So, If the silica cyliner of the radiant wall heater is rated at 1.5 kw its temperature when operating is 1025.3 K
To estimate the operating temperature of the radiant wall heater, we need to use the equation for power radiated by the radiant wall heater.
<h3>Power radiated by the radiant wall heater</h3>
The power radiated by the radiant wall heater is given by P = εσAT⁴ where
- ε = emissivity = 1 (since we are not given),
- σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 6 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴,
- A = surface area of cylindrical wall heater = 2πrh where
- r = radius of wall heater = 6 mm = 6 × 10⁻³ m and
- h = length of heater = 0.6 m, and
- T = temperature of heater
Since P = εσAT⁴
P = εσ(2πrh)T⁴
Making T subject of the formula, we have
<h3>Temperature of heater</h3>
T = ⁴√[P/εσ(2πrh)]
Since P = 1.5 kW = 1.5 × 10³ W
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
T = ⁴√[P/εσ(2πrh)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/(1 × 6 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²-K⁴ × 2π × 6 × 10⁻³ m × 0.6 m)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/(43.2π × 10⁻¹¹ W/K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[1.5 × 10³ W/135.72 × 10⁻¹¹ W/K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[0.01105 × 10¹⁴ K⁴)]
T = ⁴√[1.105 × 10¹² K⁴)]
T = 1.0253 × 10³ K
T = 1025.3 K
So, If the silica cylinder of the radiant wall heater is rated at 1.5 kw its temperature when operating is 1025.3 K
