Problem 24P A 30-g ice cube at its melting point is dropped into an insulated container of liquid nitrogen. How much nitrogen evaporates if it is at its boiling point of 77 K and has a latent heat of vaporization of 200kJ/kg? Assume for simplicity that the specific heat of ice is a constant and is equal to its value near its melting point.

Question
Problem 36P
Heat conduction to skin. Suppose 200 W of heat flows by conduction from the blood capillaries beneath the skin to the body’s surface area of 1.5 m2. If the temperature difference is 0.50 C°, estimate the average distance of capillaries below the skin surface.
Solution
The first step in solving 14 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 36PHeat conduction to skin. Suppose 200 W of heat flows by conduction from the blood capillaries beneath the skin to the body’s surface area of 1.5 m2. If the temperature difference is 0.50 C°, estimate the average distance of capillaries below the skin surface.
From the textbook chapter Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
