A simple solar collector in Figure Q1 is built by placing a 5 cm diameter clear plastic tube around a garden hose whose outer diameter is 1.6 cm. The hose is painted black to maximize solar absorption, and some plastic rings are used to keep the spacing between the hose and the clear plastic cover constant. During a clear day, the temperature of the hose is measured to be 65 °C, while the ambient air temperature is 26 °C. Determine the clear plastic tube temperature and the rate of heat loss from the water in the hose per meter of its length by natural convection.

An astronaut performing an extra-vehicular activity(space walk) shaded from the Sun is wearing a spacesuitthat can be approximated as perfectly white (e = 0) exceptfor a 5 cm × 8 cm patch in the form of the astronaut’snational flag. The patch has emissivity 0.300. The spacesuitunder the patch is 0.500 cm thick, with a thermalconductivity k = 0.0600 W/m °C , and its inner surface isat a temperature of 20.0 °C . What is the temperature of thepatch, and what is the rate of heat loss through it? Assumethe patch is so thin that its outer surface is at the sametemperature as the outer surface of the spacesuit under it.Also assume the temperature of outer space is 0 K. You willget an equation that is very hard to solve in closed form,so you can solve it numerically with a graphing calculator,with software, or even by trial and error with a calculator.

This experiment is conducted to determine the emissivity of a certain material. A long cylindrical rod of diameter D₁ = 0.01 m is coated with this new material and is placed in an evacuated long cylindrical enclosure of diameter D₂ = 0.1 m and emissivity 2 = 0.95, which is cooled externally and maintained at a temperature of 200 K at all times. The rod is heated by passing the electric current through it.
