Eventually, the hot iron sphere was immersed into a room temperature (about 22 degrees Celsius) water with a mass of 25.0 g. Calculate the final temperature of the water/iron system. The heat capacities of water and iron are 4.18 J/gK and 0.452 J/gK.

Solar radiation is incident on a 5 m2 solar absorberplate surface at a rate of 800 W/m2. Ninety-three percent ofthe solar radiation is absorbed by the absorber plate, whilethe remaining 7 percent is reflected away. The solar absorberplate has a surface temperature of 40°C with an emissivityof 0.9 that experiences radiation exchange with the surroundingtemperature of -5°C. In addition, convective heat transferoccurs between the absorber plate surface and the ambientair of 20°C with a convection heat transfer coefficient of7 W/m2∙K. Determine the efficiency of the solar absorber,which is defined as the ratio of the usable heat collected bythe absorber to the incident solar radiation on the absorber.
