Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average surface temperature. Suppose a seal has a 0.030 m2 thermal window at a temperature of 30°C. If the seal’s surroundings are a frosty -10°C, what is the net rate of energy loss by radiation? Assume an emissivity equal to that of a human.
The average thermal conductivity of the walls (including windows) and roof of a house in the figure shown below is 4.8 x 104 kW/m - °C, and their
average thickness is 21.4 cm. The house is heated with natural gas, with a heat of combustion (energy given off per cubic meter of gas burned) of
9,300 kcal/m3. How many cubic meters of gas must be burned each day to maintain an inside temperature of 24.0°C if the outside temperature is
0.0°C? Disregard surface air layers, radiation, and energy loss by heat through the ground.

- (a) What is the rate of heat conduction through the 3.00-cm-thick fur of a large animal having a I .40-m surface area? Assume that the animal's skin temperature is 32.0 , that the air temperature is 5.00 , and that has the same thermal conductivity as air. (b) What food intake will the animal need in one day to replace this heat transfer?arrow_forwardTwo concrete spans that form a bridge of length L are placed end to end so that no room is allowed for expansion (Fig. P16.63a). If a temperature increase of T occurs, what is the height y to which the spans rise when they buckle (Fig. P16.63b)?arrow_forward(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a double-paned window that has a 150-m2 area and is made of two panes of 0.800 cm-thick glass separated by a 1.00 cm air gap. The inside surface temperature is 15.0 C, while that on the outside is 10.0 OC. (Hint: There are identical temperature drops across the two glass panes. First find these and then the temperature drop across the air gap. This problem ignores the increased heat transfer in the air gap due to convection.) (b) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a 1.60-cm-thick window of the same area and with the same temperatures. Compare your answer with that for part (a).arrow_forward
- For the human body, what is the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the body's tissue with the following conditions: the tissue thickness is 3.00 cm, the difference in temperature is 2.00 , and the skin area is 1.50 m2. How does this compare with the average heat transfer rate to the body resulting from an energy intake of about 2400 kcal per day? (No exercise is included.)arrow_forwardOne easy way to reduce heating (and cooling) costs is to add extra insulation in the attic of a house. Suppose a single-story cubical house already had 15 cm of fiberglass insulation in the attic and in all the exterior surfaces. If you added an extra 8.0 cm of fiberglass to the attic, by what percentage would the heating cost of the house drop? Take the house to have dimensions 10 m by 15 m by 3.0 m. Ignore air infiltration and heat loss through windows and doors, and assume that the interior is uniformly at one temperature and the exterior is uniformly at another.arrow_forwardAt high noon, the Sun delivers 1 000 W to each square meter of a blacktop road. If the hot asphalt transfers energy only by radiation, what is its steady-state temperature?arrow_forward
- A picture window has dimensions of 1.34 m by 2.65 m and is made of glass 5.93 mm thick. On a winter day, the outside temperature is -20°C, while the inside temperature is a comfortable 19.5°C. At what rate is heat being lost through the window by conduction? kglass = 0.80 W/m.K Round your answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardCalculate the rate of steady heat transfer from a 8 m-by-10 m roof of a building during a cold winter day. The roof temperature can be assumed to be constant at 12°C. The air temperature outside the building is -5°C. The sky temperature is -17°C. The solar irradiation at the location is 500 W/m². The convection coefficient can be assumed to be 8 W/m².°c. The emissivity of the roof is 0.75, and solar absorptivity is 0.4. Neglect any conduction via the walls to the ground. 2173 Warrow_forwardHumans are able to control their heat production rate and heat loss rate to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Tcore=37°C under a wide range of environmental conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin and fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, Ti = 35° C. Temperature of surrounding air is 10°C. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L= 3 mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 W/m.K and person has a surface area A= 1.8 m?. The person is dressed in a bathing suit with an extremely low thermal conductivity of 0.014 W/m K. The emissivity of the outer surface of wet suits is 0.95. What thickness of aerogel insulation is needed to reduce the heat loss rate to 100 W (a typical metabolic heat generation rate) in air and what is the…arrow_forward
- The air temperature above coastal areas is profoundly influenced by the large specific heat of water. One reason is that the energy released when 1 cubic meter of water cools by 1.0°C will raise the temperature of an enormously larger volume of air by 1.0°C. Estimate that volume of air. The specific heat of air is approximately 1.0 kJ/kg ? °C. Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg/m3.arrow_forwardThe inner and outer surfaces of a 25-cm-thick wall in summer are at 27°C and 44°C, respectively. The outer surface of the wall exchanges heat by radiation with surrounding surfaces at 40°C, and convection with ambient air also at 40°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 8 W/m2·K. Solar radiation is incident on the surface at a rate of 150 W/m2. If both the emissivity and the solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.8, determine the effective thermal conductivity of the wall.arrow_forwardA thermal window, with an area of 6.0m ^ 2, is constructed of two layers of glass, each 4.0mm thick, separated from each other by a 5.0mm air gap. If the inner surface is at 20.0 ° C and the outer surface is at -5.0 ° C, what is the rate of energy transfer by conduction through the window? The thermal conductivity of glass is 0.8 W⁄ (m. ° C) and that of air is 0.023 W⁄ (m. ° C)arrow_forward
