On-Demand Water Heaters. Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. The hot water is to be used when needed. The drawbacks are that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use and that you can run out of hot water if you use too much. Some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. No water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. A typical household shower flow rate is 2.5 gal min (9.46 L min) with the tap water being heated from 50F (10C) to 120F (49C) by the on-demand heater.

Jogging in the Heat of the Day. You have probably seen people jogging in extremely hot weather and wondered Why? As we shall see, there are good reasons not to do this! When jogging strenuously, an average runner of mass 68 kg and surface area \(1.85\mathrm{\ m}^2\) produces energy at a rate of up to 1300 W, 80% of which is converted to heat. The jogger radiates heat, but actually absorbs more from the hot air than he radiates away. At such high levels of activity, the skin's temperature can be elevated to around \(33^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) instead of the usual \(30^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). (We shall neglect conduction, which would bring even more heat into his body.) The only way for the body to get rid of this extra heat is by evaporating water (sweating). (a) How much heat per second is produced just by the act of jogging? (b) How much net heat per second does the runner gain just from radiation if the air temperature is \(40.0^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\ \left(104^{\circ}\mathrm{F}\right)\)? (Remember that he radiates out, but the environment radiates back in.) (c) What is the total amount of excess heat this runner's body must get rid of per second? (d) How much water must the jogger's body evaporate every minute due to his activity? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is \(2.42\times10^6\mathrm{\ J}/\mathrm{kg}\) (e) How many 750-mL bottles of water must he drink after (or preferably before!) jogging for a half hour? Recall that a liter of water has a mass of 1.0 kg.

Why Do the Seasons Lag? In the northern hemisphere, June 21 (the summer solstice) is both the longest day of the year and the day on which the sun's rays strike the earth most vertically, hence delivering the greatest amount of heat to the surface. Yet the hottest summer weather usually occurs about a month or so later. Let us see why this is the case. Because of the large specific heat of water, the oceans are slower to warm up than the land (and also slower to cool off in winter). In addition to perusing pertinent information in the tables included in this book, it is useful to know that approximately two-thirds of the earth's surface is ocean composed of salt water having a specific heat of \(3890\mathrm{\ J}/\mathrm{kg}\cdot\mathrm{K}\) and that the oceans, on the average, are 4000 m deep. Typically, an average of \(1050\mathrm{\ W}/\mathrm{m}^2\) of solar energy falls on the earth's surface, and the oceans absorb essentially all of the light that strikes them. However, most of that light is absorbed in the upper 100 m of the surface. Depths below that do not change temperature seasonally. Assume that the sunlight falls on the surface for only 12 hours per day and that the ocean retains all the heat it absorbs. What will be the rise in temperature of the upper 100 m of the oceans during the month following the summer solstice? Does this seem to be large enough to be perceptible?

Problem 30E On-Demand Water Heaters. Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. The hot water is to be used when needed. The drawbacks are that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use and that you can run out of hot water if you use too much. Some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. No water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. A typical household shower flow rate is 2.5 gal/min (9.46 L/min) with the tap water being heated from 50°F (10°C) to 120°F (49°C) by the on-demand heater.

Problem 117P BIO Jogging in the Heat of the Day. You have probably seen people jogging in extremely hot weather. There are good reasons not to do this! When jogging strenuously, an average runner of mass 68 kg and surface area 1.85 m2 produces energy at a rate of up to 1300 W, 80% of which is converted to heat. The jogger radiates heat but actually absorbs more from the hot air than he radiates away. At such high levels of activity, the skin’s temperature can be elevated to around 33°C instead of the usual 30°C. (Ignore conduction, which would bring even more heat into his body.) The only way for the body to get rid of this extra heat is by evaporating water (sweating). (a) How much heat per second is produced just by the act of jogging? (b) How much net heat per second does the runner gain just from radiation if the air temperature is 40.0°C (104°F)? (Remember: He radiates out, but the environment radiates back in.) (c) What is the total amount of excess heat this runner’s body must get rid of per second? (d) How much water must his body evaporate every minute due to his activity? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature is 2.42 X 106 J/kg. (e) How many 750-mL bottles of water must he drink after (or preferably before!) jogging for a half hour? Recall that a liter of water has a mass of 1.0 kg.

Food Intake of a Hamster. The energy output of an animal engaged in an activity is called the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and is a measure of the conversion of food energy into other forms of energy. A simple calorimeter to measure the BMR consists of an insulated box with a thermometer to measure the temperature of the air. The air has density \(1.20 kg/m^{3}\) and specific heat 1020 J/kg \(\cdot\) K. A 50.0 g hamster is placed in a calorimeter that contains \(0.0500 m^{3}\) of air at room temperature. (a) When the hamster is running in a wheel, the temperature of the air in the calorimeter rises 1.60\(^\circ\)C per hour. How much heat does the running hamster generate in an hour? Assume that all this heat goes into the air in the calorimeter. You can ignore the heat that goes into the walls of the box and into the thermometer, and assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings. (b) Assuming that the hamster converts seed into heat with an efficiency of 10% and that hamster seed has a food energy value of 24 J/g, how many grams of seed must the hamster eat per hour to supply this energy?

Why Do the Seasons Lag? In the northern hemisphere, June 21 (the summer solstice) is both the longest day of the year and the day on which the sun’s rays strike the earth most vertically, hence delivering the greatest amount of heat to the surface. Yet the hottest summer weather usually occurs about a month or so later. Let us see why this is the case. Because of the large specific heat of water, the oceans are slower to warm up than the land (and also slower to cool off in winter). In addition to pursuing pertinent information in the tables included in this book, it is useful to know that approximately two-thirds of the earth’s surface is ocean composed of salt water having a specific heat of 3890 J/kg \(\cdot\) K and the oceans, on the average, are 4000 m deep. Typically, an average of \(1050 W/m^{2}\) of solar energy falls on the earth’s surface, and the oceans absorb essentially all of the light that strikes them. However most of that light is absorbed in the upper 100 m of the Depths below that do not change temperature seasonally. Assume that the sunlight falls on the surface for only 12 hours per day that the ocean retains all the heat it absorbs. What will be the rise in temperature of the upper 100 m of the oceans during the month following the summer solstice? Does this seem to be large enough to be perceptible?
