A surface gains 500 W/m2 heat at an equilibrium temperature of 30 °C and it is subjected to a simultaneous heat loss to environment by convection and to surroundings by radiation. The convection conditions are 10 °C and 20 W/m2 K. If the surface assumed to be black what should be the surrounding temperature to sustain this physical condition?
Earth absorbs solar energy and radiates infrared energy. The intensity of the solar radiation incident on earth is J = 1350 Wm-2, also known as the solar constant. Assume earth’s surface (ground) temperature to be uniform at Ts, and that the ground and atmosphere are black (emissivity = 1) for infrared radiation. The radius of the earth is 6.378 x 106 m. The diagram shows the ground at the surface temperature Ts and the atmosphere, represented as a thin black layer, at temperature Ta . Suppose the atmosphere absorbs 100% of the infrared radiation emitted by the ground. Assume that the ground absorbs 47.5% of the incident solar energy, and that the atmosphere absorbs 17.5% of the incident solar energy (for a total of 65% absorbed by the planet). Calculate the "steady state” numerical values of the earth’s ground temperature Ts and the atmospheric temperature Ta taking into account the “greenhouse effect” of atmospheric infrared absorption and emission described above.
You have a telescope that consists of two converging lenses which are placed a distance apart which is approximately equal to the sum of their focal lengths. Focal length 1 is appriximatly 5.5cm and focal length 2 is approximatly 25cm. The lens closest to the onject should have a resonably long focal length and the eyepiece lens should have a relatively short focal length to get good magnification. a. draw a scale ray diagram for a telescope using one long and one short focal length lens. b. Estimate how much larger your distance object appears through your telescope and then calculate the angular magnification.
Whereas electron microscopes make use of thewave properties of electrons, ion microscopes make use of the wave propertiesof atomic ions, such as helium ions 1He+2, to image materials. A heliumion has a mass 7300 times that of an electron. In a typical helium-ionmicroscope, helium ions are accelerated by a high voltage of 10–50 kVand focused into a beam onto the sample to be imaged. At these energies,the ions don’t travel very far into the sample, so this type of microscopeis used primarily for the surface imaging of biological structures. The useof helium ions with much greater energies (in the MeV range) has beenproposed as a way to image the entire thickness of a sample, becausethese faster helium ions can pass all the way through biological samplessuch as cells. In this type of ion microscope, the energy lost as the ionbeam passes through different parts of a cell can be measured and relatedto the distribution of material in the cell, with thicker parts of the cellcausing greater…
You are shocked to learn that the Sun (which has a mass of 1M⊙) and Betelgeuse (with a mass of 11M⊙) have both become black holes overnight. Which black hole would have a larger event horizon and why? What do you experience if you fly your spaceship towards the Betelgeuse black hole? Describe any effects on you or the spaceship What would an observer on the other side of the galaxy see when looking at the black holes against the background of the rest of the stars in the Milky Way?
a. What does it mean when we say that a surface 'sees itself' in the context of radiative heat transfer? b. If heat transfer by conduction through a medium occurs under steady- state, will the temperature at a particular location vary with time? Will the temperature vary with location in the medium?
4. 51 Pegasi b was the first extra-solar planet found around a main sequence starother than our Sun. The star, 51 Pegasi, is very much like the Sun, and it has a luminosityL = 1.30L⊙. 51 Pegasi b has an average orbital radius of 0.0527 AU and it is tidally lockedto 51 Pegasi. Given that it thought to have a Bond albedo of 0.1, what is its “no greenhouse”temperature? Note- it is tidally locked, but you should assume the temperature of the planetis uniform due to winds transferring heat.
Attached is the question and the formula to solve it. I attached the formula directly from the book, the Blackbody radiation Pressure formula that is. Thank you :)
A long, horizontal, cylindrical steel reactor, 1 m in diameter, has a surface temperature of 300ºC. The emissivity of the steel is 0.6, and the heat transfer coefficient for natural convection is 5 W m−2 K−1 . Heat is lost by convection to the air at 15ºC, and also by radiation to the surroundings, which can be considered to be a black body at 15ºC. a) Calculate the total heat loss per metre length of the reactor, and the proportions lost by convection and radiation b) The reactor is then insulated with a thin layer of insulation material to reduce the total heat loss to one-tenth of its original value. This causes the surface temperature of the steel to rise to 400ºC. The thermal conductivity of the insulation is 0.01 W m−1 K−1 , and its surface emissivity is 0.2. Show that the resulting surface temperature of the insulation is about 89ºC, and calculate the thickness of insulation required, stating any assumptions made. Specifically need help with part b
A sphere made of an unknown metal of diameter 90cm at temp T1 kelvin radiates a certain amount of energy per second. When its temp is increased to T2 kelvin, the sphere radiates 7.4 times the energy per second. What is the ratio T1/T2
The tungsten filament of an incandescent light bulb has a temperature of approximately 3000 K. The emissivity of tungsten is approximately 1/3, and you may assume that it is independent of wavelength. To increase the efficiency of an incandescent bulb, would you want to raise or lower the temperature? (Some incandescent bulbs do attain slightly higher efficiency by using a different temperature.)
A small 100 cd spring is located in the center of a spherical mirror with a diameter of 10 cm and a focal length of 50 cm. Assuming that the total reflectance is about 80%, obtain the average brightness of the parallel beam reflected from the mirror.
