assume that a man can be represented by a cylinder 350mm in diameter and 1.65 m in height with the surface temperature of 28 degrees c calculate the heat loss from the human body whicle standing in the wind at a velocity of 30 km/hr. and a temperature of 12 degrees c. take thermophysical properties of air at mean film temp
To calculate the heat loss from a human body modeled as a cylinder under forced convection, we follow these steps:
Determine the mean film temperature:
Thermophysical properties of air at 20°C:
Thermal conductivity,
Kinematic viscosity,
Prandtl number,
Convert wind speed to m/s:
Calculate Reynolds number (Re):
Calculate Nusselt number using Churchill-Bernstein correlation:
Substituting values:
Calculate convective heat transfer coefficient (h):
Calculate surface area (A) of the cylinder:
Calculate heat loss (Q):
Final Answer
The heat loss from the human body is \boxed{726} watts.
