Radiative Heat Transfer Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Heat = [Stefan-BoltZ]*Body Surface Area*Geometric View Factor*(Temperature of Surface 1^4-Temperature of Surface 2^4)
Q = [Stefan-BoltZ]*SA_Body*F*(T₁^4-T₂^4)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 5 Variables

Constants Used

[Stefan-BoltZ] - Stefan-Boltzmann Constant Value Taken As 5.670367E-8

Variables Used

Heat - (Measured in Joule) - Heat is the form of energy that is transferred between systems or objects with different temperatures (flowing from the high-temperature system to the low-temperature system).
Body Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Body Surface Area is the total surface area of the human body.
Geometric View Factor - Geometric View Factor (in radiative heat transfer) is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface. In a complex 'scene' there can be any number of different objects, which can be divided in turn into even more surfaces and surface segments.
Temperature of Surface 1 - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature of Surface 1 is the temperature of the 1st surface.
Temperature of Surface 2 - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature of Surface 2 is the temperature of the 2nd surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Body Surface Area: 8.5 Square Meter --> 8.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Geometric View Factor: 0.1 --> No Conversion Required
Temperature of Surface 1: 503 Kelvin --> 503 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Temperature of Surface 2: 293 Kelvin --> 293 Kelvin No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = [Stefan-BoltZ]*SA_Body*F*(T₁^4-T₂^4) --> [Stefan-BoltZ]*8.5*0.1*(503^4-293^4)

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 2730.11033998808

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2730.11033998808 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2730.11033998808 ≈ 2730.11 Joule <-- Heat

FAQ

What is Radiative Heat Transfer?

Radiative Heat Transfer is the heat transferred between 2 surfaces in the form of radiation and is represented as Q = [Stefan-BoltZ]*SA_Body*F*(T₁^4-T₂^4) or Heat = [Stefan-BoltZ]*Body Surface Area*Geometric View Factor*(Temperature of Surface 1^4-Temperature of Surface 2^4). Body Surface Area is the total surface area of the human body, Geometric View Factor (in radiative heat transfer) is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface. In a complex 'scene' there can be any number of different objects, which can be divided in turn into even more surfaces and surface segments, Temperature of Surface 1 is the temperature of the 1st surface & Temperature of Surface 2 is the temperature of the 2nd surface.

How to calculate Radiative Heat Transfer?

Radiative Heat Transfer is the heat transferred between 2 surfaces in the form of radiation is calculated using Heat = [Stefan-BoltZ]*Body Surface Area*Geometric View Factor*(Temperature of Surface 1^4-Temperature of Surface 2^4). To calculate Radiative Heat Transfer, you need Body Surface Area (SA_Body), Geometric View Factor (F), Temperature of Surface 1 (T₁) & Temperature of Surface 2 (T₂).
