Properties of Surface Emission Question 1:
When the temperature of a solid surface changes from 227°C to 1227°C, its total emissive power changes from E1 to E2. The ratio (E2/E1) will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
The thermal energy radiated by a black body per second per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature and is given by:
E ∝ T4
E = σT4
σ = The Stefan – Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10-8 W m-2K-4
Calculation:
\(\frac{{{E_2}}}{{{E_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} \right)^4} = {\left( {\frac{{1227 + 273}}{{227\; + 273}}} \right)^4} = {\left( {\frac{{1500}}{{500}}} \right)^4} = 81\)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 2:
Which of the following statements are incorrect?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- For any type of body,
Absorptivity (α) + Reflectivity (ρ) + Transmissivity (τ) = 1
Radiosity (J) = [Reflectivity (ρ) × Irradiation (G)] + Emissive power (E) + Transmitted irradiation (T)
Explanation:
Different types of bodies:
- Now for non-reflecting body, ρ = 0 ⇒ J = E + T (Option 1 is wrong)
- For white body, ρ = 1 ⇒ α + τ = 1 ⇒ α = 0, τ = 0 can not be possible. (Option 2 is wrong)
- A diathermanous body is a body that transmits all the incident radiation without absorbing or reflecting it.
- Hence τ = 1 ⇒ α + ρ = 0 ⇒ α = 0, ρ = 0. (Option 3 is wrong)
- All black bodies behave like black bodies but all black bodies need not be black in color. (Option 4 is wrong)
- For example, a small hole leading into a cavity acts nearly as a black body which need not be black in color.
Properties of Surface Emission Question 3:
A furnace is placed in a vacuum chamber. The furnace is losing 10% of the heat through one of its faces, then what is the total heat generated by the furnace in kJ/s, if the outside wall temperature of the furnace is at 727°C and the wall of the vacuum chamber are at 27°C, the emissivity of the furnace is 0.2, and the area of the each face is 10 m2. Take Stefan Boltzman’s constant as 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K4.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 1120 - 1130
Properties of Surface Emission Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
When there is vacuum inside the chamber then the heat is lost by the radiation.
The heat lost through radiation is given as
\(Q = \sigma \times \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right) \times A \times \epsilon\)
where σ is the Stefan Boltzman’s constant
σ = 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K4
A is the area of the surface
ϵ is the emissivity of the surface
Calculation:
Given, Temperature of furnace, T1 = 727°C = 1000 K, ϵ = 0.2, A = 10 m2, Temperature of the surrounding T2 = 27°C = 300 K.
Then heat lost by the furnace
\({Q_{lost}} = 5.67 \times {10^{ - 8}} \times 10 \times 0.2 \times \left( {{{1000}^4} - {{300}^4}} \right)\)
Qlost = 112481.46 W
Qlost = 112.481 kW
Since it is the heat lost by the furnace, which is equal to 10% of the heat generated.
Then,
Qlost = 0.1 × Qgen
\({Q_{gen}} = \frac{{{Q_{lost}}}}{{0.1}} = \frac{{112.481}}{{0.10}} = 1124.81\;kW\)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 4:
In a solar collector, the function of the transparent cover is to:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 4 Detailed Solution
Solar thermal collector:
It is a device which is used to collect the heat by absorbing the sunlight. It is mainly used to collect the solar energy and then convert into thermal energy.
The most commonly used solar thermal collector is flat plate collector.
Flat plate solar collector: The flat-plate solar collectors are probably the most fundamental and most studied technology for solar-powered domestic hot water systems. The Sun heats a dark flat surface, which collects as much energy as possible, and then the energy is transferred to water, air, or other fluid for further use.
The solar radiation is absorbed by the black plate and transfers heat to the fluid in the tubes. The thermal insulation prevents heat loss during fluid transfer; the screens reduce the heat loss due to convection and radiation to the atmosphere
The main components of a typical flat-plate solar collector:
- Black surface - absorbent of the incident solar energy
- Glazing cover - a transparent layer that transmits radiation to the absorber, but prevents radiative and convective heat loss from the surface
- Tubes containing heating fluid to transfer the heat from the collector
- Support structure to protect the components and hold them in place
- Insulation covering sides and bottom of the collector to reduce heat losses
Advantages:
- Easy to manufacture
- Low cost
- Collect both beam and diffuse radiation
- Permanently fixed (no sophisticated positioning or tracking equipment is required)
- Little maintenance
The efficiency of flat plate collectors is usually 61%.
Properties of Surface Emission Question 5:
It is advisable to put on white cloth in summer, the reason is for white cloth
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 5 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
- White and shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat and light whereas dark and black surfaces are the good absorber of heat and light.
- A person with dark skin will experience more heat and mole cold in comparison to white skin people.
EXPLANATION:
- We prefer white clothes in summer because white clothes reflect most of the sun's heat and absorb very little of the sun's heat and keep our body bodies.
- When the body will be in black colors (Like Black cloths), all the light gets absorbed because black is the good absorber and bad reflector (ρ = 0, τ = 0, and α = 1) whereas white color body like (White cloths) emits or reflect all the light coming towards it (ρ = 1, τ = 0, and α = 0)
- So, for white color,
α = 0, τ = 0 and ρ = 1
So, the correct answer is option1.
Additional Information
- Application of White colors:
- Radiator in homes is painting with white.
- We wear white cloth in summer because it reflects all the light and makes our body cool.
Additional Information
- Dark people like people who live in Africa have the ability to absorb, an average of 36% heat or solar radiation than any other people in the world.
- There are no such bodies that are perfectly absorbing or emitting light, this means no light can be absorbed or emitted totally.
Properties of Surface Emission Question 6:
A 40 cm diameter disk with an emissivity of 0.65 is placed in a large enclosure at 30°C and is effectively a black body. If the disc has a temperature of 55°C, calculate the radiosity of its upper surface.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Radiosity (J):
Radiosity is the term used to indicate the total energy leaving a surface per unit time and per unit surface area. Energy leaving can be due to its own temperature or due to the reflected energy which incident on it.
J = E + GR
where E = ϵEb = ϵσT4= energy leaving per unit area due to its own temperature and GR = (1 - ϵ)σT4atm = reflected energy due to the energy falling from atmosphere.
Calculation:
Given:
d = 40 cm, ϵ = 0.65 , Tatm = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K ,T = 55°C = 55 + 273 = 328 K
σ = Stefan Boltzman Constant = 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K4
J = ϵσT4 + (1 - ϵ)σT4atm
J = 0.65 × 5.67 × 10-8 × 3284 + ( 1 – 0.65) × 5.67 × 10-8 × 3034
J = 594 W/m2
Properties of Surface Emission Question 7:
A small cube of side 1 cm is black body maintained at 400 k placed inside a large cube of side 10 cm, which is opaque and maintained at 2000 K. Emissivity of large cube is 0.5. Find the total irradiation on the small cube in Watt (upto one decimal place)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 272 - 273
Properties of Surface Emission Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Concept:
Irradiation (G): The thermal radiation falling or incident upon a surface per unit time and per unit area is called irradiation
Calculation:
Given:
a1 = 1 cm, a2 = 10 cm, T1 = 400 K, T2 = 2000 K, Emissivity of large cube, ϵ = 0.5
F12 = 1
A1 F12 = A2 F21
6 × 12 × F12 = 6 × 102 × F21
F21 = 0.01
Irradiation on surface (1) = Energy emitted by surface 2 falling on 1 + Energy emitted by surface 1 which is reflected from surface 2 & reaches surface 1.
\(\rm G=ε σ A_2T_2^4 F_{21}+σ A_1T_1^4ρ F_{21}\)
ρ = refectivity of surface 2 = 1 - absorptivity & absorptivity= ε
⇒ ρ = ε = 0.5
\(\rm G=σ(ε A_2T_2^4 F_{21}+A_1T_1^4ρ F_{21})\)
G = 5.67 × 10-8 × ( 0.5 × 6 × 0.12 × 20004 × 0.01 + 6 × 0.012 × 4004 × 0.5 × 0.01)
G = 272.16 W
Properties of Surface Emission Question 8:
The temperature of a radiating surface changes from 400 K to 1200 K. The ratio of total emissive powers at the higher and lower temperatures would be-
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Stefan-Boltzmann Law
The thermal energy radiated by a black body per second per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature and is given by:
E ∝ T4
E = σT4
σ = The Stefan – Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10-8 W m-2K-4
Calculation:
Given:
T1 = 400 K, T2 = 1200 K
\(\frac{{{E_2}}}{{{E_1}}} = {\left( {\frac{{{T_2}}}{{{T_1}}}} \right)^4} = {\left( {\frac{{1200}}{{400}}} \right)^4} =3^4 = 81\)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 9:
If ε is the emissivity of surfaces and shields and n is the number of shields, introduced between the two surfaces, then overall emissivity is given by
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Properties of Surface Emission Question 9 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
1 shield kept between the plates will bring in 3 additional resistances extra into the network out of which 2 are surface resistances and 1 is space resistance.
Hence if there are n number of radiation shields, then a total 2n + 2 number of surface resistance and n + 1 number of space resistances will be there in the radiation network drawn with n number of shields.
The formula for heat flux without shield when every surfaces has emissivity ϵ,
\({\left( {\frac{q}{A}} \right)_{without\;shield}}= \;\frac{{\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)}}{{{\frac{1}{\epsilon_1}+}\frac{1}{\epsilon_2} - 1}} = \;\frac{{\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)}}{{\frac{2}{\epsilon} - 1}}\)
\({\left( {\frac{q}{A}} \right)_{with\;one\;shield}} = \frac{{\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)}}{{\frac{4}{\epsilon} - 2}} = \frac{1}{2}\;\times\frac{{\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)}}{{\frac{2}{\epsilon} - 1}}\)
If there are n number of shields kept between plates then,
\({\left( {\frac{q}{A}} \right)_{with\;n\;shields}} = \frac{1}{{n + 1}}{\left( {\frac{q}{A}} \right)_{without\;any\;shield}}\)
\({\left( {\frac{q}{A}} \right)_{with\;n\;shields}} = \frac{1}{{n + 1}}\;\frac{{\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)}}{{\frac{2}{\epsilon} - 1}} = \frac{\epsilon}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {2 - \epsilon} \right)}}\sigma \left( {T_1^4 - T_2^4} \right)\)
From the above equation, equivalent emissivity,
\({\epsilon_{eq}} = \frac{\epsilon}{{\left( {n + 1} \right)\left( {2 - \epsilon} \right)}}\)
