When the Sun becomes a red giant, it's luminosity will be 2000 times its current value. The solar flux at Earth will also increase by a factor of 2000. Neglecting the greenhouse effect, the surface temperature of the earth is determined by thermal equilibrium: the flux of radiation absorbed equals the flux of radiation emitted. This means the Earth's surface flux must also increase by a factor of 2000. If the current average surface temperature is 58 degrees F. what wil the average surface temperature be when the Sun is a red giant. [Hint: use the Stefan-Boltzman's law in the form of a ratio, and remember that the temperature there is in Kelvins.]

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).
The amount of radiation received per unit time by a person working near a radioactive source, commonly called the dose rate, is measured in rem hr-1. The safety regulations forbid dose rates in excess of 7.5 × 10-4 rem hr-1. The γ dose rate from the 4219K source is found to be 3 × 10-3 rem hr-1 at a distance of 1 m. What is the minimum distance from this source at which itis safe to work? After how long will it be safe to work at a distance of 1 m from the source?
1. Solar Collector Problem: From the diameter of the sun and the earth and the mean distance of sun from earth, estimate (a) the amount of energy emitted from the sun, (b) the amount of energy received by the earth, and (c) the solar constant for a sun temperature of 5700K. If the distance of Planet-Y from the sun is 7.0 astronomical unit, estimate, (c) the solar constant for Planet-Y for a sun temperature of 5700K. (Stefan-Boltzmann constant, o = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2-K4).

What is the solar radiation on a horizontal surface in the absence of the atmosphere at latitude 36° N on March 15 for one day?
Application: Assume a small spacecraft is in open space. One panel is a dedicated radiator (dimensions in image) and is painted with S13 GLO white paint (emissivity = .89). If the radiator is at 30C and has a full view factor to space, how much heat can it reject from the system? (How much is this radiator radiating to space?). Use 3K for space temperature. Round answer up to one decimal place. No need to include units. (Remember that -/+ signs are used in respect to direction of energy transfer) h 37°F Cloudy HD GAN .1 m Radiator .3 m Q Search
