- Living creatures generally have a higher temperature than their environment. Explain why this makes sense.arrow_forwardAt night, the surface of the earth cools, mostly by radiation. The surface radiates energy upward; the much cooler sky above radiates much less.

Why does being under a tree keep the ground warmer?arrow_forwardExample: A water tank with a wall thickness of 10 mm and a water temperature of 90 "C.)

- Suppose that the Earth wore a snug steel belt around its equator (r = 6378 km). If everyone on Earth breathed on this steel belt simultaneously so that the belt's temperature increased by 2°C, how high off of the Earth would the belt be lifted? Hint: the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 0.000012 Convert your answer from km to feet. 1 km = 1000 m 1 meter = 3.28 feetarrow_forwardIt is well known that wind makes the cold air feel much colder as a result of the wind chill effect that is due to the increase in the convection heat transfer coefficient with increasing air velocity. The wind chill effect is usually expressed in terms of the wind chill temperature (WCT), which is the apparent temperature felt by exposed skin. For outdoor air temperature of 0°C, for example, the wind chill temperature is 25°C at 20 km/h winds and -9°C at 60 km/h winds. That is, a person exposed to 0°C windy air at 20 km/h will feel as cold as a person exposed to -5°C calm air (air motion under 5 km/h). For heat transfer purposes, a standing man can be modeled as a 30-cm-diameter, 170-cm-long vertical cylinder with both the top and bottom surfaces insulated and with the side surface at an average temperature of 34°C. For a convection heat transfer coefficient of 15 W/m2·K, determine the rate of heat loss from this man by convection in still air at 20°C.
