Chapter 11, Problem 6P

In an average human, basic life processes require energy to be supplied at a steady rate of 100 W. What daily energy intake, in Calories, is required to maintain these basic processes?

A 60-kg hiker wishes to climb to the summit of Mt. Ogden, an ascent of 5000 vertical feet (1500 m). a.) Assuming that she is 25% efficient at converting chemical energy from food into mechanical work, and that essentially all the mechanical work is used to climb vertically, roughly how many bowls of corn flakes (standard serving size 1 ounce, 100 kilocalories) should the hiker eat before setting out?(b) As the hiker climbs the mountain, three-quarters of the energy from the corn flakes is converted to thermal energy. Ifthere were no way to dissipate this energy, by how many degrees would her body temperature increase?(c) In fact, the extra energy does not warm the hiker's body significantly; instead, it goes (mostly) into evaporating water from her skin. How many liters of water should she drink during the hike to replace the lost fluids? (At 25°C, a reasonable temperature to assume, the latent heat of vaporization of water is 580 cal/g, 8% more than at 100°C.)
As a gasoline engine is running, an amount of gasoline containing 13,600 J of chemical potential energy is burned in 1 s. During that second, the engine does 3,400 J of work. (a) What is the engine's efficiency (in percent)? % (b) The burning gasoline has a temperature of about 4,100°F (2,500 K). The waste heat from the engine flows into air at about 90°F (305 K). What is the Carnot efficiency (in percent) of a heat engine operating between these two temperatures? Need Help? % Read It
The steam supplied to an engine liberates 5000 J of heat. If the engine efficiency is only 40 percent, to what height a body of mass 10 kg can be lifted using the work output from the engine?
