Question

The net rate of radiant heat flow from and object is given by (deltaQ/deltaT) = e(sigma)A(T1^4-T2^4)

A: area of object

T1: temperature of object

e: emmisivity (value depends on surface)

T2: temperature of it's surroundings

sigma: 5.67x10^-8

A person has a skin temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and is in a room when the walls have a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. If the emmisivity for the skin is 0.70 (e=0.70) and if the body surface area is 1.5m^2, then calculate the(deltaQ/deltaT) net, the net radiative heat loss in Watts.

Explanation / Answer

0.7*5.67*10^-8*1.5*((273+33)^4-(273+29)^4)=26.762W
