What are the rates of heat transfer through the skin


When there is almost no blood flow to the skin (vasoconstriction), the skin and the underlying tissue have an insulation equivalent to 3 mm of air, when there is maximum blood flow to the skin (vasodilation), the skin has the insulation equivalent to .2 mm of air (the conductivity of air is .025 W/mC). The surface area of a person is 1.9 m^2 and their core and skin temperatures are 37 degrees celsius and 31 degrees celsius, what are the rates of heat transfer through the skin for almost no blood flow to the skin and for maximum blood flow to the skin.
