Specifically, how can summer be warmer than winter if Earth is farther away from the Sun at that time?arrow_forwardAn asphalt playground is heated in the sun all day; by sundown it reaches a temperature of 45degC. If the asphalt has an emissivity of 0.8, what is the heat flux emitted off the asphalt at night?arrow_forwardFor steady state condition, determine the heat lost by inner lining through shields to the outer lining to keep the temperature of the outside surface of a hollow brick lining of a furnace at 100°C when the temperature of the inside surface of the lining is 500°C. Take the emissivity of brick lining as well as for shield as 0.87. Heat transfer to the surrounding from the outer surface takes place by radiation and convection. The heat transfer coefficient for natural convection is given by ha = 1.44 (ΔT)^0.33 W/m2-K, ta (air temperature) = 25°C. Neglect the heat transfer by conduction and convection between the brick lining.arrow_forward
