4. Estimate the rate at which heat can be conducted from the interior of the body to the surface. Assume the typical thickness of the tissue is 4 cm, that the skin surface is 34° C, that the interior is 37° C, and that the skin area is 1.5 m². Compare this to the measured value of about 230 W that must be dissipated by a person doing light work. This shows the necessity of convective cooling by the blood.
