Chapter 13, Problem 13.3

(choose chapter or problem)

When excessive heat is produced within the body, it must be transferred to the skin and dispersed if the temperature at the body interior is to be maintained at the normal value of 37.0 C. One possible mechanism for transfer is conduction through body fat. Suppose that heat travels through 0.030 m of fat in reaching the skin, which has a total surface area of 1.7 m2 and a temperature of 34.0 C. Find the amount of heat that reaches the skin in half an hour (1800 s).
