This paper presents a simplified methodology, which can be used for quick and accurate estimation of the skin temperature as well as heat loss without a detailed understanding of heat and mass transfer and fluid flow concepts. Multiple linear regression (MLR) is first used to predict the skin temperature which can subsequently be used to compute various forms of heat losses from the body of the cow. It is found that the skin temperature predicted by the correlation obtained from MLR is accurate except for a few combinations of environmental and skin-wetness conditions where in the maximum error is found to be 8·9%. However, skin temperature of a cow can be more accurately calculated using a set of simple linear relationships proposed in this paper. In addition to this, simple correlations are also presented for the calculation of convective heat and mass transfer coefficients, boundary layer thickness, and latent heat of vapourisation. The use of the proposed correlations for calculating skin temperature is illustrated through an example. It is found that the skin temperatures, and total heat losses under different environmental and skin-wetness conditions predicted by the proposed methodology agree very closely with those available in the literature. 2014-04-18T12:53:06Z 2014-04-18T12:53:06Z 2006 Article Biosystems Engineering, vol. 93(3), 2006, pages 313-323 1537-5110 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/33813 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1537511005002606 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystemseng.2005.11.011 en Elsevier Ltd.
