Energy needed to maintain skin temperature
Answer to Problem 3P
Solution:
Energy needed to maintain skin temperature of 35 C
Explanation of Solution
Formula Used:
The formula used is the relation between temperature and specific heat from
Where,
is the
is the specific heat
is the mass
is the final temperature
is the initial temperature
Given:
is thermal energy to be determined
of water is 4186 J/kgK
is mass of water
is density of water is1000 kg/cu.m
is surface area of water body which is 1 sq. m
is thickness of water body which is 0.5 mm or m
is 35 C
is 10 C
Calculation:
The mass of water is determined by the multiplying density with volume
Volume is given by multiplying area with thickness
Now the mass becomes:
Substituting the values,
kg
Inserting the given values in the heat capacity formula:
