During heavy exercise, the body pumps 2.00 L of blood per minute to the surface, where it is cooled by 2.00C. What is the rate of heat transfer from this forced convection alone, assuming blood has the same specific heat as water and its density is 1050kg/m3 ?
Two concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?
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.
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.)
An aluminum rod 0.500 m in length and with a cross-sectional area of 2.50 cm2 is inserted into a thermally insulated vessel containing liquid helium at 4.20 K. The rod is initially at 300 K. (a) If one-half of the rod is inserted into the helium, how many liters of helium boil off by the time the inserted half cools to 4.20 K? Assume the upper half does not yet cool. (b) If the circular surface of the upper end of the rod is maintained at 300 K, what is the approximate boil-off rate of liquid helium in liters per second after the lower half has reached 4.20 K? (Aluminum has thermal conductivity of 3 100 W/m K at 4.20 K; ignore its temperature variation. The density of liquid helium is 125 kg/m3.)
The north wall of an electrically heated home is 20 ft long, 10 ft high, and 1 ft thick, and is made of brick whose thermal conductivity is k = 0.42 Btu/h·ft·°F. On a certain winter night, the temperatures of the inner and the outer surfaces of the wall are measured to be at about 62°F and 25°F, respectively, for a period of 8 h. Determine (a) the rate of heat loss through the wall that night and (b) the cost of that heat loss to the home owner if the cost of electricity is $0.07/kWh.
The roof of a house consists of a 15-cm-thick concrete slab (k = 2 W/m·K) that is 15 m wide and 20 m long. The convection heat transfer coefficients on the inner and outer surfaces of the roof are 5 and 12 W/m2·K, respectively. On a clear winter night, the ambient air is reported to be at 10°C, while the night sky temperature is 100 K. The house and the interior surfaces of the wall are maintained at a constant temperature of 20°C. The emissivity of both surfaces of the concrete roof is 0.9. Considering both radiation and convection heat transfers, determine the rate of heat transfer through the roof, and the inner surface temperature of the roof. If the house is heated by a furnace burning natural gas with an efficiency of 80 percent, and the price of natural gas is $1.20/ therm (1 therm = 105,500 kJ of energy content), determine the money lost through the roof that night during a 14-h period.
A glass window in a home is 0.62cm thick and has dimensions of 1 m x 2 m. On a certain day, the temperature of the interior surface of the glass is 25ºC and the exterior surface temperature is 0ºC.
