Using the information estimate the ambient air temperature that could cause frostbite on a calm day on the ski slopes.

GIVEN
• Skier’s skin of thickness (L) = 3 mm = 0.003 m exposed to cold air
• Inner surface temperature of skin (Tsi) = 35°C
• Thermal conductivity of skin (k) = 0.35 W/(m K)
• Convective heat transfer coefficient in still air ( ch ) = 20 W/(m2 K)
• Frostbite occurs at an outer skin surface temperature (Tso) = 10°C FIND
• The ambient air temperature (T?) that could cause frostbite ASSUMPTIONS
• Steady state conditions prevail
• One dimensional conduction occurs through the skin
• Radiative loss (or gain from sunshine) is negligible
