1. Humans are able to control their rates of heat production and heat loss to maintain a nearly constant core temperature of Te = 37°C under a wide range of environmental conditions. This process is called thermoregulation. From the perspective of calculating heat transfer between a human body and its surroundings, we focus on a layer of skin: fat, with its outer surface exposed to the environment and its inner surface at a temperature slightly less than the core temperature, T = 35°C = 308 K. Consider a person with a skin/fat layer of thickness L = mm and effective thermal conductivity k = 0.3 "- The person has a surface area A = 1.8 m? and is dressed in a bathing suit. The m· K emissivity of the skin is ɛ = 0.95. a). When the person is in still air at T = 282 K, what is the skin surface temperature and rate of heat loss to the environment? Convection heat transfer to the air is characterized by a free convection coefficient of h 2 m2 -K b). When the person is in water at T = 282,…

Heat Transfer A wall of an oven with a wire in it. Across the wire a voltage of 50 Volts and a current of 2 Amps is applied, and 80% of the electrical power is converted to thermal energy. The oven is a convection oven and has air flowing through it at 240 C and h = 10 W/m^2 K. The wall of the oven is 0.1 m thick and 1.5 m tall and 1.5 m wide and is made of steel (k = 15 W/m K). Find the surface energy balance on the inner wall of the oven and determine the temperature of the ineer wall at steady state. Then do an energy balance on the outer wall, assume that the oven is free standing and has an emissivity, e = 0.6, and the surrounding temperature is 25 C. The air in the surrounding has a convective heat transfer coefficient of 25 W/m^2 K. Just set up the balance equation that would enable to solve, no need to actually solve.
