An average person generates heat at a rate of 240 btuh


Question: An average person generates heat at a rate of 240 Btu/h while resting in a room at 70°F. Assuming one quarter of this heat is lost from the head and taking the emissivity of the skin to be 0.9, determine the average surface temperature of the head when it is not covered. The head can be approximated as a 12-in-diameter sphere, and the interior surfaces of the room can be assumed to be at the room temperature.
