Question

During experiments on laser etching of microchips for IBM, a nuclear engineer places a discshaped sample 5 mm in diameter in a vacuum chamber with surface temperature of 300 K. A 500 mW laser is then used to irradiate the sample uniformly. The sample surface can be considered ‘gray’ with an emissivity of 0.9 and can be considered ‘thin’ so that the disk temperature is uniform. In addition, a non-participating gas at a temperature of 27⁰C is used to cool the sample with a convection coefficient of 50 W/(m2K). Find the steady-state temperature of the disk

Answer 1

Steady state temperature is approximately 801K
