Heat radiates from a small sphere suspended in a large room. The surface of the sphere of 1.5 sq. Ft. is at a temperature of 580 °F, and the inside surfaces of the room are at a temperature of 80 °F. Assuming the emissivity of the sphere surface to be 0.30, calculate the radian-heat transfer in BTU/hr.
