Redo problem 57(a) €“ (d) for an air temperature of -10°C.


Data from problem 57

The wind chill factor represents the equivalent air temperature at a standard wind speed that would produce the same heat loss as the given temperature and wind speed. One formula for computing the equivalent temperature is

0 s v< 1.79 (10.45 + 10 Vv – v)(33 – t) 33 1.79 < v s 20 22.04 33 – 1.5958(33 – t) v > 20


where Ï… represents the wind speed (in meters per second) and t represents the air temperature (°C). Compute the wind chill for the following:

(a) An air temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 1 meter per second (m/sec)

(b) An air temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 5 m/sec

(c) An air temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 15 m/sec

(d) An air temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 25 m/sec

0 s v < 1.79 (10.45 + 10 Vv v)(33 t) 33 1.79 < v s 20 22.04 33 1.5958(33 t) v > 20
