As a rough approximation, the human body may be considered to be a cylinder of length L=2.0m and circumference C=0.8m. (To simplify things, ignore the circular top and bottom of the cylinder, and just consider the cylindrical sides.) If the emissivity of skin is taken to be e=0.6, and the surface temperature is taken to be T=30∘C, how much thermal power P does the human body radiate?
A brass rod of length 50 cm and diameter 3.0 mm is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at 250 °C, if the original lengths are at 40.0 °C? Is there a ‘thermal stress’ developed at the junction ? The ends of the rod are free to expand (Co-efficient of linear expansion of brass = 2.0×10-5 K-1 steel =1.2×10-5 K-1
