solar panels have an emissivity of e=0.465. When in direct sunlight they absorb energy at rate of 857J/s per square meter of serface. Assume that only energy loss is due to the emission radiation. What equilibrium temperature are panels reaching?
Alligators and other reptiles don’t use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night and must warm up in the sun in the morning. Suppose a 300 kg alligator with an early-morning bodytemperature of 25°C is absorbing radiation from the sun at a rate of 1200 W. How long will the alligator need to warm up to a more favorable 30°C? (Assume that the specific heat of the reptilian body is the same as that of the mammalian body.)
When energy shortages occur, magazine articles sometimes urge us to keep our homes at a constant temperature day and night to conserve fuel. They argue that when we turn down the heat at night, the walls, ceilings, and other areas cool off and must be reheated in the morning. So if we keep the temperature constant, these parts of the house will not cool off and will not have to be reheated. Does this argument make sense? Would we really save energy by following this advice?

- The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. Fat and skin have conductivities of about 0.20 W/m K and 0.020 W/m K, respectively, while other tissues inside the body have conductivities of about 0.50 W/m K. Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin sin face lies a skin layer of 1.0 mm, fat layer of 0.50 cm, and 3.2 cm of other tissues. (a) Find the R-factor for each of these layers, and the equivalent R-factor for all layers taken together, retaining two digits.

- Hydrothermal vents deep on the ocean floor spout water at temperatures as high as 570°C. This temperature is below the boiling point of water because of the immense pressure at that depth. Because the surrounding ocean temperature is at 4.0°C, an organism could use the temperature gradient as a source of energy. (a) Assuming the specific heat of water under these conditions is 1.0 cal/g ? °C, how much energy is released when 1.0 liter of water is cooled from 570°C to 4.0°C? (b) What is the maximum usable energy an organism can extract from this energy source? (Assume the organism has some internal type of heat engine acting between the two temperature extremes.) (c) Water from these vents contains hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) at a concentration of 0.90 mmole/liter. Oxidation of 1.0 mole of H2 S produces 310 kJ of energy. How much energy is available through H2 S oxidation of 1.0 L of water?arrow_forwardBecause water is a much more efficient thermal conductor than air, marine mammals often have thick layers of blubber (under-skin fat, with a thermal conductivity of 0.250 W/(m °C)) and a small surface-to-volume ratio to minimize the loss of energy by heat to the surrounding water. The beluga whale, Delphinapterus leucas, is a species of whale native to the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The core body temperature of this whale is usually 37.0°C, and its basal metabolic rate (BMR) is 7.30 x 104 kJ/day. The beluga often finds itself near the Arctic ice sheet, where the water temperature is very close to 0°C. (a) Modeling the body of the whale as a cylinder of length h = 4.10 m and diameter d = 1.20 m,estimate the average thickness (in cm) of the beluga's blubber required to keep the core temperature of the whale fixed at 37.0°C. (For simplicity, treat the blubber layer on the lateral cylindrical surface as a rectangular slab with a constant area. Take the front and rear surfaces of the…arrow_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_forward
- A 100-gram apple is dropped off a 200 m high cliff. As it falls its temperature drops by 2.5 °C due to the cool surrounding air. If its heat capacity is 4100 J/(kg.K), determine which is greater, the decrease in potential energy as it moves from the top to bottom of the cliff or the decrease in internal energy.arrow_forwardA passive solar house that is losing heat to the outdoors at 3°C at an average rate of 50,000 kJ/h is maintained at 22°C at all times during a winter night for 10 h. The house is heated by 50 glass containers, each containing 20 L of water that is heated to 80°C during the day by absorbing solar energy.arrow_forwardA 200 g iceball can be launched from a custom launcher at 250 m/s. The iceball is initially at -5oC when it is shot vertically upwards, and by the time the iceball starts to fall down again 10 g of the ice has melted away. What is the maximum height of the iceball? The specific heat of ice is 2100 J/(kg oC) and the latent heat of fusion for ice is 334,000 J/kg.arrow_forward
