Radiation heat transfer coefficient of the human body is one of the most important factors in the field of human skin health. In this paper, the radiation coefficient of the body is calculated by considering external heat radiation of body with the infinite surrounding. At first a human body is designed, and then analysis is done on it. Two segments are assumed for human body (standing and supine). In these segments hands and feet are supposed to be totally open and stretched. In standing segment, soles and in supine segment, the entire back of the body are in contact with the ground and so don’t have heat transfer. The calculation of the results is done by weighted area average method. Radiation coefficient and radiation heat flux are calculated in various emissivity. Because of existence of air around the body in reality, the convection heat transfer is also assumed for human body. Finally two formulas are reported for these segments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
