A log of burning wood in the fireplace has a surface temperature of 450°C. Assume that the emissivity is 1 (a perfect black body), calculate the radiant emission of energy per unit surface area.

Respuesta :

Answer:

It radiates at a rate of [tex]15506.98Wm^{-2}[/tex]

Explanation:

We shall use Stefan–Boltzmann law to calculate radiant emission of energy

According to Stefan–Boltzmann law we have

[tex]P=e\sigma AT^{4}[/tex]

For a perfect black body we have 'e' =1

It is given surface temperature = [tex]450^{o}C=723.15 Kelvins [/tex]

Thus applying values in the above equation we have

energy per unit surface area=

[tex]\frac{P}{A}=e\sigma T^{4}\\\\\therefore \frac{P}{A}=1\times 5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 723.15^{4}\\\\\frac{P}{A}=15506.98Wm^{-2}[/tex]
