Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 20-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinder with a flat top.If the body's surface temperature is 36 ∘Cwhat is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 7 ∘Cday in W? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.92.
