An incandescent lamp filament has area 40 mm and operates at a temperature of 1127°C.Assume that all the energy furnished to the bulb is radiated from it. If the filament's emissivityis 0.83, how much power must be furnished to the bulb when it is operating
Consider a person whose exposed surface area is 1.7 m2, emissivity is 0.5, and surface temperature is 32°C. Determine the rate of heat loss from that person by radiation in a large room having walls at a temperature of (a) 300 K and (b) 280 K.
(a) Cherry-red embers in a fireplace are at 850C and have an exposed area of 0.200 m2 and an emissivity of 0.980. The surrounding room has a  temperature of 18.0C. If 50% of the radiant energy enters the room, what is the net rate of radiant heat transfer in kilowatts? (b) Does your answer support the contention that most of the heat transfer into a room by a fireplace comes from infrared radiation?
