Abstract
The effective emissivity of the skin was measured in 2 ways, by reflection and by the Stefan-Boltzman law. The values lay between 98% and 99% with an avg. of 98.9% [plus or minus]1%. This value agreed with the value obtained by Buttner when certain corrections were made, and with the observations of other authors.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
