Question
It is a common experience to feel 'chilly’ in winter and 'warm' in summer in our homes
even when the thermostat setting is kept the same. This is due to the so-called 'radiation
effect' resulting from radiation heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding
surfaces of the walls and the ceiling.
(a) Briefly discuss another ONE heat transfer mechanism between the human body
and the environment in maintaining healthy human body temperature at 37°c
while the temperature and the humidity of the environment change with time.
(b) Explain how a person can keep cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
(c) Consider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.7 m², emissivity is 0.5, and
surface temperature is 32°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from that person by
radiation in a large room having walls at a temperature of two situations of 280
K and 300 K. Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant as 5.67 x 10-8 W/m²-K*.
(d) Briefly discuss the radiation heat transfer with respect to temperature change
hased from your answer in Question 3(c).
