A thin tungsten filament with a length of 1.47 m radiates 60.2 W of power in the form of electromagnetic waves. A perfectly absorbing surface, in the form of a hollow cylinder with a radius of 5.09 cm and a length of 1.47, is placed concentrically with the filament. Calculate the radiation pressure acting on the cylinder. (Assume that the radiation is emitted in the radial direction, and neglect end effects.)

A small sphere (emissivity = 0.745, radius = r1) is located at the center of a spherical asbestos shell (thickness = 1.72 cm, outer radius = r2; thermal conductivity of asbestos is 0.090 J/(s m Co)). The thickness of the shell is small compared to the inner and outer radii of the shell. The temperature of the small sphere is 727 °C, while the temperature of the inner surface of the shell is 406 °C, both temperatures remaining constant. Assuming that r2/r1 = 6.54 and ignoring any air inside the shell, find the temperature in degrees Celsius of the outer surface of the shell.
The reflectivity of aluminum coated with lead sulfate is 0.35 for radiation at wavelengths less than 3 mm and 0.95 for radiation greater than 3 mm. Determine the average reflectivity of this surface for solar radiation (T < 5800 K) and radiation coming from surfaces at room temperature (T < 300 K). Also, determine the emissivity and absorptivity of this surface at both temperatures. Do you think this material is suitable for use in solar collectors?
