Evaporation of water from our skin is a very important mechanism for controlling body temperature.
In a 4.5-h intense cycling race, a cyclist can loses 9.5 kg of water through perspiration. Estimate how much heat the cyclist loses in the process.
Homework Answers
considering normal body temperature to be 37 deg C .
first energy needed to raise temperature to 100 deg C.
Q1 = m c deltT = 9.5 x 4186 x (100 - 37) = 2505321 J
energy needed to evaporation ,
Q2 = mL = 9.5 x 2256 x 10^3 = 21432000 J
total heat lost = Q1 + Q2 = 23927321 J

In exercising, a weight lifter loses 0.174 kg of water through evaporation, the heat required to evaporate the water coming from the weight lifter's body. The work done in lifting weights is 1.40E+5 J. Assuming that the latent heat of vaporization of perspiration is 2.40E+6 J/kg, find the change in the internal energy of the weight lifter.

5) How much heat is required to warm 1.50 L of water from 25.0 °C to 100 °C? (Density of water = 1,0 g/mL for the water; Cs of water 4.18 J/g oC). Evaporating sweat cools the body because evaporation is an endothermic process which can be expressed using the following reaction: H20 (g) AHOxn +44.01 kJ H2O (I) Estimate the mass of water that must evaporate from the skin to cool the body by 0.5 °C. Assume a body...

Camels require very little water because they are able to tolerate relatively large changes in their body temperature. While humans keep their body temperatures constant to within one or two Celsius degrees, a dehydrated camel permits its body temperature to drop to 34.0 ∘C overnight and rise to 41.0 ∘C during the day. Part A To see how effective this mechanism is for saving water, calculate how many liters of water a 420 kg camel would have to drink if...

P1. Consider treating severely burned humans by cooling their body in an air or water bath at 15 °C for 12-20 hours. An estimate of the heat transfer rate from the patient to such a bath is q,-125 kcal/(m2 hr) with a skin temperature of 25 °C, while the normal rate is q,-50 kcal/(m hr) when the skin temperature is 34 °C. Since more heat will be lost to the surroundings than under normal conditions, there will need to be...

Thermal question
A 60-kg hiker plans to climb Mt Kosciuszko (2228 m) starting from Thredbo (1365m). Assume that she is 25% efficient at converting chemical energy from food into mechanical work, and that essentially all the work goes into the vertical climb. (a) (3 marks) With reference to the data above, how many servings of Nutrigrain should she eat to provide enough energy for the climb? (b) (6 marks) Climbing a mountain warms you up, and makes you sweat one...

(1) A pig lying on a 2.0 cm thick wood floor has its belly in contact with the floor. Let the contact surface area of pig's belly and floor floor be 3000 cmn'. The floor is cooler than the pig's body temperature (30°C), and at a temperature of 0.0 °C. The thermal conductivity of wood is 0.126 W/m °K. What is the conductive heat transfer under steady-state conditions? (2) The Born energy EB (SI unit kcal/mol) is a measure of...

(33%) Problem 3: Warm blooded animals are homeothermic that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (For humans it's about 37°C.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that...
