The measurements reveal that the temperature of the aluminum rod (Rod 1) at $x_{1}=40 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the base is the same as that of the rod of unknown thermal conductivity (Rod 2) at $x_{2}=20 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the base.

The human body is adaptable to extreme climatic conditions and keeps the body core and skin temperatures within the comfort zone by regulating the metabolic heat generation rate. For example, in extreme cold conditions, the human body will maintain the body temperature by increasing metabolic heat generation, while in very hot conditions, the body will sweat and release heat. To understand this effect of ambient conditions on the human body, repeat Example 3-14 in the text and consider a case where climatic conditions change from $-20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. For this change in ambient air temperature, calculate the metabolic heat generation rate required with skin/fat thicknesses of $0.0075,0.005$, and $0.0025 \mathrm{~m}$ to maintain the skin temperature at $34^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.

Since your company has a vast quantity of the HS 5030 heat sinks in inventory, replacing the heat sinks with more effective ones is too costly and is not a viable solution.

First, make sure that the door of the refrigerator is not opened for at least a few hours to make sure that steady operating conditions are established. Start the timer when the refrigerator stops running, and measure the time $\Delta t_{1}$ it stays off before it kicks in. Then measure the time $\Delta t_{2}$ it stays on. Noting that the heat removed during $\Delta t_{2}$ is equal to the heat gain of the refrigerator during $\Delta t_{1}+\Delta t_{2}$ and using the power consumed by the refrigerator when it is running, determine the average rate of heat gain for your refrigerator, in watts. Take the COP (coefficient of performance) of your refrigerator to be $1.3$ if it is not available.
Now, clean the condenser coils of the refrigerator and remove any obstacles in the way of airflow through the coils. Then determine the improvement in the COP of the refrigerator.
