Suppose you walk into a sauna that has an ambient temperature of 55 degrees celsius (a) Calculate the rate of heat transfer to you by radiation in watts, given your skin temperature is 39 degrees celsius the emissivity of skin is 0.98 , and the surface area of your body is 1.8000m^2

(b) If all other forms of heat transfer are balanced (the net heat transfer is zero), how much will your body temperature increase if your mass is 82 kg, and sit inside the sauna for 1 hour?
