One way of increasing heat transfer from the head on a hot summer day is to wet it. This is especially effective in windy weather, as you may have noticed. Approximating the head as a 30-cm-diameter sphere at 30°C with an emissivity of 0.95, determine the total rate of heat loss from the head at ambient air conditions of 1 atm, 25°C, 30 percent relative humidity, and 25 km/h winds if the head is (a) dry and (b) wet. Take the surrounding temperature to be 25°C. Answers: (a) 40.5 W, (b) 385 W
