your body controls your core temperature but cannot stop heating itself completely. sweating, while helpful, only expells body-temperature mass, nothing hotter. even thinking produces heat. with NOWHERE to go it amplifies over time until you are deceased. then (assuming you decompose in your bubble) your rotting carcass continues to produce heat. i wonder if you could predict the temperature in the bubble after 2 years.


The point of sweating has nothing to do with how hot sweat is. You aren't trying to expel hot mass, the idea is for the sweat to evaporate and thus significantly cool you through evaporation. So if the system you were in had some way of dehydrating the air, then sweating could keep you cool indefinitely.
