How many food Calories shouldthe drink have so that it is in perfect balance with the heatneeded to warm the liquid (essentially water)?

For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body's tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the difference in temperature is 2.00 , and the skin area is 1.50 m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)
At high noon, the Sun delivers 1 000 W to each square meter of a blacktop road. If the hot asphalt transfers energy only by radiation, what is its steady-state temperature?
One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.
The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. Fat and skin have conductivities of about 0.20 W/m K and 0.020 W/m K, respectively, while other tissues inside the body have conductivities of about 0.50 W/m K. Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin sin face lies a skin layer of 1.0 mm, fat layer of 0.50 cm, and 3.2 cm of other tissues. (a) Find the R-factor for each of these layers, and the equivalent R-factor for all layers taken together, retaining two digits. (b) Find the rate of energy loss when the core temperature is 37C and the exterior temperature is 0C. Assume that both a protective layer of clothing and an insulating layer of unmoving air a absent, and a body area of 2.0 m2.
Digestingfat produces 9.3 food calories per gram of fat, and typically 80%of this energy goes to heat when metabolized. (One food calorie is1000 calories and therefore equals 4186 J.) The body then movesall this heat to the surface by a combination of thermal conductivityand motion of the blood. The internal temperature of the body(where digestion occurs) is normally 37C, and the surface is usuallyabout 30C. By how much do the digestion and metabolism of a2.50 g pat of butter change your body’s entropy? Does it increase ordecrease?
If the air temperature isthe same as the temperature of your skin (about 30°C), your body cannotget rid of heat by transferring it to the air. In that case, it gets ridof the heat by evaporating water (sweat). During bicycling, a typical70 kg person’s body produces energy at a rate of about 500 W due tometabolism, 80% of which is converted to heat. (a) How many kilogramsof water must the person’s body evaporate in an hour to get ridof this heat? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is2.42 * 10^6 J/kg. (b) The evaporated water must, of course, be replenished,or the person will dehydrate. How many 750 mL bottles of watermust the bicyclist drink per hour to replenish the lost water? (Recall thatthe mass of a liter of water is 1.0 kg.)
percent of a kernel's mass consists of water? Assume that the latent heat of vaporization for stays liquid until its temperature is about 175°C, at which point the kernel ruptures and the a Because of the pressure inside a popcorn kernel, water does not vaporize at 100°C. Instead, it unerheated water turns into steam. How much energy is needed to pop 95.0 g of corn if 14 ater at 175°C is 0.90 times its value at 100°C and that the kernels have an initial temperature of 175°C. Critical Thinking
A 0.3-L glass of water at 20°C is to be cooled with ice to 5°C. Determine how much ice needs to be added to the water, in grams, if the ice is at (a) 0°C and (b) 220°C. Also determine how much water would be needed if the cooling is to be done with cold water at 0°C. The melting temperature and the heat of fusion of ice at atmospheric pressure are 0°C and 333.7 kJ/kg, respectively, and the density of water is 1 kg/L.
A study showed the average basal metabolic rate of a human to be about 1500 kcal/day (6279 kJ/day). If it were possible to construct a bathtub in which there was no loss of heat to the surroundings, and the tub contained 25 gallons of 23.0 ®C water, what would be the final temperature of the water after an average human immersed their body in the water for 2 hours?
Blood can carry excess energy from the interior to the surface of the body.While a person is exercising 0.6 kg of blood flows through the skin andreleases 2000 J of energy. The blood arriving at the skin has thetemperature of the body interior, 37.0 °C. Assuming that blood has thesame specific heat capacity as water, determine the temperature of theblood that leaves the skin and returns to the interior.
Dogs keep themselves cool by panting, which results in evaporation from moist tissues of the airway and lungs, cooling the animal. Measurements show that, on a 95 ◦F day with a relative humidity of 50%, a 25 lb dog loses 1 g of water per minute if it is panting vigorously. What rate of heat loss, in watts, does this achieve?
