How much energy is passed from one trophic level to the next

1 answer:

6 0

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

Chapter 16, Problem 63. A person is standing in a room at 18 ◦C. The exposed surface area and skin temperature of the person are

Juliette [100K]

Answer: $Q=248.011 W$

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of Room $T_{\infty }=18^{\circ}\approx 291 K$

Area of Person $A=1.7 m^2$

Temperature of skin $T=32^{\circ}\approx 305 K$

Heat transfer coefficient $h=5 W/m^2.k$

Emissivity of the skin and clothes $\epsilon =0.9$

$\Delta T=32-18=14^{\circ}$

Total rate of heat transfer=heat Transfer due to Radiation +heat transfer through convection

Heat transfer due radiation $Q_1=\epsilon \sigma A(T^4-T_{\infty }^4 )$

where $\sigma =stefan-boltzman\ constant$

$Q_1=0.9\times 5.687\times 10^{-8}\times 1.7\times (305^4-291^4)$

$Q_1=129.01 W$

Heat Transfer due to convection is given by

$Q_2=hA(\Delta T)$

$Q_2=5\times 1.7\times 14=119 W$

$Q=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q=129.01+119=248.011 W$

nydimaria [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>
