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

A __________ is a tubular organ that transports urine from a kidney to the urinary bladder.
alexandr1967 [171]
The answer to this question would be: ureter

Ureter is the long tubular duct made of epithelial cell that connects the kidney and the bladder. Urine will pass through the ureter to go into the bladder. Urine flow might be obstructed if there was a stoned formed in the kidney. In this case, the patient might feel colic pain to the flank. Urethra will be the tubular organ that goes from the bladder to penis/vagina.
