Problem Sheet-2 (Thermal Radiation)

1. A black body of total area 0.045 m2 is completely enclosed in a space bounded by


5 cm thick walls. The walls have a surface area 0.5 m2 and thermal conductivity
1.07 W/m-deg. If the inner surface of the enveloping wall is to be maintained at
215°C and the outer wall surface is at 30°C, calculate the temperature of the black
body. Neglect the difference between inner and outer surfaces areas of enveloping
material.
2. Calculate the energy radiated per minute from the filament of an incandescent lamp
at 3000K, if the surface area is 10-4sq meters and relative emittance is 0.425.
3. Two large closely spaced concentric spheres (both of which are black body
radiators) are maintained at temperatures of 400K and 600K respectively. Calculate
net rate of energy transfer between the two temperatures.
4. Calculate the radiant emittance of a black body at a temperature of (i) 200K and
(ii) 400K.
5. The relative emittance of tungsten is approximately 0.70. A tungsten sphere of
surface area 5×10-4sq meters is suspended inside a large evacuated enclosure whose
walls are at 300K. What power input is required to maintain the sphere at a
temperature of 3000K. the conduction of heat along the supports can be neglected.
6. An iron furnace radiates 1.53 × 105 calories per hour through an opening of cross-
section 10-4 sq meter. If the relative emittance of the furnace is 0.80, calculate the
temperature of the furnace.
7. An aluminum foil of relative emittance 0.1 is placed in between two concrete
spheres at temperature 300K and 200K respectively. Calculate the temperature of
the foil after the steady state is reached. Assume that, the spheres are perfectly
blackbody radiators. Also calculate the rate of energy transfer between one of the
spheres and the foil.
8. A furnace radiation at 2000K. Treating it as a black body radiation, calculate the
(i) Wavelength at which emission is maximum and the corresponding radiant flux
density
(ii) Total emissive power, and
(iii) Wavelength λ such that emission from 0 to λ is equal to the emission from λ
to ∞.
9. The temperature of the flame in a furnace is 1900 K, find (a) monochromatic
energy emission at 1μ per m2 (b) λmax (c) monochromatic energy emission at
λmax and at 1900 K. (d) Ratio of Ebλ / (Ebλ)max (e) Total energy emitted/m2.
10. A black body at 3000 K emits radiation. Calculate the following:
i) Monochromatic emissive power at 7 mm wave length.
ii) Wave length at which emission is maximum.
iii) Maximum emissive power.
iv) Total emissive power,
v) Calculate the total emissive of the furnace if it is assumed as a real surface
having emissivity equal to 0.85. Given: Surface temperature T = 3000K
