Assume that the total surface area of a human body is 1.6 m 2 and that it radiates like an ideal radiator. Calculate the amount of energy radiated per second by the body if the body temperature is 37°C. Stefan constant σ is 6.0 × 10 –8 W/m 2 –K 4 . (31 4 = 923521)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(887 J)
A = 1.6 m 1 , e = 1
= p σ eA T 4 = (6 × 10 –8 ) (1) 1.6 m 2 (310) 4 = 887 J
