From the surreal realm of deep-seahydrothermal vents 200 miles offshore from Puget Sound, comes a newlydiscovered hyperthermophilic-or extreme heat-loving-microbe that holds therecord for the hottest existence known to science. This microbe is tentativelyknown as Strain 121 for the temperature at which it thrives: 121 °C. (At sea level,water at this temperature would boil vigorously, but the extreme pressures atthe ocean floor prevent boiling from occurring.) What is this temperature indegrees Fahrenheit?

We have to find the temperature f the microbe in degree Fahrenheit. We know the tmperature of the…

A metal rod 50 cm long will expand by 0.075 cm if its temperature is from 0°C to 100°C. while metal rod B will expand by 0.045 cm if it is set at the same temperature and length. If you connect metal rods a and b where the total length of the two connections is 50 cm, it will expand by 0.065 cm. if shocked from 0 °C to 100 °C. calculate the length of each piece of metal that makes up this combined rod.
While doing the dishes, you drop an iron skillet that’s very hot (200° C or more) into a sink containing a few inches of water at room temperature. Assume the volume of water has about the same mass as the skillet. It’s found that the increase in temperature of the water is much less than the loss in temperature experienced by the skillet. As a matter of fact, after a minute or two, the water feels only slightly warmer than before the skillet was added. Use the space to write a brief explanation of why this is true.
A person infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is running a fever with an internal body temperature of 103 °F (39.4 °C). This raises the person's skin temperature to 36.5 °C. The person is standing unclothed in a room with an ambient temperature of 21.0 °C. If the temperature of the person's skin is maintained at 36.5 °C solely by the energy obtained from the metabolic conversion of food, how many Calories would this person have to consume per hour? Assume heat is lost only by radiation, and the surface area and emissivity of the person's skin are 1.50 m2 and 0.800, respectively. 00200
A less than youthful 94.6 kg physics professor decides to run the 26.2 mile (42.195 km) Los Angeles Marathon. During his months of training, he realizes that one important component in running a successful marathon is carbo-loading, the consumption of a sufficient quantity of carbohydrates prior to the race that the body can store as glycogen to burn during the race. The typical energy requirement for runners is 1 kcal/km per kilogram of body weight, and each mole of oxygen intake allows for the release of 120 kcal of energy by oxidizing (burning) glycogen. (a) If the professor finishes the marathon in 4:15:00 h, what is the professor's oxygen intake rate, in liters per minute, during the race if he metabolizes all of the carbo-loaded glycogen during the race and the ambient temperature is 22.0°C? L/min (b) The human body has an efficiency of 25.0%. Only 25.0% of the energy released from oxidizing glycogen is used as macroscopic mechanical energy, and the remaining 75.0% is used for…
Alligators and other reptiles don’t use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)
A garage having a volume of 18 m3 is filled with 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen by volume at atmospheric pressure. If the temperature of the air in the garage goes from 0 °C to 20 °C, what mass of air has left the garage? (At 0 °C, assume for air there are 22.4 liters/mole. Also, assume the pressure in the garage is constant.)
If a nonhuman civilization were to develop on Saturn's largest moon, Titan, its scientists might well devise a temperature scale based on the properties of methane, which is much more abundant on the surface than water is. Methane freezes at -182.6 °C on Titan, and boils at -155.2 °C. Taking the boiling point of methane as 100.0 °M (degrees Methane) and its freezing point as 0 °M, what temperature on the Methane scale corresponds to the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale, 100 °C? You must show all of the conversion steps.
A. The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects: (a) it is only 70 % as far from the sun, so the solar constant is 2800 W/m²; (b) its thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight and (c) its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light. B. (i) Estimate what the average surface temperature of Venus would be if it had no atmosphere and did not reflect any sunlight. (ii) Taking into account the reflectivity of the clouds, estimate the surface temperature. Use the theory of Earth's energy balance to discuss the greenhouse effect.
The giant hornet Vespa mandarinia japonica preys on Japanese bees. However, if one of the hornets attempts to invade a beehive, several hundred of the bees quickly form a compact ball around the hornet to stop it. They don’t sting, bite, crush, or suffocate it. Rather they overheat it by quickly raising their body temperatures from the normal 35 C to 47 C or 48 C, which is lethal to the hornet but not to the bees . Assume the following: 500 bees form a ball of radius R=2.0 cm for a time t= 20 min, the primary loss of energy by the ball is by thermal radiation, the ball’s surface has emissivity ´=0.80, and the ball has a uniform temperature. On average, how much additional energy must each bee produce during the 20 min to maintain 47 C?

Book: Sustainable Energy, Si Edition, 2nd Edition by Richard A. Dunlop Chapter 15 - Problem 6. Assume that geothermal heat transfer (at least near the surface of the earth) is by conduction through the crust rocks. For an average geothermal heat flow of 0.087 W/m2 and typical thermal gradient of 1008C/km, calculate the thermal conductivity of the rock. Compare with the known thermal conductivities of similar materials given in Chapter 8.
