Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1364 W/m2 what angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 35% of the original value?

Using the gray atmosphere model with an emissivity of 0.77 and a assuming a constant observed mean July surface temperature of 22 ◦C, plot the net downward longwave radiation over the course of the day. Plot the net downward radiative flux at Rochester’s latitude (43°) over the course of the day. When would the radiation flux lead to surface warming and when would it lead to surface cooling? What is the daily mean flux, and would this lead to warming or cooling?

- A 2 x 2 m flat plate solar collector for domestic hot water heating is shown in the figure. The incident solar radiation on the glass cover, which transmits 90% of the incident flux, is 750 W/m2. Water flows through the tubes soldered to the backside of the absorber plate, entering at a temperature of 25°C. The temperature of the glass cover is 27°C, and it radiates heat with an emissivity of 0.92 to the sky at –50°C. Additionally, the glass cover losses heat by convection to air at 20°C flowing over its surface at 30 km/h. Assume that the radiation heat transfer between the absorber plate and glass cover and the heat transfer through the back and sides of the collector is negligible.arrow_forwardCompute declination angle and zenith angle for solar noon on December 21st, 2011 (winter solstice), and June 21st, 2012 (summer solstice) in Hilo, Hawaii (19.73°N).
