Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a surface with an emissivity of 0.85 at a temperature of 600 K. Calculate the emissive power using the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
💡 Hint: Don't forget about the constant and ensure units are consistent!
Two surfaces, one with an emissivity of 0.9 and the other 0.6, are at temperatures of 400 K and 300 K respectively. Calculate the heat transfer between them, given their areas are equal.
💡 Hint: Focus on how emissivity affects the transfer; equation will guide your approach.
