Question

Solar panels on one of the NWU solar car prototype, have an emissivity of e = 0.819. When in direct sunlight, they absorb energy at a rate of 877 J/s per square meter of surface. Assume that the only energy loss is due to the emission of radiation. What equilibrium temperature are the panels reaching?

The rate at which a resting person converts food energy is called one’s basal metabolic rate (BMR). Assume that the resulting internal energy leaves a person’s body by radiation and convection of dry air. When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your BMR becomes internalenergy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. Assume that evaporation of perspiration is the mechanism for eliminating this energy. Suppose a person is jogging for “maximum fat burning,” converting food energy at the rate 400 kcal/h above his BMR, and putting out energy by work at the rate 60.0 W. Assume that the heat of evaporation of water at body temperature is equal to its heat of vaporization at 100°C. (a) Determine the hourly rate at which water must evaporate from his skin. (b) When you metabolize fat, the hydrogen atoms in the fat molecule are transferred to oxygen to form water. Assume that metabolism of 1.00 g of fat generates 9.00 kcal of energy and produces 1.00 g of…
1. Thermography is a technique for measuring radiant heat and detecting variations in surface temperatures that may be medically, environmentally, or militarily meaningful. (a) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34.3 deg C compared with that at 33.5 deg C, such as on a person's skin? % Increase = % (b) What is the percent increase in the rate of heat transfer by radiation from a given area at a temperature of 34 deg C compared with that at 20.3 deg C, such as for warm and cool automobile hoods? % Increase= %
An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm³ of hot coffee at 92.0°C. You put in a 18.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the coffee. By how many degrees has your coffee cooled once the ice has melted and equilibrium is reached? Treat the coffee as though it were pure water and neglect energy exchanges with the environment. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg-K. The latent heat of fusion is 333 kJ/kg. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm³. Number i Units
A student is trying to decide what to wear. His bedroom is at 20°C. His skin temperature is 35°C. The area of his exposed skin is 1.50 m². People of all races have skin that is dark in the infrared, with emissivity about 0.900. Find the net energy loss from his body by radiation in 10.0 min.
Rubbing your hands together warms them by converting work into thermal energy. a. If a woman rubs her hands a total of 19 times (forward and backwards count separately), at a distance of 7.75 cm per rub, and with an average frictional force of 39 N, what is the temperature increase of her hands, in degrees Celsius? The mass of tissues warmed is only 0.100 kg, mostly in the palms and fingers, and the heat capacity of her hands is 3500 J/(kg⋅°C).
The intensity of solar radiation above the earth’s atmosphere is about 1300 W/m2. The earth’s average surface temperature is relatively constant over geological time spans, so the energy the earth receives from the sun must be balanced by energy the earth reradiates in all directions into space. If the earth were to have a uniform temperature over its entire surface, what would the temperature be?
