You are designing a chamber to contain the radiation emitted by nuclear decay during a fusion reaction. The left face of the (plane) chamber wall (x = 0) is exposed to the radiation and the right face of the wall (x = L) is perfectly insulated. To facilitate the fusion reaction, the left face of the wall is maintained at fixed temperature To. The radiation penetrates the wall causing uniform heat generation that varies with location inside the wall as ) = 40 (1 - 1) g(x) where qo [W/m^3 ] is a constant. Determine an expression for the temperature distribution in the wall T(x) assuming the thermal conductivity of the wall (k) is constant.
Two large walls are required to be maintained at constant temperatures of 800°F and 1200°F .Assuming the wall are black bodies, how.much heat must be removed from the colder wall to maintain a steady state constant temperature
2. (a) Consider a 25-cm-diameter spherical ball at 700 K suspended in air and assume the emissivity of the ball to be ε=0.95. Calculate: (i) the total emissive power in kW/m2; (ii) the total amount of radiation emitted by the ball in 3 minutes. (b) The inner and outer surfaces of a 25-cm-thick wall are at 27 oC and 45 oC, respectively. The outer surface of the wall exchanges heat by radiation with surrounding surfaces at 40 oC, and convection with ambient air at 42 oC with convection heat transfer coefficient of 9.0 W/m2 K. Solar radiation incident on the surface is at a rate of 150 W/m2. If the emissivity and the solar absorptivity of the outer surface are 0.75 and 0.85, respectively: (i) write the expression of the energy balance at the outer surface;…

You can neglect radiation at the bottom of the plate; the bottom side of the plate has water flowing underneath it. Often, when dealing with liquids (rather than gases), one can neglect radiation because heat transfer due to convection is so much larger (liquids tend to have higher convection coefficient values than gases).
An enclosure has an inside area of 50 m², and its inside surface is black and is maintained at a constant temperature. A small opening in the enclosure has an area of 0.03 m². The radiant power emitted from this opening is 52 W. What is the temperature of the interior enclosure wall, in K? If the interior surface is maintained at this temperature, but is now polished so that its emissivity is 0.15, what will be the value of the radiant power emitted from the opening, in W? T, = grad = i K W
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.

A 30 x 30 cm door in a brick kiln is at a distance of 3.5 m from a wall 12 m wide and 5 m high. The door is so located that a normal from the center of the door strikes the wall midway from the ends and 1.5 m above the floor. The opening into the kiln may be considered a black body; the wall is painted flat paint (Ɛ = 0.46). The temperature inside the kiln is 1 400 C and the wall temperature is 60 C. Determine (a) the configuration factor F12 and (b) the net radiant heat exchange between the opening and the wall when the fire door is open?
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?
