- Consider two identical people each generating 60W of metabolic heat steadily while doing sedentary work anddissipating it by convection and perspiration. The first personis wearing clothes made of 1-mm-thick leather (k =0.159 W/m·K) that covers half of the body while the secondone is wearing clothes made of 1-mm-thick synthetic fabric(k = 0.13 W/m·K) that covers the body completely. Theambient air is at 30°C, the heat transfer coefficient at theouter surface is 15 W/m2·K, and the inner surface temperatureof the clothes can be taken to be 32°C. Treating the bodyof each person as a 25-cm-diameter, 1.7-m-long cylinder,determine the fractions of heat lost from each person by perspiration.arrow_forwardAn ice chest whose outer dimensions are 30 cm*40 cm*40 cm is made of 3 cm thick Styrofoam (k = 0.033 W/m°C). Initially, the chest is filled with 30 kg of ice at 0 °C, and the inner surface temperature of the ice chest can be taken to be 0 °C at all times. The heat of fusion of water at 0 °C is 333.7 kJ/kg, and the surrounding ambient air is at 20 °C. Disregarding any heat transfer from the 40 cm*40 cm base of the ice chest, determine how long it will take for the ice in the chest to melt completely if the ice chest is subjected to (a) calm air and (b) winds at 30 km/h (assume the heat transfer coefficient on the front, back and top surfaces to be the same as that on the side surfaces). Use the thermophysical properties of air as follows: k = 25.5×10-3 W/mK, ν = 15×10-6 m2/s, α = 21.1×10-6 m2/s, and β = 3.43×10-3 K-1.arrow_forwardConsider a furnace (as a plane wall) which has a thickness of 15 cm and a surface area of 1 m?.
