1. Define:
a) Emissive power
b) Emissivity
c) Blackbody
2. Consider a 20cm X 20cm X 20 cm cubical body at 1000K suspended in the
air. Assuming the body closely approximates a blackbody, determine:(2118)
a) The radiation rate emits by the cube, in W

(1.36 x 104W)

b) The spectral black body emissive power at a wavelength of 4m

3. The total incident radiant energy upon a body which partially reflects,
absorbs and transmits radiant energy is 2200 Wm -2. Of this amount, 450
Wm-2 is reflected and 900 Wm-2 is absorbed by the body. Find the
transmissivity,.

6. A space satellite in the shape of a sphere with a diameter of 10 m is
traveling in outer space, where its surface temperature is held at 283.2 K.
The sphere sees only outer space, which can be considered as a black

7. Two very large parallel plates are maintained at uniform temperatures of
T1 = 600 K and T2 = 400 K and have emissivity 1 = 0.5 and 2 = 0.9
respectively. Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer between the
two surfaces per unit area of the plates. (22-26)

9. A long cylindrical rod with diameter D 1 = 0.01 m is placed in evacuated
long cylindrical enclosure of diameter D 2 = 0.1 m and emissivity 2 = 0.95,
which is maintained at a temperature of 200 K. The rod is heated by
passing electric current through it. When steady operating condition is
reached, it is observed that the rod dissipating electric power at a rate of 8
W per unit of its length and its surface temperature is 500 K. Determine
the emissivity of 1.
