A mountaineering clothing company has designed a multi-layer heated jacket having a cross section like that shown below. At the mountain summit, heat is
lost to convection with the surrounding air (h =20 W/m^2 K, Tinfinity=10C). The bodys tissue remains isothermal at Tc=37 C and has a contact resistance of Rc"=10^-4 m ^2 K/W with the liner of the coat. Using a thermal circuit, determine the heat flux [W/m^2] that must be supplied by the heater to ensure that the body loses no heat to the surroundings.
