You are the science officer on a visit to a distant solar system. Prior to landing
on a planet you measure its diameter to be 1.80 x 107 m and its fotation
period to be 22.3 hours. You have previously determined that the planet orbits
2.20 x 10 m from its star with a period of 392 earth days. Once on the
surface you find that the free-fall acceleration is 12.2 m/s²

The incident solar radiation on the glass cover, which transmits 90% of the incident flux, is 750 W/m2. Water flows through the tubes soldered to the backside of the absorber plate, entering at a temperature of 25°C. The temperature of the glass cover is 27°C, and it radiates heat with an emissivity of 0.92 to the sky at –50°C. Additionally, the glass cover losses heat by convection to air at 20°C flowing over its surface at 30 km/h. Assume that the radiation heat transfer between the absorber plate and glass cover and the heat transfer through the back and sides of the collector is negligible.arrow_forward
