Presents the diagram of the problem, necessary formulas, clearance and numerical solution: The filament of an incandescent lamp has an area of 50 mm2 and operates at a temperature of 2,127 ◦C. Assume that all the energy supplied to the bulb is radiated by it. If the emissivity of the filament is 0.83, how much power must be supplied to the bulb when it is in operation?
The exterior walls of a house have a total area of 194 m2 and are at 12.4°C and the surrounding air is at 7.4° C. Find the rate of convective cooling of the walls, assuming a convection coefficient of 2.9 W/(m2·°C). Since you're looking for the rate of cooling, your answer should be entered as positive
An insulated container is partly filled with oil. The lid of the container is removed, 0.150 kg of water heated to 84.0°C is poured in, and the lid is replaced. As the water and the oil reach equilibrium, the volume of the oil increases by 1.00x105 m³. The density of the oil is 919 kg/m³, its specific heat capacity is 1980 J/(kg-C°), and its coefficient of volume expansion is 726x10-6 (Cº)-¹. What is the temperature when the oil and the water reach equilibrium? Number Units
