The exposed surface of a power amplifier for an earth satellite receiver of area 130 m m x 130mm has a diffuse, gray, opaque coating with an emissivity of 0.5. For typical amplifier operating conditions, the surface temperature is 58 ∘ C under the following environmental conditions: air temperature, T ∞ = 27 ∘ C ; sky temperature, T s k y = 20 ∘ C ; convection coefficient, 15 W/m 2 ⋅ K ; and solar irradiation, G s = 800 W/m 2 . (a) For the above conditions, determine the electrical power being generated within the amplifier. (b) It is desired to reduce the surface temperature by applying one of the diffuse coatings (A, B, C) shown as follows. Which coating will result in the coolest surface temperature for the same amplifier operating and environmental conditions?

A small sphere (emissivity = 0.745, radius = r1) is located at the center of a spherical asbestos shell (thickness = 1.72 cm, outer radius = r2; thermal conductivity of asbestos is 0.090 J/(s m Co)). The thickness of the shell is small compared to the inner and outer radii of the shell. The temperature of the small sphere is 727 °C, while the temperature of the inner surface of the shell is 406 °C, both temperatures remaining constant. Assuming that r2/r1 = 6.54 and ignoring any air inside the shell, find the temperature in degrees Celsius of the outer surface of the shell.
A small sphere (emissivity =0.503 radius=r1) is located at the center of a spherical abestos shell ( thickness =1.74 cm, outer radius= r2; thermal conductivity of abestos is 0.090 J/ (sm c degrees) The thickness of the shell is small compared to the inner and outer radii of the shell. The temperature of the small sphere is 695 degrees Celsius while the temperature of the inner surface of the shell is 352 degrees Celsius, both temperatures remaining constant. Assuming that r2/r1 =8.75 and ignoring any air inside the shell, find the temperature in degrees Celsius of the outer surface of the shell.
