Chapter 4, Problem 26P
A person is found dead at 5 p.m. in a room whose temperature is 20°C. The temperature of the body is measured to be 25°C when found, and the heat transfer coefficient is estimated to be 8 W/m2 K. Modeling the body as a 30-cm-diameter, 1 .70-m-long cylinder and using the lumped system analysis as a rough approximation, estimate the time of death of that person.

Consider a cold aluminum canned drink that is initially at a uniform temperature of 4°C. The can is 12.5 cm high and has a diameter of 6 cm. If the combined convection/radiation heat transfer coefficient between the can and the surrounding air at 25°C is 10 W/m2 · °C, determine how long it will take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C. In an effort to slow down the warming of the cold drink, a person puts the can in a perfectly fitting 1-cm-thick cylindrical rubber insulator (k = 0.13 W/m · °C). Now how long will it take for the average temperature of the drink to rise to 15°C? Assume the top of the can is not covered.
An average man has a body surface area of 1.8 m2
and a skin temperature
of 330C. The convective heat transfer coefficient for a clothed person
walking in still air is expressed as
h= 8.6V0.53 where V is the walking velocity in m/s. Assuming the average
surface temperature of the clothed person to be 300C, determine the rate
of heat lost by convection from an average man walking in still air at 100C at
a walking velocity of 1.2 m/s.
