How many D-cell batteries would it take to power a human for 1 day?

All numbers must be entered as 5000 or 5e3 or 5.0e3 and not with commas as in "5,000" and not as fractions as in "3/4" and not as percentages as in "70%".

Estimate the recomended daily food intake (in Food Calories).

Estimate the daily energy (in joule) a human needs.

Estimate the voltage (in volt) of one D cell battery.

Estimate the charge (in amp-hours) of one D cell battery.

Estimate the energy of one D cell battery (in watt-hour).

Estimate the number of D-cell batteries it takes to power a human for 1 day.

it would take approximately 232 to 258 D cell batteries to power a human for 1 day.

Explanation:

Estimate the recommended daily food intake (in Food Calories).

An average adult man requires between 2000 to 3000 calories per day.

Estimate the daily energy (in joule) a human needs.

As we know 1 food calorie is equal to 4.184 Joules of energy

2000*4.184 to 3000*4.184

8368 to 12552 Joules

But for engineering calculations 1 food calorie is equal to 1000 engineering calories, so

8368*1000 to 12552*1000

8368000 to 12552000 Joules

Estimate the voltage (in volt) of one D cell battery.

The voltage of a D cell battery is around 1.5 Volts

Estimate the charge (in amp-hours) of one D cell battery.

The amp-hours of a D cell battery varies with the manufacturing company, the typical amp-hours are in the range of 6 to 10 amp-hours.

Estimate the energy of one D cell battery (in watt-hour).

Energy in watt-hour is given by

voltage*amp-hour

1.5*6 to 1.5*10

9 to 15 watt-hour

Estimate the number of D-cell batteries it takes to power a human for 1 day.

First let us calculate the energy in a D cell battery,

1 watt-hour is equal to 3600 Joules

9*3600 to 15*3600

32400 to 54000 Joules

The number of D cell batteries required is found by dividing the energy need of a human by the energy stored in a D cell battery.

12552000/54000 to 8368000/32400

232 to 258 batteries

Therefore, it would take approximately 232 to 258 D cell batteries to power a human for 1 day.
