pressure at that depth. Because the surrounding ocean temperature is at 4.0°C, an organism could use the temperature gradient as a source of energy. (a) Assuming the specific heat of water under these conditions is 1.0 cal/g ? °C, how much energy is released when 1.0 liter of water is cooled from 570°C to 4.0°C? (b) What is the maximum usable energy an organism can extract from this energy source? (Assume the organism has some internal type of heat engine acting between the two temperature extremes.) (c) Water from these vents contains hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) at a concentration of 0.90 mmole/liter. Oxidation of 1.0 mole of H2 S produces 310 kJ of energy. How much energy is available through H2 S oxidation of 1.0 L of water?arrow_forward
- During a cold winter day, wind at 55 km/h is blowing parallel to a 4-m-high and 10-m-long wall of a house.

What would your answer be if the wind velocity was doubled?arrow_forwardYour granny normally took a hot 2L hot water bottle (covered with a thin towel and at 50 degrees Celsius) with her to bed on a very cold winters night and it worked quite well. She however decided to replace the water bottle with a huge 2 kg piece of iron (also covered with a towel at 50 degrees Celsius). She only used the 2kg piece of iron for one day and decided to rather always use the hot water bottle throughout the cold winter.
