The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. “Fat” and “skin” have conductivities of approximately 0.200 W /m 0K and 0.0200 W /m 0K, respectively, while other “tissues” inside the body have conductivities of approximately 0.500 W /m 0 Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin surface lies a “skin” layer of 1.00mm, a “fat” layer of 0.500 cm., and 3.20 cm. layer of other “tissues”. A)Find the R-factor for each of these three layers, and the R-factor for all layers taken together

  1. The thermal conductivities of human tissues vary greatly. “Fat” and “skin” have conductivities of approximately 0.200 W /m 0K and 0.0200 W /m 0K, respectively, while other “tissues” inside the body have conductivities of approximately 0.500 W /m 0

Assume that between the core region of the body and the skin surface lies a “skin” layer of 1.00mm, a “fat” layer of 0.500 cm., and 3.20 cm. layer of other “tissues”.

A)Find the R-factor for each of these three layers, and the R-factor for all layers taken together
