A swimmer with a body temperature of 37 oC is in a
pool at 27 oC. Assume an area of is in contact with the water,
and
assume energy transfer with the air is negligible. The swimmer's
fatty tissue and
skin have a thermal conductivity of 0.2 J/s*m*oC an average
thickness of 2.0 cm.
Calculate the power flowing from the swimmer into to the pool water
due to
conduction.
