Treatment for a stroke. One suggested treatment for a person who has suffered a stroke is to immerse the patient in an ice-water bath at 0°C to lower the body temperature, which prevents damage to the brain. In one set of tests, patients were cooled until their internal temperature reached 32.0°C. To treat a 70.0 kg patient, what is the minimum amount of ice (at 0°C) that you need in the bath so that its temperature remains at 0°C? The specific heat of the human body is 3480 J/(kg·C°), and recall that normal body temperature is 37.0°C.

It is made of material with thermal conductivity k = 0.800 W/m C. The interior is maintained at temperature 5C and the exterior at 40C. After an interval of time, the shell reaches a steady state with the temperature at each point within it remaining constant in time.
