Question
Two parallel disks of diameter D = 0.6 m separated
by L = 0.4 m are located directly on top of each other. Both
disks are black and are maintained at a temperature of 450 K.
The back sides of the disks are insulated, and the environment
that the disks are in can be considered to be a blackbody
at 300 K. Determine the net rate of
from the disks to the environment.

- A dielectric material has an absorption coefficient of 0.25 cm−1. A plate of thickness 3 cm is made from this material, and light with intensity 20 W m−2 is incident on the front. Ignoring reflection losses, calculate the intensity transmitted through the plate.Give your answer as a decimal to 2 d.p.arrow_forward(e) The Sun has a surface temperature of 5770 K, a radius of 6.96 × 10° km, an average distance from Earth of 1.496 x ix 10* km, and radiates e/m radiation into space isotropically. Earth is a sphere with a radius of 6378 km, and on average absorbs 30 percent of the sunlight that shines on it, with the rest reflected back into space. Both the Sun and Earth are opaque to e/m radiation of all wavelengths, so intensity I = oT“, where o is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is Kelvin temperature. Calculate the temperature (in Kelvins) of Earth.arrow_forwardAssume the intensity of solar radiation incident on the cloud tops of the Earth is 1 677 W/m². (a) Taking the average Earth-Sun separation to be 1.496 x 10¹1 m, calculate the total power radiated by the Sun. 4.905E26 x Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error.

- What is the net heat current in radiation of an Ice cube at 0 °C if the surrounding air is at 20°C? The ice cube has sides of length 2.50 cm, the emissivity of ice is 0.96 and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is o = 5.67 x 10-8 Watts/m2Kª. Is the heat flow out or into the ice cube, explain?arrow_forwardYou have a 5.3 inch diameter sphere heated to 335.0°F, which is inside of a large room with a surrounding temperature of Tsurr = 71.0°F. Treating the sphere as a blackbody, calculate the net heat transfer rate due to radiation between the sphere and its surrounds, in units of BTU/hr. The Stephan-Boltzmann Constant in English units is: σ = 1.714*10-9 BTU/(hr-ft2-°R4).arrow_forward2. Suppose the downward irradiance at the top of a layer of an absorbing gas is 600 Wm2, the upward reflected radiation is 150 Wm-2, and the radiation emerging at the bottom of the layer is 200 Wm-² (a) What is the reflectance of the layer?
