Heat transfer from the Human Body
Why?

 It is a common experience to feel “chilly” in winter and “warm” in summer in our homes even when the thermostat setting is kept same.
Problem
Consider a person standing in a room maintained at 220C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors and ceiling of the house are at 10oc in winter and 25oC in summer. (Aperson = 1.4m2, Tperson = 300C, εskin = 0.95)
Qrad,winter = εσAs(Ts4 – T4surr,winter)
= 0.95 x 5.67x10-8 x 1.4 x [(30+273)4-(10+273)4)]
= 152 W
Qrad,summer= εσAs(Ts4 – T4surr,summer)
= 0.95 x 5.67x10-8 x 1.4 x [(30+273)4-(25+273)4)]
= 40.9 W
(Heat loss due to Radiation)winter ≈ 4 X (Heat loss due to Radiation)summer
 Heat Transfer – Skin
 Sensible heat loss
 Convection
 Radiation
 Latent heat loss
 Evaporation
QSkin = Qconvection + Qradiation + Qlatent
Heat Transfer - Skin(Clothing)
 Clothing complicates the Heat transfer from the body and hence experimental data is used.
Effect:
 Serves as insulation and reduces both sensible and latent form of heat loss.
 Sensible heat
Clothing > Environment
Heat Transfer - Lungs
 Sensible heat loss
 Convection
 Latent heat loss
 Evaporation
QLungs = Qconvection + Qlatent
 Total Rate of Heat loss
QBody,total = QSkin + QLungs = (QSensible + Qlatent)skin + (QSensible + QLatent)Lungs
= (QConvection + QRadiation + QLatent) Skin
+ (QConvection + QLatent)Lungs
Total Heat transfer rate: (Under Steady Conditions)
Light Office Work : 100 W
Heavy Physical Work : 1000W
Defense mechanisms-Cold
 Reduction of skin temperature
 Increasing metabolic heat generation rate – shivering
 Fall in deep body temperature
Defense mechanisms-Hot
 Increase of skin temperature
 Release of water from sweat glands – evaporative cooling
 Rise in deep body temperature
