Question

In relation to incoming radiation, which surface would receive the most heat?

  a.

the surface that is perpendicular to the radiation

  b.

the surface that is parallel to the radiation

  c.

the surface that is angled towards the radiation

  d.

the surface that is angled away from the radiation

 
Expert Solution
Step 1

for maximum momentum impingement, the surface area cross section should be maximum.

This will occur when surface is perpendicular to radiation.
