If you were to walk briefly in space without a spacesuit while far from the Sun (as an astronaut does in the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey), you would feel the cold of space鈥攚hile you radiated energy, you would absorb almost none from your environment. (a) At what rate would you lose energy? (b) How much energy would you lose in 30s? Assume that your emissivity is 0.90, and estimate other data needed in the calculations.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The rate at which the person loses the energy is 8.26102W
  2. The energy lost in 30 s is 2.47104J

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Surface area of average human body, A=2鈥尘2
  2. Skin temperature of human, T=310鈥块
  3. Emissivity of human, =0.90

Understanding the concept of thermal radiation

Thermal radiation is the process of transferring heat through electromagnetic radiation that is produced by the thermal motion of matter particles. We use the concept of radiation to calculate the rate of energy loss. Using the equation for the rate at which the object loses energy, we can find the energy lost by the person.

Formulae:

The rate at which the sphere emits thermal radiation, Prad=AT4 鈥(颈)

Where,is the Stefan鈥揃oltzmann constant and is equal to(5.67108W/m2K4)

is the emissivity, A is the area and T is the temperature

The energy lost by the body due to radiation, E=Pradt 鈥(颈颈)

Where,t is the time

03

(a) Calculation of rate of energy lost by the person

Using equation (i), the rate of the energy lost by the person can be given as:

Prad=(5.67108鈥塛/尘2.K4)(0.9)(2.0鈥尘2)(300鈥块)4=8.26102W

Hence, the rate at which energy is lost is 8.26102W

04

(b) Calculation of energy lost in the process

Energy that the person would lose incan be given using equation (ii) as:

E=(8102W)(30s)=2.47104J

Hence, the energy lost by the person is 2.47104J

Figure represents a closed cycle for a gas (the figure is not drawn to scale). The change in the internal energy of the gas as it moves from a to c along the path abc is200鈥塉. As it moves from c to d, 180Jmust be transferred to it as heat. An additional transfer of80Jto it as heat is needed as it moves from d to a. How much work is done on the gas as it moves from c to d?

Ice has formed on a shallow pond, and a steady state has been reached, with the air above the ice at5.0潞颁and the bottom of the pond at.4.0潞颁 If the total depth of ice + water is,1.4m how thick is the ice? (Assume that the thermal conductivities of ice and water are0.40and, 0.12cal/m.0C.srespectively.)

An athlete needs to lose weight and decides to do it by 鈥減umping iron.鈥 (a) How many times must a 80.0kgweight be lifted a distance of 1.00min order to burn off 1.00lbof fat, assuming that that much fat is equivalent to 3500Cal?(b) If the weight is lifted once every2.00s, how long does the task take?

Figure 18-26 shows three different arrangements of materials 1, 2, and 3 to form a wall. The thermal conductivities are k1>k2>k3. The left side of the wall is20 higher than the right side. Rank the arrangements according to (a) the (steady state) rate of energy conduction through the wall and (b) the temperature difference across material 1, greatest first.

Leidenfrost Effect. A water drop that is slung onto a skillet with a temperature between 100掳颁 and about 200掳颁will last about . However, if the skillet is much hotter, the drop can last several minutes, an effect named after an early investigator. The longer lifetime is due to the support of a thin layer of air and water vapor that separates the drop from the metal (by distance L in Figure). Let L=0.100mm , and assume that the drop is flat withheight h=1.50mmand bottom face area A=4.00106m2 . Also assume that the skillet has a constant temperature Ts=300掳颁 and the drop has a temperature of 100掳颁 .Water has density =1000kg/m3, and the supporting layer has thermal conductivity k=0.026鈥塛/尘.K . (a) At what rate is energy conducted from the skillet to the drop through the drop鈥檚 bottom surface? (b) If conduction is the primary way energy moves from the skillet to the drop, how long will the drop last?
