A person is standing outdoors in the shade where the temperature is 17 °C. (a) What is the radiant energy absorbed per second by

his head when it is covered with hair? The surface area of the hair (assumed to be flat) is 140 cm2 and its emissivity is 0.87. (b) What would be the radiant energy absorbed per second by the same person if he were bald and the emissivity of his head were 0.68?

Answer:

a) 4.9W b) 3.82W

Explanation:

Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation formulae:

Q/t (W) = sigma* e*A*T^4

Sigma = 5.67*10^-8 j/sm^2K^4 (Stefano Boltzmann constant)

e = emissivity

T = absolute temperature in kelvin and A = area in m^2

a) Q/t = 140/10000(m^2) * 0.87* 5.67* 10^-8* (290^4) = 4.9W

b) without hair the

Q/t = 140/ 10000(m^2) *0.68* 5.67* 10^-8* (290^4)

= 3.82W

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of _______
mina [271]

Answer:

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of fluid particles.

Explanation:

Transfer of heat energy by the movement of fluid particles is called convection. Convection takes place in liquids and gases due to kinetic energy. When heat is provided to liquids and gases they expand and move faster.

Molecules with higher kinetic energy become less dense and rise up to the surface of liquid, whereas molecules with lower energy move towards the bottom. This up and down movement of molecules causes convection currents in fluids.
