.A 70Kg runner loses 0.5kg of water each hour through evaporation of perspiration in
order to maintain a stable temperature. The latent heat of water at his skin temperature
is 2440kJ/kg and the average specific heat of his body is 3.5kJ/kg*K. If he stopped
perspiring, how much would his temperature rise in the following 30 minutes?
The intensity of solar radiation above the earth’s atmosphere is about 1300 W/m2. The earth’s average surface temperature is relatively constant over geological time spans, so the energy the earth receives from the sun must be balanced by energy the earth reradiates in all directions into space. If the earth were to have a uniform temperature over its entire surface, what would the temperature be?
Water freezes at 0°C at atmospheric pressure (1.01×105 Pa). The densities of water and
ice at this temperature and pressure are 1000 kg/m³ and 934 kg/m³ respectively. The
latent heat of fusion is 3.34×105 J/kg . The pressure required for increasing the melting
temperature of ice by 10°C is....
