A thin, disk-shaped silicon wafer of diameter D=20 cm on a production line must be maintained at a temperature of 100 deg C. The wafer loses heat to the room by convection and radiation from its upper surface, while heat is supplied at a constant flux from below. The surrounding air is at 20 deg C, while all surrounding surfaces (which can be treated as blackbodies) can be approximated to be isothermal at a temperature of 15 deg C. The wafer-to-air heat transfer coefficient is 30 W/m2-K and the emissivity of the wafer’s surface (which can be approximated to be gray) is 0.85. How much heat (in W) must be supplied to the wafer?
A typical car's exterior consists of a thin layer of silica (SiO2) over an opaque painted metal panel.
Silica is transparent in the visible wavelengths but offers high reflectance in the near- to mid-
infrared wavelengths. The plot on the next page depicts the diffuse spectral reflectivity (pa) of the
car's surface:

If the car's exterior temperature is T₁ = 77°C, determine both the total absorptivity (a) and the total
emissivity (a) of the silica-covered panel. Assume that the Sun's temperature is Tsun = 5800 K.
A gray surface has an emissivity at a temperature of 550 K source. If the surface is opaque,
(a) Calculate its reflectivity for black body radiation coming from a 550 K source.
(b) A small 25 mm square hole is made in the thin-walled door of a furnace whose inside walls are at 920 K. if the emissivity of the walls is 0.72, calculate the rate at which radiant energy escapes from the furnace through the hole to the room.
