Radiation from the head is a major source of heat loss from the human body. Model a head as a 21-cm-diameter, 20-cm-tall cylinde

r with a flat top.
If the body's surface temperature is 36?C , what is the net rate of heat loss on a chilly 9?C day? All skin, regardless of color, is effectively black in the infrared where the radiation occurs, so use an emissivity of 0.95.

I have worked it through three times with other written solutions however i cannot arrive at the correct answer. A final answer as well as a solution would be appreciated! Thanks!

We have the following assumptions:
The temperature of the surroundings remains constant.
The entire surface area of head emits radiation.

From the problem, we have the given values:
emissivity = 0.95
T2 = 36 degrees C
T1 = 9 degrees C

Solving for the area:
A = πD² + πDh = π(21)² + π(21)(20) = 2709.91 cm² = 0.2710 m²

Using the heat transfer equation for radiation:
q = εAσ(T₂⁴ - T₁⁴)
q = 0.95 (0.2710)(5.67 x 10<span>-8)[(36+273)</span>⁴-(9+273)⁴]
q = 3.9 x 10^9 W

The myelin sheath on a neuron allows nerve impulses to be faster because
blondinia [14]
Axons with large diameters conduct impulse faster than those with small diameters. Also Myelinated axons conduct impulse faster than unmyelinated axons. Axons with the largest diameter are all myelinated, therefore they are capable of salatory conduction (Impulses jump from one myelinated node to another). The smallest diameter axons are unmyelinated, so their conduction is continuous.
I hope this helps. :) :)

Rutherford’s theory was identified by
Oksanka [162]
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

Ocean waves have energy what happens to the energy in the wave as it crashes to shore​
agasfer [191]

When the wave breaks, air bubbles are mixed into the water, turning the waves bright white in the surf zone. Wave energy that passes through water is transferred to the shoreline in the surf zone
