a house over a period of 24 hours. Food may enter the system in the form of a weekโs worth of purchased
groceries and exit in the form of 1 dayโs waste, but the quantities are likely unequal, i.e. a dynamic system.
However, when considering the system over the period of 1 year, the amount food entering the system and
exiting the system is roughly equal, representing a steady-state system.

a)
Property: Water
Label: See figure.
Time period: 1 day
Open/Closed: The system is open since material (solids) is moving in and out of the system (the
human body).
Reacting/Non-Reacting: The system is reacting since the solids are converted to water and energy
within the body.
Steady-State/Dynamic: The system is dynamic โ if the person is gaining weight, snapshots of the body
over time do not look similar.

Some of the solids are being converted into energy, water, or other substances. Some of the solids may
be accumulating in the body (i.e. the person is gaining weight).
b) Property: Water
Label: See figure.
Time period: 1 day
Open/Closed: The system is open since water is moving in and out of the body.
Reacting/Non-Reacting: The system is reacting due to the metabolic production of water in the body
Steady-State/Dynamic: It is not sure whether the system can be classified steady-state or dynamic.
There is no accumulation, which suggests a steady-state system, but snapshots over time (but within
one day) do not look similar.
๏น IN ๏ญ๏น OUT ๏ซ๏น GEN ๏ซ๏น CON ๏ฝ ๏น ACC

Yes, all the water is accounted for.
Looking at the water balance on a day-to-day basis, the person can probably be described to be in
steady-state.
2.39
A schematic of the patient is shown below:
Open/Closed: Since there is an inlet (IV drip) of 1200 g/day and outlet (urine collected in catheter) of 1600
g/day, the system is open.
Steady-State/Dynamic: The system is steady-state since the mass of the patientโs body does not change with
time. Estimating the weight loss if there was an accumulation term:
lb ๏ถ ๏ฆ 1kg ๏ถ
๏ฆ
400 g ๏ง 2.2 m ๏ท ๏ง
๏ท ๏ด 7 day ๏ฝ 6.2lbm
kg ๏ธ ๏จ 1000 g ๏ธ
๏จ
A hospital scale should be able to pick up a change in weight of 6.2 lbm.
Reacting/Non-Reacting: Since the problem statement says there are no additional inlets or outlets, the
โmissingโ water is not another stream. Looking at the Accounting Equation,
๏น IN ๏ญ๏น OUT ๏ซ๏น GEN ๏ซ๏น CON ๏ฝ ๏น ACC ๏ฝ
d๏น
dt
the โmissingโ water could come from a generation (or consumption) term. It can be assumed that the
system is reacting.
Talking with the doctor, you discover that โnormalโ metabolism of foodstuffs generates 300-500 g/day of
water (Cooney 1976, standard physiology books). Give this information, you surmise that the patient
generates 400 g/day of water through metabolism.
Since mass flow rates of water are given, the differential accounting equation is most appropriate. It is
reduced appropriately as follows: ๏น IN ๏ญ๏น OUT ๏ซ๏น GEN ๏ฝ 0 .

See Table 2.5 for the list of breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods.
a)
m ๏ฝ ๏ฅ mS
Breakfast: 200 g (oatmeal) + 75g (milk) + 225g (orange) = 500 g
Lunch: 100 g (apple) + 100g (bread) + 90g (bacon) + 40 g (cheese) = 330g
Dinner: 350 g (pork) + 150 g (asparagus) + 150 g (potatoes) + 50g (bread) = 700g

From Problem 2.38, as the overall intake of the average man (2250g) is larger than Joeโs overall
intake (1530g), the solid intake of the average man (1000g) is greater than Joeโs solid intake (459g),
and the water intake of the average man (1200g) is also greater than Joeโs water intake (1071g). The
solids content of the average man is 44.4% of the overall intake compared to Joeโs 30%, and the water
content of the average man is 53.3% of the overall intake compared to Joeโs 70%.
