The blood plays an important role in removing heat from the body by bringing this heat directly to the surface where it can radiate away. Nevertheless, this heat must still travel through the skin before it can radiate away. We shall assume that the blood is brought to the bottom layer of skin at a temperature of \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and that the outer surface of the skin is at \(30.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\).

Global warming. As the earth warms, sea level will rise due to melting of the polar ice and thermal expansion of the oceans. Estimates of the expected temperature increase vary, but \(3.5 \mathrm{C}^{\circ}\) by the end of the century has been plausibly suggested. If we assume that the temperature of the oceans also increases by this amount, how much will sea level rise by the year 2100 due only to the thermal expansion of the water? Assume, reasonably, that the ocean basins do not expand appreciably. The average depth of the ocean is \(4000 \mathrm{~m}\), and the coefficient of volume expansion of water at \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(0.207 \times 10^{-3}\left(\mathrm{C}^{\circ}\right)^{-1}\)
5 step solution
Problem 67
Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. The hot water is to be used when needed. The drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. Some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. No water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. A typical household shower flow rate is \(2.5 \mathrm{gal} / \mathrm{min}(9.46 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min})\) with the tap water being heated from \(50^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\left(10^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) to \(120^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\left(49^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) by the on-demand heater. What rate of heat input (either electrical or from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?

Problem 69
You have no doubt noticed that you usually shiver when you get out of the shower. Shivering is the body's way of generating heat to restore its internal temperature to the normal \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). and it produces approximately \(290 \mathrm{~W}\) of heat power per square meter of body area. A \(68 \mathrm{~kg}(150 \mathrm{lb}), 1.78 \mathrm{~m}(5 \mathrm{ft}, 10\) in.) person has approximately \(1.8 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\) of surface area. How long would this person have to shiver to raise his or her body temperature by \(1.0 \mathrm{C}^{\circ},\) assuming that none of this heat is lost by the body? The specific heat of the body is about \(3500 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K}).\)

4 step solution
Problem 75
Camels require very little water because they are able to tolerate relatively large changes in their body temperature. While humans keep their body temperatures constant to within one or two Celsius degrees, a dehydrated camel permits its body temperature to drop to \(34.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) overnight and rise to \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) during the day. To see how effective this mechanism is for saving water, calculate how many liters of water a \(400 \mathrm{~kg}\) camel would have to drink if it attempted to keep its body temperature at a constant \(34.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) by evaporation of sweat during the day (12 hours) instead of letting it rise to \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (Note: The specific heat of a camel or other mammal is about the same as that of a typical human, \(3480 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{K})\). The heat of vaporization of water at \(34^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) is \(2.42 \times 10^{6} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{kg} .\)
