Chapter 14: Problem 53

The thermal conductivity of the fur (including the skin) of a male Husky dog is \(0.026 \mathrm{W} /(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K}) .\) The dog's heat output is measured to be \(51 \mathrm{W}\), its internal temperature is $38^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\( its surface area is \)1.31 \mathrm{m}^{2},$ and the thickness of the fur is \(5.0 \mathrm{cm} .\) How cold can the outside temperature be before the dog must increase its heat output?

Short Answer

Expert verified
The minimum outside temperature before the dog must increase its heat output is approximately -36.9掳C.

Step by step solution

01

Convert the thickness of the fur to meters

The thickness of the fur is given in centimeters. Convert it to meters: \(d = 5.0 \mathrm{cm} = 0.05 \mathrm{m}\)
02

Identify the known variables

The known variables are: - Thermal conductivity, \(k = 0.026 \mathrm{W} /(\mathrm{m} \cdot \mathrm{K})\) - Heat output, \(Q = 51 \mathrm{W}\) - Internal temperature, \(T_{hot} = 38^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) - Surface area, \(A = 1.31 \mathrm{m}^2\) - Thickness of the fur, \(d = 0.05 \mathrm{m}\)
03

Rearrange the heat transfer formula to solve for \(T_{cold}\)

We will rearrange the formula to solve for the temperature of the colder side: \(T_{cold} = T_{hot} - \frac{Q * d}{k * A}\)
04

Substitute the known values and solve for \(T_{cold}\)

Now, plug the known values into the formula and solve for the outside temperature: \(T_{cold} = 38 - \frac{51 * 0.05}{0.026 * 1.31} = 38 - \frac{2.55}{0.03406} \approx 38 - 74.9\) \(T_{cold} \approx -36.9^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) So, the outside temperature can be as low as approximately \(-36.9^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) before the Husky dog must increase its heat output.

While camping, some students decide to make hot chocolate by heating water with a solar heater that focuses sunlight onto a small area. Sunlight falls on their solar heater, of area \(1.5 \mathrm{m}^{2},\) with an intensity of $750 \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ How long will it take 1.0 L of water at \(15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to rise to a boiling temperature of $100.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
Five ice cubes, each with a mass of \(22.0 \mathrm{g}\) and at a temperature of \(-50.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) are placed in an insulating container. How much heat will it take to change the ice cubes completely into steam?
For a cheetah, \(70.0 \%\) of the energy expended during exertion is internal work done on the cheetah's system and is dissipated within his body; for a dog only \(5.00 \%\) of the energy expended is dissipated within the dog's body. Assume that both animals expend the same total amount of energy during exertion, both have the same heat capacity, and the cheetah is 2.00 times as heavy as the dog. (a) How much higher is the temperature change of the cheetah compared to the temperature change of the dog? (b) If they both start out at an initial temperature of \(35.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) and the cheetah has a temperature of \(40.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) after the exertion, what is the final temperature of the dog? Which animal probably has more endurance? Explain.
A chamber with a fixed volume of \(1.0 \mathrm{m}^{3}\) contains a monatomic gas at \(3.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{K} .\) The chamber is heated to a temperature of \(4.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{K}\). This operation requires \(10.0 \mathrm{J}\) of heat. (Assume all the energy is transferred to the gas.) How many gas molecules are in the chamber?
An incandescent light bulb radiates at a rate of \(60.0 \mathrm{W}\) when the temperature of its filament is \(2820 \mathrm{K}\). During a brownout (temporary drop in line voltage), the power radiated drops to \(58.0 \mathrm{W} .\) What is the temperature of the filament? Neglect changes in the filament's length and cross-sectional area due to the temperature change. (tutorial: light bulb)
