The woman is doing moderate physical activity (metabolic rate = 280 Cal/(m-h)) where the surround- ing temperature is the same as that of her skin (36) and there is no wind and no possibility of heat loss due to radiation. If she is unable to cool herself by sweating, at what rate will her temperature rise? Assume: her mass is 70 kg, surface area 1.7 m, the usual efficiency of the body is 20% i.e. to say 80% of energy is released as heat. Use that the specific heat of the body, on average is 0.83 Cal/kg C. Show your work here.
