Question:

Suppose you go outside in your fiber-filled jacket on a windless but very cold day. The thickness of the jacket is 2.5 cm, and it covers 1.1 m2 of your body. The purpose of fiber- or down-filled jackets is to trap a layer of air, and it's really the air layer that provides the insulation. If your skin temperature is 34°C while the air temperature is -20°C, at what rate is heat being conducted through the jacket and away from your body?
