Question
An object is heated to 90°C and is kept in a room where the ambient temperature is around 25°C. If the object has an emissivity of 0.4 and an area of 2.0 m², what will be the rate of heat transfer by radiation alone?

Introduction:
  • Heat transfer can take place without any medium. This type of heat transfer is known as heat radiation. In radiative heat transfer, the heat energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation.

 

  • The rate of heat transfer through radiation is given by Stefan-Boltzmann's law of radiation. It is given by,

Qt=σeAT4

Here σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, e is the emissivity which defines how well an object radiates energy, A is the area, and T is the absolute temperature in kelvin.
