(Radiation)

1. The total incident radiant energy upon a body which partially reflects,
absorbs and transmits radiant energy is 2200 Wm-2. Of this amount, 450
Wm-2 is reflected and 900 Wm-2 is absorbed by the body. Find the
transmissivity,. (0.3864)
2. A 100 W electric bulb has a filament temperature of 3001C. Assuming
the filament to be black, calculate the diameter of the wire if the length is
250 mm.
(0.02mm)
3. Two infinite black plates at 800C and 300C exchange heat by radiation.
Calculate the heat transfer per unit area.

4. A space satellite in the shape of a sphere with a diameter of 10 m is
traveling in outer space, where its surface temperature is held at 283.2 K.
The sphere sees only outer space, which can be considered as a black
body with a temperature of 0 K. The polished surface of the sphere has an
emissivity of 0.1. Calculate the heat loss by radiation.

5. Consider a 20cm X 20cm X 20 cm cubical body at 1000K suspended in the

a) The radiation rate emits by the cube, in W
(1.36 x 104W)

b) The spectral black body emissive power at a wavelength of 4m

6. Two very large parallel plates are maintained at uniform temperatures of


T1 = 600 K and T2 = 400 K and have emissivity 1 = 0.5 and 2 = 0.9
respectively. Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer between the
two surfaces per unit area of the plates.

long cylindrical enclosure of diameter D2 = 0.1 m and emissivity 2 = 0.95,
which is maintained at a temperature of 200 K. The rod is heated by
passing electric current through it. When steady operating condition is
reached, it is observed that the rod dissipating electric power at a rate of 8
W per unit of its length and its surface temperature is 500 K. Determine
the emissivity of 1.

kept in an evacuated cubic enclosure whose sides are 3 m long. The
emissivities of the spherical tank and the enclosure are 1 = 0.1 and 2 =
0.8, respectively. If the temperature of the cubic enclosure is measured to
be 240 K, determine the net of radiation heat transfer to the liquid
nitrogen.

11. A radiation shield that has the same emissivity 3 on both sides is placed
between two large parallel plates, which are maintained at uniform
temperatures of T1 = 650 K and T2 = 400 K and have emissivities of 1 =
0.6 and 2 = 0.9 respectively. Determine the emissivities of the radiation
shield if the radiation heat transfer between the plates is to be reduced to
15% of that without the radiation shield.
