Problem : pts
The wind chill, which is experienced on a cold, windy day, is related to increased heat transfer from exposed human skin to the surrounding atmosphere.
Consider a layer of fatty tissue that is mm thick and whose interior surface is maintained at a temperature of On a calm day the convection heat transfer
coefficient at the outer surface is but with winds it reaches In both cases the ambient air temperature is
a What is the ratio of the rate of heat loss per unit area from the skin for the calm day to that for the windy day?
b What will be the skin outer surface temperature for the calm day? For the windy day?
c What temperature would the air have to assume on the calm day to produce the same heat rate occurring with the air temperature at on the windy day?
please use for human skin
