A.
To define: The term insensible perspiration.
Introduction: During the evaporation, the liquid phase of the water converts into vapors. There is need for energy for evaporating the water. Perspiration is divided into two categories, sensible perspiration, and insensible perspiration.
B.
To describe: The heat transfer process that accounts for about one-half of a person’s heat loss when indoors.
Introduction: Heat energy flows between objects that are at different temperatures. When the objects are at different temperature then the transfer of energy takes place between these objects; this energy transfer is known as heat energy.
C.
To describe: The ways by which heat loss is different between conduction and convection.
Introduction: Work occurs when one form of energy transfers into another form. Energy continues to flow between environment and living organisms, and during energy transfer, some amount of energy escapes into the environment in the form of heat.
