When a walrus is immersed in -1.50 C water, its body transfers energy by conduction through its blubber at the rate of 150 W. The walrus's internal core temperature is 37.0 C, it has a surface area of 2.00 m2 and the thickness of its blubber is 10.5 cm. What is the thermal conductivity constant of the walrus's blubber?
