3. In Heat Transfer unit operations one very important Law used is the Stefan-Boltzmann which applies only to blackbodies and theoretical surfaces that absorb all incident heat radiation. This states that the total radiant heat power emitted from a surface is proportional to the fourth power of its absolute temperature. This law can be employed to estimate the rate of radiation energy H from a surface by the equation H = AeoT4 where H is in Watts, A = surface area (m2), e = the surface (dimensionless), o = a universal constant called the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (= 5.67 x 10 - 8 Wm -2K-4), and T = absolute temperature, K.

3. Dimensional analysis can provide insight into Stefan-Boltzmann's law for the radiation from a black body. According to this law the intensity of radiation, in units of J s-' m-², from a body at temperature Tis 1 = GT*, where e is Stefan-Boltzmann's constant. Because black-body radiation can be considered to be a gas of photons, i.e. quantum particles which move with velocity e with typical energies of the order of kT, the intensity I is a function of h, c and kT. Use dimensional analysis to confirm that Iis proportional to 7 and find the dependence of a on h and c.
