9. Consider a circular grill whose diameter is 0.30 m. The bottom grill is covered with hot coal bricks at 1 100 K, while the wire mesh on top of the grill is covered with steaks initially at 5 °C. The distance between the coal bricks and the steaks is 0.20 m. Treating both the steaks and the coal bricks as blackbodies, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer from the coal bricks to the steaks. Also, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer to the steaks if the side opening of the grill is covered by aluminum foil, which can be approximated as a reradiating surface.
An enclosure has an inside area of 50 m², and its inside surface is black and is maintained at a constant temperature. A small opening in the enclosure has an area of 0.03 m². The radiant power emitted from this opening is 52 W. What is the temperature of the interior enclosure wall, in K? If the interior surface is maintained at this temperature, but is now polished so that its emissivity is 0.15, what will be the value of the radiant power emitted from the opening, in W? T, = grad = i K W

A particular furnace is shaped like a section of a cone. The top surface of the furnace is uniformly heated by a resistance heater. During operation, the top surface is measured to be 800 K and the power supplied to the resistance heater is 1750 W/m². The sidewall of the furnace is perfectly insulated with & = 0.2. If the emissivity of the top and bottom surfaces are ε = 0.5 and ε = 0.7, respectively, determine the temperatures of the sidewall and the bottom surface of the furnace.
