- The average specific heat (Cp) of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg °C. If the body temperature of a 70-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C during strenuous exercise, determine the increase in the thermal energy content of the body as a result of this rise in body temperature. If the man dresses more clothes what would happen, will he gain or loss heat in which mechanism?
