Question

A plane, opaque, surface M has the following properties: gray, diffuse, absorptivity = 0.7, surface area = 0.5 m2 , temperature maintained at 500°C. Surface M experiences incoming radiant energy at 10,000 W/m2 . Find the energy absorbed per unit time. Parts d – f will also refer to surface M.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of energy absorbed per unit time is 3500W.

Explanation:

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Plane, opaque, gray, diffuse surface

â = 0.7

Surface area, A = 0.5m²

Incoming radiant energy, G = 10000w/m²

T = 500°C

Rate of energy absorbed is âAG;

âAG = 0.7 × 0.5 × 10000

âAG = 3500W.

The energy absorbed is measured in watts and denoted by the symbol W.
