Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer.Consider a room whose air temperature is maintained at 18ºC throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 24°C and 14°C in the summer and winter, respectively. The exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32°C throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. The coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 W/m2·K.
Calculate the following.
a. heat flux due to convection in W / m^2
b. Heat flux due to radiation in the summer in W / m^2
c. Heat flux due to radiation in the winter in W / m^2
