Most of the energy we consume as food is converted to thermal energy in the process of performing all our bodily functions and is ultimately lost from our bodies. Consider a person who consumes 2100kcal per day (note that what are commonly referred to as food calories are actually kilocalories), of which 2000kcal is converted to thermal energy. The remaining 100kcal is used to do work on the environment. The person has a surface area of 1.8m2 and is dressed in a bathing suit.
a. The person is in a room at 18oC, with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 3W/m2⋅K at this air temperature, the person is not perspiring much. Estimate the person's average skin temperature.
b. If the temperature of the environment were 33oC, what rate of perspiration would be needed to maintain a comfortable skin temperature of 33oC?

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.
