A classroom has dimensions 8.00 m x 10.00 m x 3.00 m. A 1000 W electric space
heater is being used to warm the room from 5.00°C to 20.00°C on a cold morning. If
the density of air is 1.29 kg/m°, and the specific heat capacity of air is 1004 J/(kg-K),
how long will it take to heat the room? Assume no loss of thermal energy to the
surroundings.
A) 1.30 minutes
B) 241 minutes
C) 45.3 minutes
O D) 77.7 minutes
The amount of heat per second conducted from the blood capillaries beneath the skin to the surface is 260 J/s. The energy is
transferred a distance of 1.5 x 103 m through a body whose surface area is 1.4 m². Assuming that the thermal conductivity is that of
body fat, determine the temperature difference between the capillaries and the surface of the skin.
