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. Consider a person standing in a room maintained at 22°C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and the ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 10°C in winter and 25°C in summer. Determine the rate of radiation heat transfer between this person and the surrounding surfaces if the exposed surface area and the average outer surface temperature of the person are 1.4 m² and 30°C, respectively 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.
