The Sun has a diameter of approximately 1.4 x 109 m and a surface temperature of about 5650 C. Assuming that the Sun radiates as a blackbody with emissivity of unity, calculate the power radiated by the Sun into the solar system, which you can assume is at the temperature of the microwave background radiation.

(a) Deter-nine the power of radiation from the Sun by noting that the intensity of the radiation at the distance of Earth is 1370 W/m2. Hint: That intensity will be found everywhere on a spherical surface with radius equal to that of Earth's orbit. (b) Assuring that the Sun's temperature is 5780 K and that its emissivity is 1, find its radius.
Consider a circular grill whose diameter is 0.3 m. The bottom of the grill is covered with hot coal bricks at 950 K, while the wire mesh on top of the grill is covered with steaks initially at 5°C. The distance between the coal bricks and the steaks is 0.20 m. Treating both the steaks and the coal bricks as blackbodies, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer from the coal bricks to the steaks. Also, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer to the steaks if the side opening of the grill is covered by aluminum foil, which can be approximated as a reradiating surface.

In solar water heater, energy from sun is gathered by water that circulates through the tubes in a rooftop collector. The sun heated water is pumped to a water container. Assume the efficiency of the system to be 20%. What collector area is needed to raise the temperature of 200 litre of water in a tank from 20∘C to 40∘C in 1.0 hours when the intensity of the sunlight is 700 W/m^2?
Assume, the average radiation intake of the planet earth increases by 120 W/m² momentarily. The planet therefore leaves its thermal equilibrium and starts heating up (neglect additional thermal losses). The total weight of the planet is 6 x 1024 kg. Assume, that we have 1.1 x 109 km³ of sea water and the rest of the planet is rock. The heat capacity of sea water is 3.6 kJ/ kg K, the density is 1 t/m³. The heat capacity of rock is 1.1 kJ/ kg K, the density is 2.9 t/m². Take the cross section area of the planet as A = r² with r being 6500 km. How long does it take, until the temperature of the earth has risen by 3°C? Assume, the full mass of the planet is always on the same temperature. Why is the result much lower than you'd expect? Which of the assumptions is not realistic?
A spherical interplanetary probe, with a diameter of 2 m, is sent out into the solar system. The probe surface is made of material having an emissivity of 0.9 and an absorptivity of 0.1. Signals from the sensors monitoring the probe surface temperatures are indicating an average value of −40°C for a space temperature of 0 K. If the electronics inside the probe is generating heat at a rate of 100 W/m3, determine the incident radiation rate on the probe surface.
The surface temperature of the sun is approximately 5,800 K. However, stars can be much hotter. WR 102 is one of the hottest known stars in the universe, with a surface temperature of approximately 200,000 K. WR 102 is also small and dense, with a radius that is approximately 0.58 that of the sun. What is the ratio between the radiated power of the sun to that of WR 102, Psun/PWR 102? Assume the emissivity, e, is the same for both stars, and that they are spherical.

Thermal emission from forehead. Noncontact thermom- eters are used to quickly measure the temperature of a person, to monitor for fever from an infection. They measure the power of the radiation from a surface, usually the forehead, in the infrared range, which is just outside the visible light range. Skin has an emissivity & = 0.97.

Two parallel disks of diameter D = 0.6 m separated by L = 0.4 m are located directly on top of each other. Both disks are black and are maintained at a temperature of 450 K. The back sides of the disks are insulated, and the environment that the disks are in can be considered to be a blackbody at 300 K. Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the disks to the environment.
