A reminder about the laws of radiation and order-of-magnitude skills. Our bodies radiate energy due to their heat. The temperature of a human body is something like 98◦ F, which is about Tbody≈ 310 K. Our body also gains energy from the thermal emission of the material around us. (a) Estimate the total energy emitted by a typical person due to thermal radiation in one day. (b) Besides radiating energy, our bodies also absorb energy from the atmosphere that surrounds us. This is roughly blackbody absorption that occurs over the surface area of our body, flowing back inward. What is the amount of energy that a typical person absorbs from the radiation of the atmosphere in one day? (Take some typical temperature to describe the atmosphere.) Notice that the net outflow of energy (net energy out = energy out - energy in) is far less than our emission from part (a) above. (c) Compare the amount of energy your body absorbs from thermal radiation in one day (the answer to part (b) above) to the amount of energy you take in from food in one day.

Calculate the rate of energy loss due to thermal radiation from an unclothed person if the average skin temperature is 37 °C and the room temperature is 20 °C. You may sume a total surface area of 1.5 m and a skin emissivity value of 0.9. How much energy (from food) must be consumed per day to compensate for this loss? If the person is surrounded by a layer of insulation of thickness 1.0 cm with a thermal conductivity of...

(33%) Problem 3: Warm blooded animals are homeothermic that is, they maintain an approximately constant body temperature. (For humans it's about 37°C.) When they are in an environment that is below their optimum temperature, they use energy derived from chemical reactions within their bodies to warm them up. One of the ways that animals lose energy to their environment is through radiation. Every object emits electromagnetic radiation that depends on its temperature. For very hot objects like the sun, that...
