Question

A small hot surface at temperature Ti-430K having an emissivity 0.8 dissipates heat by radiation into a surrounding area at T2-400K. If this radiation transfer process is characterized by a radiation heat transfer coefficient h, calculate the value of h (a) 14.4 W/m2.C (b) 114.4 W/m2C (c) 314.4 W/m2.C ( 514.4 W/m2.c

Answer 1

389.6 W/m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The power radiated to the surroundings by the small hot surface, P = σεA(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴) where σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴, ε = emissivity = 0.8. T₁ = temperature of small hot surface = 430 K and T₂ = temperature of surroundings = 400 K

So, P = σεA(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

h = P/A = σε(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

h = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴ × 0.8 ((430 K )⁴ - (400 K)⁴)

h = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴ × 0.8 (34188010000 K⁴ - 25600000000 K⁴)

h = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴ × 0.8 × 8588010000K⁴

h = 38955213360 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²

h = 389.55213360 W/m²

h ≅ 389.6 W/m²
