A spaceship (consider it to be rectangular) is of size 7 x 4 x 4 (in meters). Its interior is maintained at a comfortable 20C, and its outer surface is at 116.9 K. The surface is aluminum. Calculate the rate of heat loss by radiation into space, if the temperature of outer space is 2.1 K. (This implies that the satellite is in the 'shade', i.e. not exposed to direct sunlight).
Emissivity of Al = 0.17 , Stefan constant = 5.669 x 10-8 W/m2K4
An ideal air conditioner keeps the temperature inside a roomat 21°C when the outside temperature is 32°C. If 4.8 kWof power enters a room through the windows in the form ofdirect radiation from the Sun, how much electrical powerwould be saved if the windows were shaded so only 500 Wenters?
a wall consist of 3.0 cm of exterior wood and 2.0 cm of interior wood spearated by a 15cm layer of polystyrene foam. if the interior is kept at 19 Celsius degree, calculate the outside temperature for which the heat loss through the is 10 W/m2
