a) The metabolic energy generated in the person is 3.1´106 J in a 6 hour period, and this is balanced by cooling of the body by 0.6 L of perspiration and radiative cooling (you can neglect conductive and convection cooling). What is the effective surface area of the person?

Consider a 60kg person. The forehead is well known to be a body location that indicates the internal body temperature. For this person, the forehead is at the internal body temperature of 38.3°C, and the tip of nose remains at the room temperature of 25°C. Given that the emissivity of the body is 0.8, how many times more is the radiative intensity (Wm-2) of the forehead compared to the nose? What is the net radiative intensity (in Wm-2) of the...

A person's body is producing energy internally due to metabolic processes. If the body loses more energy than metabolic processes are generating, its temperature will drop. If the drop is severe, it can be life-threatening. Suppose a person is unclothed and energy is being lost via radiation from a body surface area of 1.24 m2, which has a temperature of 34 °C and an emissivity of 0.582. Suppose that metabolic processes are producing energy at a rate of 105 J/s....

Consider a poor lost soul walking at 5 km/h on a hot day in the desert, wearing only a bathing suit. This person's skin temperature tends to rise due to four mechanisms: (i) energy is generated by metabolic reactions in the body at a rate of 300 W , and almost all of this energy is converted to heat that flows to the skin; (ii) heat is delivered to the skin by convection from the outside air at a rate...

      MK Restaurant: Branding of Thai-Style Hotpot The restaurant industry is one of the most competitive in Thailand. With a large number of players ranging from restaurants in five-star hotels, global fast-food chains to small stalls along the streets and everything in between, the Thais are spoiled for choice. In addition, as the world becomes globalized, consumers are familiar with international dishes and would not hesitate to try new offerings from the other side of the globe. As a...
