It is often argued that the head is the most important part of the body to cover when out in cold weather. Estimate the total energy loss by radiation if a person’s head is uncovered for 19.4 min on a very cold, −15.0°C day, assuming he is bald, his skin temperature is 35.0°C, and that skin has an emissivity (in the infrared) of 97.0%. Assume that the man’s head is spherical, with a radius of 10.0 cm. The Stefan–Boltzmann constant is 5.670 × 10−8 W/ (m2·K4).
