You are asked to estimate the maximum human body temperature if the metabolic heat produced in your body could escape only by tissue conduction and later on the surface by convection. Simplify the human body as a cylinder of L=1.8 m in height and ro= 0.15 m in radius. Further, simplify the heat transfer process inside the human body as a 1-D situation when the temperature only depends on the radial coordinater from the centerline. The governing dT +q""=0 dr equation is written as 1 d k- r dr r = 0, dT dr =0 dT r=ro -k -=h(T-T) dr (k-0.5 W/m°C), ro is the radius of the cylinder (0.15 m), h is the convection coefficient at the skin surface (15 W/m² °C), Tair is the air temperature (30°C). q" is the average volumetric heat generation rate in the body (W/m³) and is defined as heat generated per unit volume per second. The 1-D (radial) temperature distribution can be derived as: T(r) = q"¹'r² qr qr. + 4k 2h + 4k +T , where k is thermal conductivity of tissue air (A) q" can be calculated…

Let's say a 3.0 gram copper wafer is dropped from a height of 50.0 meters. If 60% of the potential energy lost in the drop could be converted to thermal energy used to heat the copper from an initial temperature of 25 degrees celsius, what would the final temperature of the copper wafer? Would the answer be different if the wafer has a mass greater than 3 grams? Note: the specific heat of copper is 387 J/(kg*K). The temperature is between 25.8 and 26.0 degrees celsius, yes the bigger the mass the greater the energy. O The temperature is between 25.6 and 25.8 celsius, answer does not depend on mass. O The temperature is between 25.0 and 25.2 celsius, answer does not depend on mass. O The temperature is 25.5 and of course the more mass something has the greater energy will be needed to raise the temperature. The temperature is 26.2 and if the mass is doubled so will be the change in temperature. O The temperature is 25.9 degrees celsius and the answer does not depend on mass. O The…
Transient Heat Conduction Cooking a Thanksgiving turkey is an art form and, if your skills in the kitchen are like mine, it is sometimes more of a mystical, elusive art form. Thankfully, science also has much to contribute in the kitchen as well as the laboratory. Let us consider the change in temperature of a common, 20-lb holiday fowl as it is cooked in a convection oven. To simplify the analysis, let's assume the bird can be modeled as a uniform sphere of radius 7.0 in. with a specific heat of 3.53 kJ/kg-K. Moreover, the turkey will be assumed to have a uniform temperature, T, throughout that will change with time as it is cooked according to the following relationship: 。 + (To - T∞)ept T(t) = T∞ + where To is the initial temperature of the turkey, T∞, is the oven temperature, V is the volume of the turkey, As is the surface area of the turkey, and h is the convection coefficient for the scenario which is 11.3 W/m²-K. If the oven is set to 325 °F and the initial temperature of the…

Hello, I have been having trouble analyzing the following situation related to the field of Heat Transfer; I am needing to find the heat transfer rate through the given wall in Watts (shown in attached image): A wall consists of four different materials, A, B, C, and D as shown. The thermal conductivities of A, B, C, and D are 1, 5, 10, and 15 W/(mK), respectively. The inner surface of the wall is maintained at 60 oC, and the outside temperature is 20 oC. The convective coefficient for the outside air is 20 W/(m2K). The area of A, B, and C is 0.3 m2, and each is of equal thickness. Area D has an area of 0.1 m2 and thickness of 45 cm. I know some equations that can be used to solve this problem using the thermal circuits concept, but those equations require knowing the additional information about the temperature of the inside air or the surface temperature of the outside wall. Could you please help me determine what methods needed to solve this problem that I am missing? Thank you.
John is employed by a new food processing plant where eggs are to be boiled in large quantities to produce egg salad. John has been assigned the task of determining the minimum cooking time for the eggs, utilizing his vast knowledge of heat transfer. As a basis of calculation, he assumed that the eggs are perfect spheres with a diameter of 5 cm and uniform material properties (r =1000kg/m'; Cp = 3300 J/(kg K) and k=0.75 W/(m-K)). The eggs were taken from a cold storage room at 5°C and immediately put into pots of boiling water at 100°C. The convective heat transfer coefficient of the water is h = 1500 W/m°K. For health safety reasons, the plant requires that the entire egg must be at a temperature above 75°C for at least 20 seconds in order for the cooking process to be complete. a. What is the minimum time necessary to cook the egg to company specifications? b. In the testing lab, John forgot to remove a batch of eggs, and they remained in the cooking pot long enough to reach a…
