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.)
The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170.00 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0 . What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to -10.0 ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its coefficient of thermal expansion is the same as that of marble. Give your answer to five significant figures.
To help prevent frost damage, 4.00 kg of water at 0 is sprayed onto a fruit tree. (a) How much heat transfer occurs as the water freezes? (b) How much would the temperature of the 200-kg tree decrease if this amount of heat transferred from the tree? Take the specific heat to be 3.35k J/kg. , and assume that no phase change occurs in the tree.
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads xC as xF . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.
Bicyclists often carry along a water bottle on hot days. When the bottle iswrapped in a wet sock, the water temperature stays near 24 °C for three orfour hours, even when the air temperature is near 38 °C. Why does thewater stay cool?
In the power plant of nuclear submarine, the temperature of the water in the reactor is above 100 degree C. How is this possible?
At what temperature value is the centigrade scale equal to the Fahrenheit scale?
In a given railroad of the Philippine National Railways that runs from Caloocan City to Legaspi City, what minimum gap must be placed between two steel railroad rails each 15.0 m long when laid at 32 degrees Celsius and the maximum temperature is 42.5 degrees Celsius?
One interesting feature of the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales is that -40C° and -40F°represent the same temperature, as shown in Fig. 1.9. Verify that this is true.
All refrigerated products should received 41 degree Fahrenheit or 5 % degree celcius. TRUE or FALSE ? WHY or WHY NOT ?
Approximately how long should it take 9.8 kgkg of ice at O•C•C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25 cmcm ×x 35 cmcm ×× 55 cmcm whose walls are 1.2 cmcm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature is 29 •CoC.
On a hot day, the temperature of an 82000-L swimming pool increases by 1.45°C. What is the net neat transfer, in joules, into the pool during this heating? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.
