The room is 20 ft by 20 ft wide and 9 ft high. The floor is at 100°F, the walls are at 60°F, and the ceiling is at 40°F. All surfaces are assumed black. Calculate the net radiation heat transfer (a) from floor to walls and (b) from floor to ceiling.
How do you differentiate flat plate solar collectors from evacuated tube solar collectors?
Hi, this is an design and essay problem. From thermodynamics You need to assume the temperature of the black surface to find the working potential. The Sun supplies electromagnetic energy to Earth. It appears to have an effective temperature of approximately 5,800 K. On a clear summer day in North America, the incident energy on a surface facing the Sun is approximately 0.95 kW / m2. Electromagnetic solar energy can be converted into thermal energy by being absorbed by a darkened surface. How could you characterize the work potential of solar energy when it is to be used to produce work?
Draw the desired emissivity versus wavelength for an object to absorb energy from the sun and retain it. And Draw the desired emissivity of an object that uses radiation as cooling by rejecting sunlight and radiating heat.
