Chapter 3: Q43E (page 576)

In the situation described in Exercise 17.42, the man鈥檚 metabolism will eventually return the temperature of his body (and of the soft drink that he consumed) to 37.00C. If his body releases energy at a rate of 7.00脳103kJ/day(the basal metabolic rate, or BMR), how long does this take? Assume that all of the released energy goes into raising the temperature.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The metabolism will take7.6minto bring back the body to the initial temperature.

Step by step solution

01

Heat flow equation

The heat flow equation in a body of mass and specific heat capacity c for a temperature change of未T is given by Q=mc未T.

02

Calculate the time using the heat flow equation

The rate of release of heat is 7脳103kJ/day=81.01J/s.

Mass is , specific heat capacity is 3480J/kg0Cand change in temperature is0.150C .

Using the heat flow equation

螖Q螖t=mc未Ttt=mc未T螖Q螖tt=70脳3480脳0.1581.01t=456st=7.6min

So, the metabolism will take 7.6minto bring back the body to the initial temperature.

The prevailing winds on the Hawaiian island of Kauai blow from the northeast. The winds cool as they go up the slope of Mt. Waialeale (elevation 1523 m), causing water vapor to condense and rain to fall. There is much more precipitation at the summit than at the base of the mountain. In fact, Mt. Waialeale is the rainiest spot on earth, averaging 11.7 m of rainfall a year. But what makes the winds cool?

Like the Kelvin scale, the Rankinescaleis an absolute temperature scale: Absolute zero is zero degrees Rankine (0潞R). However, the units of this scale are the same size as those of the Fahrenheit scale rather than the Celsius scale. What is the numerical value of the triple-point temperature of water on the Rankine scale?

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains 0.110 m3of air at a pressure of 0.355 atm. The piston is slowly pulled out until the volume of the gas is increased to 0.390 m3. If the temperature remains constant, what is the final value of the pressure?

Compare the pV-diagram for the Otto cycle in Fig. 20.6with the diagram for the Carnot heat engine in Fig. 20.13. Explain some of the important differences between the two cycles.

The gas inside a balloon will always have a pressure nearly equal to atmospheric pressure since that is the pressure applied to the outside of the balloon. You fill a balloon with helium (a nearly ideal gas) to a volume of 0.600 L at 19.0掳C. What is the volume of the balloon if you cool it to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen (77.3 K)?
