Answer to Problem 35P

In SI units, The amount of radiation emitted from a hot pavement in Arizona is 493.7W and in U.S customary units, it is 1684.7Btuh.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Area of the surface, A=1m2.

Emissivity of the surface, ε=0.8.

Temperature of the surface, Ts=50°C.

Formula used:

The relationship between degree Celsius (°C) and Kelvin is,

T(K)=T(Co)+273 (1)

Here,

T(°C) is the temperature in degree Celsius,

T(K) is the temperature in Kelvin.

The formula for the amount of radiant energy emitted by a surface is,

q=εσATs4 (2)

Here,

ε is the emissivity of the surface,

σ is the Boltzmann constant,

A is the area of the surface,

Ts is the temperature of the surface.

Calculation:

Substitute 50°C for T(°C) in equation (1) to find the surface temperature in Kelvin,

Ts(K)=50+273=323K

Substitute 0.8 for ε, 5.67×108Wm2K4 for σ, 1m2 for A, and 323K for Ts in equation (2) to find q,

q=(0.8)(5.67×108Wm2K4)(1m2)(323K)4=0.8×5.67×108×(323)4W=493.7W

Do the unit conversion in above result,

q=493.7W[1W=3.4123Btuh]=(493.7W)(3.4123Btuh1W)=1684.7Btuh

Therefore, in SI units, The amount of radiation emitted from a hot pavement in Arizona is 493.7W and in U.S customary units, it is 1684.7Btuh.

Conclusion:

Hence, in SI units, The amount of radiation emitted from a hot pavement in Arizona is 493.7W and in U.S customary units, it is 1684.7Btuh.

Answer to Problem 35P

In SI units, The amount of radiation emitted from a hood of a car is 489.8W and in U.S customary units, it is 1671.2Btuh.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Area of the surface, A=1m2.

Emissivity of the surface, ε=0.9.

Temperature of the surface, Ts=40°C.

Calculation:

Substitute 40°C for T(Co) in equation (1) to find the surface temperature in Kelvin,

Ts(K)=40+273=313K

Substitute 0.9 for ε, 5.67×108Wm2K4 for σ, 1m2 for A, and 313K for Ts in equation (2) to find q,

q=(0.9)(5.67×108Wm2K4)(1m2)(313K)4=0.8×5.67×108×(313)4W=489.8W

Do the unit conversion in above result,

q=498.8W            [1W=3.4123Btuh]=(498.8W)(3.4123Btuh1W)=1671.2Btuh

Therefore, in SI units, the amount of radiation emitted from a hood of a car is 489.8W and in U.S customary units, it is 1671.2Btuh.

Conclusion:

Hence, in SI units, the amount of radiation emitted from a hood of a car is 489.8W and in U.S customary units, it is 1671.2Btuh.

Answer to Problem 35P

In SI units, The amount of radiation emitted from a sunbather is 477.4W and in U.S customary units, it is 1629.0Btuh.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Area of the surface, A=1m2.

Emissivity of the surface, ε=0.9.

Temperature of the surface, Ts=38°C.

Calculation:

Substitute 38°C for T(°C) in equation (1) to find the surface temperature in Kelvin,

Ts(K)=38+273=311K

Substitute 0.9 for ε, 5.67×108Wm2K4 for σ, 1m2 for A, and 311K for Ts in equation (2) to find q,

q=(0.9)(5.67×108Wm2K4)(1m2)(311K)4=0.9×5.67×108×(311)4W=477.4W

Do the unit conversion in above result,

q=477.4W[1W=3.4123Btuh]=(477.4W)(3.4123Btuh1W)=1629.0Btuh

Therefore, in SI units, the amount of radiation emitted from a sunbather is 477.4W and in U.S customary units, it is 1629.0Btuh.

Conclusion:

Hence, in SI units, the amount of radiation emitted from a sunbather is 477.4W and in U.S customary units, it is 1629.0Btuh.
