- If you mix food in a blender, the electric motor does work on the system, which consists of the food inside the container. This work can noticeably warm up the food. Suppose the blender motor runs at a power of 250 W for 40 s. During this time, 2000 J of heat flow from the now-warmer food to its cooler surroundings. By how much does the thermal energy of the food increase?arrow_forwardThermal energy is being transferred through a 0.8 mm layer of human skin at a rate of 1.1 x 104 W/m2. The room temperature is 27 °C.To reduce heat flux, the skin is wrapped with a clothing material. What should be the thickness of the clothing material covering the surface of this skin tissue to reduce the heat flux to half of its original value? What is the temperature at the skin-clothing material interface? Note: if you think you need to have more information to solve this problem, you can make assumptions.

Figure (a) gives their temperatures T versus time t. Sample A has a mass of 4.96 kg; sample B has a mass of 1.35 kg. Figure (b) is a general plot for the material of sample B. It shows the temperature change AT that the material undergoes when energy is transferred to it as heat Q. The change AT is plotted versus the energy Q per unit mass of the material, and the scale of the vertical axis is set by AT, = 4.80 °C.

- The rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…arrow_forwardThe first law of thermodynamics relates the heat transfer into or out of a system to the change of internal and the work done on the system.

Determine the specific heat potential of the unknown metal by assuming that all of the heat lost by the water is gained by the metal and that the cup is completely insulated.
