A person infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus is running a fever with an internal body temperature of 103 °F (39.4 °C). This raises the
person's skin temperature to 36.5 °C. The person is standing unclothed in a room with an ambient temperature of 21.0 °C. If the
temperature of the person's skin is maintained at 36.5 °C solely by the energy obtained from the metabolic conversion of food, how
many Calories would this person have to consume per hour? Assume heat is lost only by radiation, and the surface area and emissivity
of the person's skin are 1.50 m² and 0.800, respectively.

For bacteriological testing of water supplies and in medical clinics, samples must routinely be incubated for 24 h at 37°C. A standard constant - temperature bath with electric heating and thermostatic control is not suitable in developing nations without continuously operating electric power lines. Peace Corps volunteer and MIT engineer Amy Smith invented a low - cost, low-maintenance incubator to fill the need. The device consists of a foam-insulated box containing several packets of a waxy material that melts at 37.0°C, interspersed among tubes, dishes, or bottles containing the test samples and growth medium (food for bacteria). Outside the box, the waxy material is first melted by a stove or solar energy collector. Then it is put into the box to keep the test samples warm as it solidifies. The heat of fusion of the phase-change material is 205 kJ/kg. Model the insulation as a panel with surface area 0.490 m2, thickness 9.50 cm, and conductivity 0.012 0 W/m ∙ °C. Assume the…

- Approximately how long should it take 8.8 kg of ice at 0°C to melt when it is placed in a carefully sealed Styrofoam ice chest of dimensions 25 cm x 35 cm x 55 cm whose walls are 1.4 cm thick? Assume that the conductivity of Styrofoam is double that of air and that the outside temperature is 34 °C. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. t = μА Value Units ?arrow_forwardWhen you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37° C) by warming up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 422 kilocalories during a brisk hour-long walk. How many liters of ice water (0° C) would you have to drink in order to use up 422 kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about 1 liter.arrow_forwardYou read in a popular diet blog that the author claims you can lose up to half a pound of body fat per week if, instead of drinking 1.9 liters (i.e., 1.9 kilograms) of water every day, you can eat the same amount of water in the form of ice. The reasoning is that your body must first melt the ice and then bring the ice water up to the body temperature of 37°C, which is a process that requires a significant amount of energy at the expense of “burned” body fat. Thankfully, you just finished discussing heat and phase changes in your physics class, so you can calculate exactly how much energy is expended. The specific heat and latent heat of fusion for water are 4.186 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C) and 3.34×105 J/kg, respectively a) How many kilocalories do you expend when you eat 1.9 kg of ice at 0°C? Note that 1 kcal = 4186 J. b) Assuming the metabolism of one pound of body fat produces 3500 kcal of energy, how many pounds of body fat could you lose in a week just by eating 1.9 kilograms of ice every…arrow_forward
- The reaction rate for the prepupal development of male Drosophila is temperature-dependent. Assuming that the reaction rate is exponential as in R ∝ e−Ea/(kBT), the activation energy for this development is 3.41 × 10−19 J. A Drosophila is originally at 19.00°C, and its temperature is increasing. If the rate of development has increased 3.50%, how much has its temperature increased? The value of the Boltzmann constant is 1.381 × 10−23 J/Karrow_forwardWhile swimming, conduction can play a big role in heat loss from the body. The body of one swimmer has a total surface area of 1.80 m2 and an average thickness of 1.60 mm. The skin's thermal conductivity is 0.370 W/m-K. If the water's temperature is 20.0°C, and the blood reaching the inner surface of the skin is at 37.0°C, what is the rate of energy loss for that person through conduction?arrow_forwardAlligators and other reptiles don’t use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)arrow_forward
- A Styrofoam ice box has a total area of 0.950 m² and walls with an average thickness of 2.50 cm. The box contains ice, water, and canned beverages at 0°C. The inside of the box is kept cold by melting ice. How much ice melts in one day if the ice box is kept in the trunk of a car at 35.0°C?arrow_forwardAn apartment has a living room whose dimensions are 3.0 m x 4.9 m x 5.6 m. Assume that the air in the room is composed of 79% nitrogen (N2) and 21% oxygen (O2). At a temperature of 22 °C and a pressure of 1.01 x 105 Pa, what is the mass (in grams) of the air?arrow_forwardWhen people exercise, they report feeling exhaustion when their body temperature rises to 39.7°C. A 68 kg man is running at 15 km/h on a hot, muggy day—so hot and muggy that he can’t lose any heat to the environment. His body temperature starts at 37.0°C. How long can he run before he feels exhausted?arrow_forward
