Chapter 16, Problem 15E
In its 2014 report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projected a global temperature increase of 1.4°C to 3.1°C during the 21st century, for a scenario in which atmospheric carbon dioxide reaches about 700 parts per million by 2100 (it’s now about 400 ppm and rising at about 2.4 ppm/year). Translate this range into Fahrenheit.

According to the USDA, an average, \moderately active" college student needs
to eat 2500 calories per day. These \calories" are actually kilocalories, or kcal; and, we
prefer to use Joules (J) in geophysics. The conversion is 1 kcal = 4187 J. The average
geothermal heat ux is 60 mW/m2. How large an area on Earth's surface releases the
same amount of energy in one day as used by the average college student in a day?
Overall, 80% of the energy used by the body must be eliminated as excess thermal energy and needs to be dissipated. The
mechanisms of elimination are radiation, evaporation of sweat (2,430 kJ/kg), evaporation from the lungs (38 kJ/h),
conduction, and convection.
A person working out in a gym has a metabolic rate of 2,500 kJ/h. His body temperature is 37°C, and the outside

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.
