a.
Define the normal body temperature, and explain in briefly.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Discussion:
The value of normal temperature of a human body can varies from
The normal temperature of human body also changes due the muscle metabolism while doing daily exercises.
The normal temperature of a human body can varies from
b.
State the temperature range that referred as fever and explain in briefly..
b.
Explanation of Solution
The normal temperature of a human body can varies from
Using the knowledge of the temperature ranges of human body it easy to identify the illness and health condition and also it is easy to provide proper medication for the affected person.
c.
State the normal surface temperature of a human body and explain briefly.
c.
Explanation of Solution
The normal surface temperature (skin temperature ) of a human body is exists between
Generally, in humans pregnant ladies have the high surface temperature due increased blood pressure. Children’s skin temperature is a bit higher than the adults.
d.
State the comfortable room temperature, and explain significance in terms of human thermal comfort. Explain the role of humidity.
d.
Explanation of Solution
According to the standards of the WHO (worlds health organization) the normal comfortable room temperature is
Generally for healthy adults comfortable room temperature is
The water vapor percentage in the air is known as humidity or humidity factor. It is the environmental factor that affects the human thermal comfort
For example, the comfortable room temperature for human body is 40 to 50% of relative humidity and
Humidity increases the body temperature because of overheat, and increases the moisture in the air. Humidity might cause for the dangerous health issues.
If a person doing some exercise, that person can feel more comfortable in a room that has lower than
e.
Investigate the value of operating temperature range of the freezer in a household temperature.
e.
Explanation of Solution
The household refrigerator temperature is about or below the
The frozen food is that which requires keep storing in cool place under frozen temperatures from its prepared time to eaten.
Thus, the temperature of the freezer of a household refrigerator is

- Alcohol thermometers can measure temperatures in the range of 100 F to 200 F Determine the temperature at which an alcohol thermometer with a Fahrenheit scale will read the same number as a thermometer with a Celsius scale.arrow_forwardA copper plate, with dimensions of 3 cm × 3 cm × 5 cm (length, width, and thickness, respectively), is exposed to a thermal energy source that puts out 150 J every second, as shown in the accompanying figure. The density of copper is 8900 kg⁄m3 . Assuming no heat loss to the surrounding block,determine the temperature rise in the plate after 10 seconds.arrow_forwardPlease help me answer this question and please show the solution for each indicated problem. A pitcher throws a fast ball that is moving at a speed of 80 mph. The batter hits the ball in the direction shown. The ball leaves the bat at a speed of 190 mph. If the bat and the ball are in contact for 0.030 seconds, determine the average impulse force exerted on the ball by the batter during the impact. The ball weighs 0.40 lbs.arrow_forward
- In this problem you are asked to investigate how much water a leaky faucet wastes in one week, one month, and one year. Perform an experiment by placing a container under a leaky faucet and actually measure the amount of water accumulated in an hour (you can simulate a leaky faucet by just partially closing the faucet). You are to design the experiment. Think about the parameters that you need to measure. Express and project your findings in gallons/day, gallons/week, gallons/month, and gallons/year. At this rate, how much water is wasted by 10,000,000 households with leaky faucets. Write a brief report to discuss your findings.arrow_forwardWrite the primary dimensions of each of the following variables from the study of convection heat transfer , showing all your work: (a) heat generation rate g. (Hint: rate of conversion of thermal energy per unit volume); (b) heat flux q. (Hint: rate of heat transfer per unit area); (c) heat transfer coefficient h (Hint: heat flux per unit temperature difference).arrow_forwardThe fuel gage for a car’s gasoline tank reads proportional to the bottom gage pressure. If the tank is 30 cm deep and accidentally contains 2 cm of water (plus gasoline), how many centimeters of air remain at the top when the gage erroneously reads “full”?arrow_forward
- A bottle of medicine must be stored at a temperature between 5°C and 10°C. What does this correspond to on the Fahrenheit scale? [Note: The Fahrenheit (F) and Celsius (C) scales satisfy the relation C=(5/9)(F-32).]arrow_forwardAbsolute pressure = Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressureA pressure gauge in a refrigerator system is reading 119.6 pounds per sq ingauge pressure when the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per sq in (psi).What is the absolute pressure of the refrigerant in that system?arrow_forwardThe fuel gage for a gasoline (sp. gr. = 0.68) tank in a car reads proportional to its bottom gage. If the tank is 30 cm deep an accidentally contaminated with 2 cm of water, how many centimeters of gasoline does the tank actually contain when the gage erroneously reads "FULL"?arrow_forward
