"A sphere of radius 0.50 m, temperature 27oC, and emissivity 0.85 is located in an environment of temperature 77oC. What is the net flow of energy transferred to the environment in 1 second?"

Explanation:

It is known that formula for area of a sphere is as follows.

                     A = [tex]4 \pi r^{2}[/tex]

                        = [tex]4 \times 3.14 \times (0.50 m)^{2}[/tex]

                        = 3.14 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

    [tex]T_{a}[/tex] = (27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

          T = (77 + 273.15) K = 350.15 K

Formula to calculate the net charge is as follows.

             Q = [tex]esA(T^{4} - T^{4}_{a})[/tex]

where,    e = emissivity = 0.85

               s = stefan-boltzmann constant = [tex]5.6703 \times 10^{-8} Wm^{-2} K^{-4}[/tex]

                A = surface area

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                 Q = [tex]esA(T^{4} - T^{4}_{a})[/tex]

                     = [tex]0.85 \times 5.6703 \times 10^{-8} Wm^{-2} K^{-4} \times 3.14 \times ((350.15)^{4} - (300.15)^{4})[/tex]

                     = 1046.63 W

Therefore, we can conclude that the net flow of energy transferred to the environment in 1 second is 1046.63 W.
