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.]

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?
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).
A room is to be heated with a sphere containing 1 metric tonne of hot water via radiation of energy (its closed system and convection is negligible). The heat loss from the room is 2kW. What temperature (in K) would the sphere of water need to maintain for steady state conditions in the room? Assume perfect blackbody.
At what rate does the solar wind carry kinetic energy away from the Sun? Give your result first in watts, then as a fraction of the Sun’s luminosity in photons ,L= 3.8×1026W
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 solar car has a roof dimensions of 116cm x 102cm for solar cells . Calculate the electrical power available, assuming total energy loss of 79% and a constant light intensity of 972 W/ m?. Answer:
Whereas electron microscopes make use of thewave properties of electrons, ion microscopes make use of the wave propertiesof atomic ions, such as helium ions 1He+2, to image materials. A heliumion has a mass 7300 times that of an electron. In a typical helium-ionmicroscope, helium ions are accelerated by a high voltage of 10–50 kVand focused into a beam onto the sample to be imaged. At these energies,the ions don’t travel very far into the sample, so this type of microscopeis used primarily for the surface imaging of biological structures. The useof helium ions with much greater energies (in the MeV range) has beenproposed as a way to image the entire thickness of a sample, becausethese faster helium ions can pass all the way through biological samplessuch as cells. In this type of ion microscope, the energy lost as the ionbeam passes through different parts of a cell can be measured and relatedto the distribution of material in the cell, with thicker parts of the cellcausing greater…
