- On a hot day, the temperature of an 80,000L swimming pool increases by 150C. What is the net heat transfer during this healing? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.arrow_forwardCalculate the rate of heat conduction out of the human body, assuming that the core internal temperature is 37.0 , the skin temperature is 34.0 , the thickness of the fatty tissues between the core and the skin averages 1.00 cm, and the surface area is 1.40 m2.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
- One easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose the house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, then by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the single story house to be of dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors.arrow_forward(a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forwardThe 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.)arrow_forward
- On a hot day, the temperature of an 80,000-L swimming pool increases by 1.50 °C . What is the net heat transfer during this heating? Ignore any complications, such as loss of water by evaporation.arrow_forward1) A wall is made up of four elements, as follows: ½” wood siding R = 1.0 ½” plywood sheathing R = 0.5 3 ½” fiberglass R = 11 ½” sheetrock R = 0.5 How many Btu per hour would be transferred through a 10 sq. foot section of the wall if the outside is 40ºF colder than the inside. In which direction (in or out) would the heat flow? (Units of R-value are ft2-hr-ºF/Btu) 2) (a) Calculate the hourly heating load of a house in which all exterior surfaces have a thermal resistance of R= 20 ft2hoF/Btu, the inside temperature is 70oF, and the outside temperature is 0oF. The dimensions of the house are 40ft x 40ft x 40ft. (b) calculate the calculation of the infiltration heat loss. Assume K-value of air exchanges per hour is 2. (HINT: Lecture 10, Slide 25 & 32-34) 3) An 80 kg man is standing on ice that can withstand 5000 Pa of pressure. a) If he is standing, having a total contact area from both feet of 0.1 m2.

- A cubical piece of heat-shield-tile from the space shuttle measures 0.15 m on a side and has a thermal conductivity of 0.065 J/(s·m·C°). The outer surface of the tile is heated to a temperature of 1040°C, while the inner surface is maintained at a temperature of 18°C. (a) How much heat flows from the outer to the inner surface of the tile in 5.0 minutes? (b) If this amount of heat were transferred to 2.7 liters (2.7 kg) of liquid water, by how many Celsius degrees would the temperature of the water rise?arrow_forwardAt what net rate does heat radiate from a 326-m2 black roof on a night when the roof's temperature is 30.0°C and the surrounding temperature is 15.2°C?
