- Construct 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_forwardThermography is a technique for measuring radiant heat and detecting variations in surface temperatures that may be medically, environmentally, or militarily meaningful.(a) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34.0C compared with that at 33.0C, such as on a person’s skin? (b) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34.0C compared with that at 20.0C, such as for warm and cool automobile hoods? Figure 14.35 Artist’s rendition of a thermograph of a patient’s upper body, showing the distribution of heat represented by different colors.arrow_forward
- Can heat flow either into or out of a substance without the substance changing temperature? If not, why? If so, explain and give an example of such a process.arrow_forwardSomeone comments that a microwave oven can be viewed as a conventional oven with zero convection resistance at the surface of the food. Is this an accurate statement?arrow_forwardHeat always flows spontaneously from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature. Is this the same thing as saying that heat always flows from an object with a greater internal energy to one with a lower internal energy? Explain.arrow_forward
- The ground temperature a few meters below the surface is fairly constant throughout the year and is near the average value of the air temperature. In areas in which the air temperature drops very low in the winter, the exterior unit of a heat pump designed for heating is sometimes buried underground in order to use the earth as a thermal reservoir. Why is it worthwhile to bury the heat exchanger, even if the underground unit costs more to purchaseand install than one above ground?arrow_forwardFor objects at thermal equilibrium, Internal energy is the same between them. TRUE OR FALSE? EXPLAIN.arrow_forwardIs there more than one method of heat transfer? If so, then how are they similar and different than one another?arrow_forward
- Is it impossible to convert the heat from a single source into work without any other effect? How?arrow_forwardThe formation of condensation on a glass of ice water causes the ice to melt faster than it would otherwise. If 6.30 g of condensation forms on a glass containing water and 180 g of ice, how many grams will melt as a result? Assume no other heat transfer occurs. Use the heat of vaporization of water at 37°, as an approximation, in this problem. _________garrow_forwardCan the thermal resistance concept be used for a solid cylinder or sphere in steady operation? Explain.arrow_forward
