Еxample:- Let us represent the body's surface tissue as layer of thickness X1=5 cm which has a thermal conductivity K= 0.59 J/m.s. °C . This is surrounded by a layer of tissues fat of thickness X,-2 cm with K,-0.21 J/m.s. °C .The body's interior is at temperature T-37°C and the skin temperature is T,=33.5°C.What is the heat loss per unit area?
