Hi, this is an design and essay problem. From thermodynamics
You need to assume the temperature of the black surface to find the working potential.
The Sun supplies electromagnetic energy to Earth. It appears to have an effective temperature of approximately 5,800 K. On a clear summer day in North America, the incident energy on a surface facing the Sun is approximately 0.95 kW / m2. Electromagnetic solar energy can be converted into thermal energy by being absorbed by a darkened surface. How could you characterize the work potential of solar energy when it is to be used to produce work?

- A thin, disk-shaped silicon wafer of diameter D=20 cm on a production line must be maintained at a temperature of 100 deg C. The wafer loses heat to the room by convection and radiation from its upper surface, while heat is supplied at a constant flux from below. The surrounding air is at 20 deg C, while all surrounding surfaces (which can be treated as blackbodies) can be approximated to be isothermal at a temperature of 15 deg C.

When a high voltage is placed across the tube, many atoms are excited, and all excited atoms emit electromagnetic radiation at characteristic frequencies. According to the Doppler effect, the frequencies observed in the laboratory depend on the velocity of the emitting atom. The nonrelativistic Doppler shift of radiation emitted in the x direction is f = f0(1 + vx / c). The resulting wavelengths observed in the spectroscope are spread to higher and lower values because of the (respectively) lower and higher frequencies, corresponding to negative and positive values of vx. We say that the spectral line has been Doppler broadened. This is what allows us to see the lines easily in the spectroscope, because the Heisenberg uncertainty principle does not cause signifi cant line broadening in atomic transitions.
