Abstract

In order to study the influence of fat layer and environment temperature on the amount of energy lost. We take the natural convection and thermal radiation into account. At this point, the heat transfer of skin surface natural convection and radiation is equal to the sum of internal heat conduction. First we assume the temperature of skin surface and we use REFORP to call physical parameters under different temperature. Calculating the human body skin surface heat transfer coefficient. Then calculate the difference of two kinds of heat transmission, if the difference is less than 0.1W, we think the temperature is the temperature of skin surface at that environment temperature. Thus we can calculate the heat transfer at that environment temperature.
