(a) Cherry-red embers in a fireplace are at 850ºC and have an exposed area of 0.200 m2 and an emissivity of 0.980. The surrounding room has a temperature of 18.0ºC . 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 transferinto a room by a fireplace comes from infrared radiation?

if you know that the intensity of sunlight reaching the planet earth is 1.40kW/m^2, determine the following: a) the power output of the sun b) what the intensity of sunlight reaching mercury is. please write the steps clearly as i would like to understand. i will give a like if its neatly writen and well explained. thanks.

(A) Every square meter area facing the Sun, at the distance 1 AU from the Sun, receives radiant power = 1.368 kW. Therefore, what is the total power radiated by the Sun? (B) Imagine a spacecraft at distance d from the Sun, which has a solar panel with area A and efficiency e. (I.e., the solar panel converts this fraction of incident sunlight to electric power.) How much electric power can the solar panel produce for the spacecraft? d = 1.56 AU; A = 7.02 m^2; e = 28.5 percent;
