A furnace that has a glass window of 50 cm X 50 cm can be considered as a blackbody at 1200 K. If the transmissivity of the glass is 0.7 for radiation at wavelength less than 3 µm and zero for radiation at wavelength greater than 3 pum, determine the fraction and the rate of radiation coming from the furnace and transmitted through the window.

Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 10
a) A furnace that has a glass window of 50 cm X 50 cm can be considered as a blackbody at 1200 K.
If the transmissivity of the glass is 0.7 for radiation at wavelength less than 3 µm and zero for
radiation at wavelength greater than 3 µum, determine the fraction and the rate of radiation coming
from the furnace and transmitted through the window.
b) The reflectivity of aluminum coated with lead sulfate is 0.35 for radiation at wavelength less than
3 um and 0.95 for radiation at wavelength greater than 3 µm,
i. determine the average reflectivity of this surface for solar radiation (T=5800 K) and the
radiation coming from the surface at room temperature (T=300 K)
ii. Kindly evaluate based on the emissivity and the absorptivity of this surface at both temperature,
if the material is suitable for use in solar collectors.
