One strategy when on a diet is to drink ice water. The body must burn calories to warm the water from 32 °F to a body temperature of 98.6 °F. Assume a dieter drinks 2.4 kg (2.4 L) of ice water every day. How much energy, in Cal, does the dieter's body need to provide in order to warm the 2.4-L-water. (The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg • °C; 1J = 0.000239 Cal.)

Why is a person able to remove a piece of dry aluminum foil from a hot oven with bare fingers, whereas a burn results if there is moisture on the foil?
On a hot dry day, evaporation from a lake has just enough heat transfer to balance the 1.00 kW/m2 of incoming heat from the Sun. What mass of water evaporates in 1.00 h from each square meter?
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 change in temperature is 2.00C, 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 basal metabolic rate is the rate at which energy is produced in the body when a person is at rest. A 75 kgkg (165 lblb) person of height 1.85 mm (6.07 ftft) would have a body surface area of approximately 2.00 m2m2. Part A What is the net amount of heat this person could radiate per second into a room at 17.0 ∘C∘C (about 62.6 ∘F∘F) if his skin's surface temperature is 31.0 ∘C∘C? (At such temperatures, nearly all the heat is infrared radiation, for which the body's emissivity is 1.0, regardless of the amount of pigment.) Express your answer with the appropriate units. HnetHnet = nothingnothing SubmitRequest Answer Part B Normally, 80%% of the energy produced by metabolism goes into heat, while the rest goes into things like pumping blood and repairing cells. Also normally, a person at rest can get rid of this excess heat just through radiation. Use your answer to part A to find this person's basal metabolic rate…
