Consider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.5 m2, emissivity is 0.5, and surface temperature is 28°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from that person by radiation in a large room having walls at a temperature of two situations of 280 K and 300 K. Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant as 5.67 x 108 W/m²·K*.

Question
It is a common experience to feel 'chilly' in winter and 'warm' in summer in our homes
even when the thermostat setting is kept the same. This is due to the so-called 'radiation
effect' resulting from radiation heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding
surfaces of the walls and the ceiling.
