Question
A mountain climber wears a goose-down jacket 3.5 cm thickwith total surface area 0.95 m2. The temperature at the surfaceof the clothing is 18C and at the skin is 34C. Determinethe rate of heat flow by conduction through the jacket(a) assuming it is dry and the thermal conductivity k is thatof goose down, and (b) assuming the jacket is wet, so k is thatof water and the jacket has matted to 0.50 cm thickness.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 72 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A mountain climber wears a goose-down jacket 3.5 cm thickwith total surface area 0.95 m2. The temperature at the surfaceof the clothing is 18C and at the skin is 34C. Determinethe rate of heat flow by conduction through the jacket(a) assuming it is dry and the thermal conductivity k is thatof goose down, and (b) assuming the jacket is wet, so k is thatof water and the jacket has matted to 0.50 cm thickness.
From the textbook chapter Heat and the First Law
of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
