A person with a surface area of 1.20 m2, and a skin temperature of 27 oC, is in a room that is at a temperature of 18.8 °C. The emissivity of the skin is 0.895. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 x 10-8 W/(m2·K4).(a) How much power (power is the energy per second) is radiated by the person? Keep 2 decimal places.b. How much power is absorbed by the person from the surroundings? Keep 2 decimal places.c. What is his NET Power loss? Report as a Positive value. Keep 2 decimal places.

Answer:

494.24 W

442.41 W

51.83 W

Explanation:

A = Area of person = 1.2 m²

[tex]T_1[/tex] = Person's temperature = 27+273.15 = 300.15 K

[tex]T_2[/tex] = Room temperature = 18.8+273.15 = 291.95 K

[tex]\epsilon[/tex] = Emissivity of skin = 0.895

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = [tex]5.67\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2K^4[/tex]

Radiated power of the person

[tex]P_1=\sigma\epsilon AT_1^4\\\Rightarrow P_1=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 0.895\times 1.2\times 300.15^4\\\Rightarrow P_1=494.24\ W[/tex]

Power radiated by the person is 494.24 W

Radiated power absorbed by the person

[tex]P_2=\sigma\epsilon AT_2^4\\\Rightarrow P_2=5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 0.895\times 1.2\times 291.95^4\\\Rightarrow P_2=442.41\ W[/tex]

Radiated power absorbed by the person is 442.41 W

Net power would be

[tex]\Delta P=P_1-P_2\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=494.24-442.41\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=51.83\ W[/tex]

The net power loss is 51.83 W

Answer:

(a) 493.256 watt  

(b) 441.5 Watt

(c) 51.76 Watt

Explanation:

Area, A = 1.20 m^2

T = 27°C = 300 K

To = 18.8°C = 291.8 K

e = 0.895

Stefan's constant, σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m^2K^4

(a) Power emitted by the person

P1 = A e σ T^4

P1 = 1.2 x 0.895 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x (300)^4

P1 = 493.256 watt

(b) Pwer absorbed by the person, P2

P2 =  A e σ To^4

P2 = 1.2 x 0.895 x 5.67 x 10^-8 x (291.8)^4

P2 = 441.5 watt

(c) Net power loss, P = P1 - P2

P = 493.256 - 441.5 = 51.76 Watt
