A person’s head can be approximated as a 25-cm diameter sphere at 35°C with an emissivity of 0.95. Heat is lost from the head to the surrounding air at 25°C by convection with a heat transfer coefficient of 11 W/m2•°C, and by radiation to the surrounding surfaces at 10°C. Disregarding the neck, determine the total rate of heat loss from the head.

(a) 22 W

(b) 27 W

(c) 49 W

(d) 172 W

(e) 249 W
