Q1. A small, opaque, diffuse object at Ts = 400 K is suspended in a large furnace whose
interior walls are at T f = 2000 K. The walls are diffuse and gray and have an emissivity
of 0.20. The spectral, hemispherical emissivity for the surface of the small object is
given below.

(a) Determine the total emissivity and absorptivity of the surface.

(b) Evaluate the reflected radiant flux and the net radiative flux to the Surface.
(c) What is the spectral emissive power at λ = 2 µm

Q 2. Two small surfaces, A and B, are placed inside an isothermal enclosure at a uniform
temperature. The enclosure provides an irradiation of 6300 W/m2 to each of the
surfaces, and surfaces A and B absorb incident radiation at rates of 5600 and 630 W/m2,
respectively. Consider conditions after a long time has elapsed.
(a) What are the net heat fluxes for each surface? What are their temperatures?
(b) Determine the absorptivity of each su1face.
(c) What are the emissive powers of each surface?
(d) Determine the emissivity of each surface.

Q 3. A horizontal, opaque surface at a steady-state temperature of 77°C is exposed to an
airflow having a free stream temperature of 270C with a convection heat transfer

coefficient of 28 W/m 2 • K. The emissive power of the surface is 628 W/m 2,

the irradiation is 1380 W/m2, and the reflectivity is 0.40.
(a) Determine the absorptivity of the surface.
(b) Determine the net radiation heat transfer rate for this surface.
(c ) Determine the combined heat transfer rate for the surface.
