Question

2. At the onset of fever the body temperature rises continually with little% heat loss from the body. If heat is not removed by such means as cold% packs, ice, etc., how long will it take the body to reach a critical% temperature of 41 C? Use 0.86 kcal kg^-1 C^_1 as the heat capacity of% the human body, 1750 kcal/day as the basal heat production, and 70 kg as% the body mass

Could you please put the detailed working of the work and units. Thank you!

Answer 1

Rate of heat production, Q = 1750 kcal/day (since II day = 864005 1728 . = 1750 kcal . 864005 Q = 35 kcal/s Normal body temperature, Ti = 37°C final body temperature, If = 41°C mars, m= 70 kg Heat capacity, C=0.86 kali Heat required. Q = m c (Tf - Ti) = 70kg x 0.86 Kol kg 1 °C (HIC - 37°c) Q = 240.8 kcal time needed, t = a t = 24018 kcal 35 Keal's 1728 t- 11,888.64 seconds t = 198.144 minutes t = 3.3024 hours.
