Suppose a walrus transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of 125 W when immersed in -1.25°C water. The walrus’s internal core temperature is 37.0°C, and it has a surface area of 1.85 m2. Chart attached. What is the average thickness of its blubber, in centimeters, which has the conductivity of fatty tissue?

A firewalker runs across a bed of hot coals without sustaining burns. Calculate the heat transferred by conduction into the sole of one foot of a firewalker given that the bottom of the foot is a 3.00-mm-thick callus with a conductivity at the low end of the range for wood and its density is 300 kg/m3. The area of contact is 25.0 cm2 the temperature of the coals is 700 , and the time in contact is 1.00 s. Ignore the evaporative cooling of sweat.

A large body of lava from a volcano has stopped flowing and is slowly cooling. The interior of the lava is at 1200C, its surface is at 450C, and the surroundings are at 27.0C. (a) Calculate the rate at which energy is transferred by radiation from 1.00m2 of surface lava into the surroundings, assuming the emissivity is 1.00. (b) Suppose heat conduction to the surface occurs at the same rate. What is the thickness of the lava between the 450C surface and the 1200C interior, assuming that the lava’s conductivity is the same as that of brick?
If the refrigerator door is left what happens to the temperature of the kitchen?
A physicist makes a cup of instant coffee and notices that, as the coffee cools, its level drops 3.00 mm in the glass cup. Show that this decrease cannot be due to thermal contraction by calculating the decrease in level if the 350 cm3 of coffee is in a 7.00-cm-diameter cup and decreases in temperature from 95.0 to 45.0 . (Most of the drop in level is actually due to escaping bubbles of air.)
