Answer: Penguin huddling. To withstand the harsh weather
Chapter , Problem 64(choose chapter or problem)
Penguin huddling. To withstand the harsh weather of the Antarctic, emperor penguins huddle in groups (Fig. 18-49). Assume that a penguin is a circular cylinder with a top surface area a = 0.34 m2 and height h = 1.1 m. Let Pr be the rate at which an individual penguin radiates energy to the environment (through the top and the sides); thus NPris the rate at whichN identical, well-separated penguins radiate. If the penguins huddle closely to form a huddled cylinder with top surface area Na and height h, the cylinder radiates at the rate Ph' If N = 1000, (a) what is the value of the fraction PhlNPr and (b) by what percentage does huddling reduce the total radiation loss?
