Chapter 14, Problem 37(choose chapter or problem)
A walrus transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of \(150 W\) when immersed in \(-1.00^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) water. The walrus’s internal core temperature is \(37.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) , and it has a surface area of \(2.00 m^{2}\) . What is the average thickness of its blubber, which has the conductivity of fatty tissues without blood?
