Use the data provided below to calculate the average loss of water from the snowpack (mm/day) due to sublimation or evaporation for the months of November (dry snowpack) and May (liquid water in snowpack). To answer this question, remember that watts (W) are equal to Joules per second (J/s), and that there are 1000 kilograms of water per cubic meter of water (7 points).

  1. November, daily average latent heat flux was -77.11 W/m2. Convert this to mm/day of water loss from the snowpack.
  2. May, daily average latent heat flux was -51.6 W/m2. Convert this to mm/day of water loss from the snowpack.

I'm having trouble specifically with the unit conversions. Please write out how the units cancel out.

The average human metabolizes 2000 kcal/day. Some of this energy is converted into work, but the majority is wasted heat. With a skin area of 1.50 m2 , a skin temperature of 27.0o C, and an effective emissivity of e = 0.600, some of this wasted heat is released into the 20.0o C environment via radiation. The rest of the waste heat is removed by evaporating water, either as perspiration or from the lungs during breathing. At core body temperature...

A water drop slung onto a skillet with a temperature between 100°C and 200°C will remain a liquid for about 1 second. However, if the skillet is much hotter the drop can last several minutes. This is due to the Leidenfrost Effect, named after an early investigator (circa 1756). The longer lifetime is due to the support of a thin layer of air and water vapor that separates the drop from the metal (by a distance L, as shown in...
