During a bout with the flu an 80 kg man ran a fever of 39 degreees Celsius instead of normal body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Assuming that the human body is mostly water, how much heat is required to raise his temperature by that amount? The answer would be 6.7x10^5. J   The question is, if th e person in this example is a terminator machine that is composed of 99.9 % aluminum, how much energy is required to raise his temperature?
