- How can an object transfer heat if the object does not possess a discrete quantity of heat?arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider a person outdoors on a cold night. Construct a problem in which you calculate the rate of heat transfer from the person by all three heat transfer methods. Make the initial circumstances such that at rest the person will have a net heat transfer and then decide how much physical activity of a chosen type is necessary to balance the rate of heat transfer. Among the things to consider are the size of the person, type of clothing, initial metabolic rate, sky conditions, amount of water evaporated, and volume of air breathed. Of course, there are many other factors to consider and your instructor may wish to guide you in the assumptions made as well as the detail of analysis and method of presenting your results.arrow_forwardOn a certain dry sunny day, a swimming pool 's temperature would rise by 1.50 if not for evaporation. What fraction of the water must evaporate to carry away precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant?arrow_forward
- Suppose a person is covered head to foot by wool clothing with average thickness of 2.00 cm and is transferring energy by conduction through the clothing at the rate of 50.0 W. What is the temperature difference across the clothing, given the surface area is 1.40 m2?arrow_forwardA firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300 kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0 cm2 the temperature of the coals is 700 , and the time in contact is 1.00 s. Ignore the evaporative cooling of sweat.arrow_forwardThe height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when the temperature is 35.0C. What will its height be on a day when the temperature falls to 10.0C ? Although the monument is made of limestone, assume that its thermal coefficient of expansion is the same as marble's.arrow_forward
- Hydrothermal vents deep on the ocean floor spout water at temperatures as high as 570C. This temperature is below the boiling point of water because of the immense pressure at that depth. Because the surrounding ocean temperature is at 4.0C, an organism could use the temperature gradient as a source of energy. (a) Assuming the specific heat of water under these conditions is 1.0 cal/g C, how much energy is released when 1.0 L of water is cooled from 570C to 4.0C? (b) What is the maximum usable energy an organism can extract from this energy source? (Assume the organism has some internal type of heat engine acting between the two temperature extremes.) (c) Water from these vents contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S) at a concentration of 0.90 mmole/L. Oxidation of 1.0 mole of H2S produces 310 kJ of energy. How much energy is available through H2S oxidation of 1.0 L of water?arrow_forwardWhy are there two specific heats for gases Cp and Cv , yet only one given for solid?arrow_forwardFor 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.)arrow_forward
- Review. A 670-kg meteoroid happens to be composed of aluminum. When it is far from the Earth, its temperature is 15.0C and it moves at 14.0 km/s relative to the planet. As it crashes into the Earth, assume the internal energy transformed from the mechanical energy of the meteoroid-Earth system is shared equally between the meteoroid and the Earth and all the material of the meteoroid rises momentarily to the same final temperature. Find this temperature. Assume the specific heat of liquid and of gaseous aluminum is 1 170 J/kg C.arrow_forwardThe tea in a cup of tea has a temperature of 50 degree celsius and a certain internal energy.
