A person inhales and exhales 2.00 L of 37.0C air, evaporating 4.00102g of water from the lungs and breathing passages with each breath. (a) How much heat transfer occurs due to evaporation in each breath? (b) What is the rate of heat transfer in watts if the person is breathing at a moderate rate of 18.0 breaths per minute? (c) If the inhaled air had a temperature of 20.0C, what is the rate of heat transfer for warming the air? (d) Discuss the total rate of heat transfer as it relates to typical metabolic rates.

Describe a situation in which heat transfer occurs. What are the resulting forms of energy?
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 1.50m2. 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.)
How is heat transfer related to temperature?
The rate of heat conduction out of a window on a winter day is rapid enough to chill the air next to it To see just how rapidly the windows transfer heat by conduction, calculate the rate of conduction in watts through a 3.00-m2 window that is 0.634 cm thick (1/4 in.) if the temperatures of the inner and outer surfaces are 5.00 and 10.0 , respectively. (This rapid rate will not be maintained—the inner surface will cool, even to the point of frost formation.)
When a driver brakes an automobile, the friction between the brake drams and the brake shoes converts the cars kinetic energy to thermal energy.
