Problem Set 5 - Radiation Heat Transfer

1. The filament temperature of a light bulb is 2 000 K when the bulb delivers 40 W of power. If its emissivity
remains constant, what power is delivered when the filament temperature is 2 500 K?
[98 W]

2. At high noon, the sun delivers 1 000 W to each square meter of a blacktop road. What is the equilibrium
temperature of the hot asphalt, assuming its emissivity e = 1? ( = 5.67  10−8 W/m2K4).
[91°C]

3. A black thermocouple measures the temperature in a chamber with black walls. If the air around the
thermocouple is at 20 °C, the walls are at 100 °C, and the heat transfer coefficient between the thermocouple and
the air is 15 W/m2 K, what temperature will the thermocouple read?
[51°C]
4. A crucible of molten metal at 1800°C is placed on the foundry floor. The foundryman covers it with a metal
sheet to reduce heat loss to the room. If the transfer factor between the melt and the sheet is 0.4, and that between
the top of the sheet and the room is 0.8, how much will the heat loss to the room be reduced by the sheet if the
transfer factor between the uncovered melt and the room had been 0.8?
[66.7%]

5. An electronic component dissipates 0.38 Watts through a heat sink by convection and radiation (black body)
into surrounds at 20°C. What is the surface temperature of the heat sink if the convective heat transfer coefficient
is 6 W/m2K, and the heat sink has an effective area of 0.001 m2?
[50°C]

6. The over-all heat transfer coefficient due to convection and radiation for a steam main at 200°C running in a
large room at 30 °C is 17.95 W/m2 K. Calculate the heat transfer coefficient due to convection and radiation
taking the emissivity of the pipe surface as 0.8.
[6.85; 11.1 W/m2 K]
