A 5-mm-diameter spherical ball at 50°C is covered by a 1-mm-thick plastic insulation (k = 0.13 W/m·K). The ball is exposed to a medium at 15°C, with a combined convection and radiation heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2·K. Determine if the plastic insulation on the ball will help or hurt heat transfer from the ball.
If I were in space, how long would it take to get hypothermia ( ΔT = -2 °C). Assume I am essentially just 70 kg of water (Csp = 4.184 J/gC) radiating as a perfect back-body radiator.
One of the tallest buildings in the world is the Taipei 101 in Taiwan, at a height of 1671 feet. Assume that this height was measured on a cool spring day when the temperature was 16 ℃. You could use the building as a sort of a giant thermometer on a hot summer day by carefully measuring its height. Suppose you do this and discover that the Taipei 101 is 0.478 feet taller than its official height. What is the temperature of this summer day, assuming that the building is in thermal equilibrium with the air and that its entire frame is made of steel?

- A 5.50-kg black cat and her four black kittens, each with mass 0.800 kg, sleep snuggled together on a mat on a cool night, with their bodies forming a hemisphere. Assume the hemisphere has a surface temperature of 31.0°C, an emissivity of 0.970, and a uniform density of 990 kg/m3. Find(a) the radius of the hemisphere, (b) the area of its curved surface, (c) the radiated power emitted by the cats at their curved surface, and (d) the intensity of radiation at this surface. You may think of the emitted electromagnetic wave as having a single predominant frequency. Find (e) the amplitude of the electric field in the electromagnetic wave just outside the surface of the cozy pile and (f) the amplitude of the magnetic field.(g) What If? The next night, the kittens all sleep alone, curling up into separate hemispheres like their mother. Find the total radiated power of the family. (For simplicity, ignore the cats’ absorption of radiation from the environment.)arrow_forwardAn incandescent light bulb has a tungsten filament that is heated to a temperature of 3.00 x103 K when an electric current passes through it.

The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects: (a) it is only 70 % as far from the sun, so the solar constant is 2800 W/m²; (b) its thick clouds reflect 77% of all incident sunlight and (c) its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light.
