The human body, while at rest, produces heat energy at a rate of about 117 W. How much sweat (in g) must evaporate every minute from their skin to carry away this excess energy? (Note: according to your book, the latent heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.43 * 106 J/kg).
During heavy exercise, the body pumps 2.00 L of blood per minute to the surface, where it is cooled by 2.00ºC . What is the rate of heat transfer from this forced convection alone, assuming blood has the same specific heat as water and its density is 1050 kg/m? (answer in W)
A 68 kg cyclist is pedaling down the road at 15 km/h, using a total metabolic power of 480 W. A certain fraction of this energy is used to move the bicycle forward, but the balance ends up as thermal energy in his body, which he must get rid of to keep cool. On a very warm day, conduction, convection, and radiation transfer little energy, and so he does this by perspiring, with the evaporation of water taking away the excess thermal energy.
To keep from overheating, the cyclist must get rid of the excess thermal energy generated in his body. If he cycles at this rate for 2 hours, how many liters of water must he perspire, to the nearest 0.1 liter?A. 0.4 L B. 0.9 L C. 1.1 L D. 1.4 L
