At midday when a black paved airport runway is directly under the Sun, it receives 800 W of solar power per square meter of surface from the Sun. If this hot surface loses energy only by radiation back into the atmosphere, what is its equilibrium temperature (in K)? You may use an emissivity of e = 1 for a black surface
question from zemansky book
Two large black plates are separated by a vacuum. On the outside
of one plate is a convection environment of 80C with h=100W/m²C,
while outside the other plate is exposed to 20C and h=15W/m²C.
Make an energy balance for this system and determine the plate
temperatures.

The surface of each loaf measures 14 cm x 25 cm.Assuming that the emissivity of dough is 0.85, that the dough bakes at 110 ℃, and that92% of the heat is transmitted in the form of radiant energy, calculate the efficiency ofenergy use (as the percentage of the supplied radiant energy which is absorbed by the food)for each batch.arrow_forward7.Consider a person standing in a room maintained at 20°C at all times. The inner surfaces of the walls, floors, and ceiling of the house are observed to be at an average temperature of 12°C in winter and 23°C in summer.
