At our distance from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is 1370 W/m^2. The temperature of the Earth is affected by the gr

eenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This phenomenon describes the effect of absorption of infrared light emitted by the surface so as to make the surface temperature of the Earth higher than if it were airless. For comparison, consider a spherical object of radius r with no atmosphere at the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. Assume its emissivity is the same for all kinds of electromagnetic radiation and its temperature is uniform over its surface.
Compute its steady-state temperature. Is it chilly?

Answer:

The steady-state temperature is  T =  4.85 ^oC

Yes it is chilly

Explanation:

From the question we are told

       The intensity of solar radiation is  I =  1320 \  \frac{W}{m^2}

Generally the Stefan Boltzmann Law is mathematically represented as

          P  =  A \epsilon \sigma T^4

Where

         P is the total power radiated

          A is the surface area of the object

          \epsilon is the emissivity

          T is the temperature of the object

           \sigma is the Boltzmann constant with a value \sigma  =  5.670 *10^{-8} \frac{W}{m^2 K^4}

Generally at steady state  the input power to the object  is equal to the output power from the object

           i.e    P_A = P_B

Now  P_A

which is the input power to the object is not dependent on the object temperature and on the Boltzmann constant

thus P_A  is mathematically represented as

               P_A =  \epsilon IA_a

Where A_a  is  absorptive surface area mathematically represented as

            A_a  = \pi r^2

Thus

        P_A =  \epsilon I \pi r^2

And   P_B which is the output  power to the object is mathematically represented a

                P_B =  A_s \epsilon \sigma T^4

Where A_s is the radiative surface area which is mathematically  as

           A_s =  4\pi r^2

So

            P_B  = 4\pi r^2 \epsilon \sigma T^4

=>         \epsilon I \pi r^2 = 4\pi r^2 \epsilon \sigma T^4

=>          T =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{I}{4 \sigma } }

substituting values

             T =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{1370}{4 * 5.670 *10^{-8} } }

             T = 278 \ K

Converting to degrees

         T = 278 - 273

        T =  4.85 ^oC

This implies that at steady state it is chilly

Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Q_T=63313.5\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of skin, T_s=34^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of steam vapour, T_v=100^{\circ}C
  • latent heat of steam, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • mass of steam, m=25\ g
  • specific heat of water, c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • final temperature, T_f=34^{\circ}C

<em>Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.</em>

<u>We know:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

<u>Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:</u>

Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w ..............................(1)

where:

Q_{Lv}= latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

Q_w= heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)

Q_T=63313.5\ J

is the heat transferred to the skin.
