The human body, while at rest, produces heat energy at a rate of about 117 W. How much sweat (in g) must evaporate every minute from their skin to carry away this excess energy? (Note: according to your book, the latent heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.43 * 106 J/kg).
Answer step by step.
Subject: Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
Digestingfat produces 9.3 food calories per gram of fat, and typically 80%of this energy goes to heat when metabolized. (One food calorie is1000 calories and therefore equals 4186 J.) The body then movesall this heat to the surface by a combination of thermal conductivityand motion of the blood. The internal temperature of the body(where digestion occurs) is normally 37 C, and the surface is usuallyabout 30 C. By how much do the digestion and metabolism of a2.50 g pat of butter change your body’s entropy? Does it increase ordecrease?

The melting point of aluminum is 660°C.)arrow_forwardA small electric immersion heater is used to heat 79 g of water for a cup of instant coffee. The heater is labeled “160 watts” (it converts electrical energy to thermal energy at this rate). Calculate the time required to bring all this water from 23°C to 100°C, ignoring any heat losses. (The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg·K.)arrow_forward
- At the rate of 30kW* and pls indicate a diagram. Thanksarrow_forwardA pronghorn antelope can run at a remarkable 18 m/sm/s for up to 10 minutes, almost triple the speed that an elite human runner can maintain. For a 32 kgkg pronghorn, this requires an astonishing 3.4 kWkW of metabolic power, which leads to a significant increase in body temperature. If the pronghorn had no way to exhaust heat to the environment, by how much would its body temperature increase during this run? (In fact, it will lose some heat, so the rise won't be this dramatic, but it will be quite noticeable, requiring adaptations that keep the pronghorn's brain cooler than its body in such circumstances.) Assume the efficiency of the pronghorn to be equal to that of human.arrow_forwardPlease answer the question with steps.. Thank youarrow_forward
