Thermal emission from forehead. Noncontact thermom- eters are used to quickly measure the temperature of a person, to monitor for fever from an infection. They measure the power of the radiation from a surface, usually the forehead, in the infrared range, which is just outside the visible light range. Skin has an emissivity & = 0.97. What is the total power (infrared and vis- ible) of the radiation per unit area when the temperature is (a) 97.0°F (a common early morning temper- ature), (b) 99.0°F (a common late afternoon temperature), and (c) 103°F (a temperature indicating infection)? 36.8

The total rate at which power is used by humans worldwideis approximately 15 TW (terawatts). The solar flux averagedover the sunlit half of Earth is 680 W>m2 (assumingno clouds). The area of Earth’s disc as seen from the Sun is1.28 * 1014 m2. The surface area of Earth is approximately197,000,000 square miles. How much of Earth’s surfacewould we need to cover with solar energy collectors to powerthe planet for use by all humans? Assume that the solar energycollectors can convert only 10% of the available sunlightinto useful power.
A lightbulb works with a filament of 100 µm diameter and 30 cmlength of tungsten. You apply a voltage of 12 V. Compute theemitted total power assuming that convection can be neglected. Whatis the resulting filament temperature if the emissivity was 0.7?
A thin, square steel plate, 10 cm on a side, is heated in a blacksmith’s forge to 800OC If theemissivity is 0.60, what is the total rate of radiation of energy from the plate?
2.A solar collector with an area of 1.5 m2 is installed on the rooftop of a house. Assume that the radiative encrgy amiving from the sun is 1000 Wm. The collector reflecis 10% of the enengy arriving on is surfice. Also, the collector is not perfectly insulated, and losses occur The collector has a heat transfer coefficient h of 2 Wmx The side arcas of the collector are assumed to be negligible. The ambient temperature is 20 °C and the collector is assumed to be at a temperature of 50 "c. Consider that this temperature is constant throughout the whole collector The collector is assumed to behave like a black body. a) What is the power output of the collector? b) What percentage of the total losses is caused by radiation?
A digital system has been developed to measure temperatures in therange -20˚C to 100˚C. If the accuracy of the system is such that themaximum number of bits that it can represent is 10 bits, and the actualtemperature being read is 37˚C, what is the closest possible value thatthe system could represent? Interprete your results.
(a) Deter-nine the power of radiation from the Sun by noting that the intensity of the radiation at the distance of Earth is 1370 W/m2. Hint: That intensity will be found everywhere on a spherical surface with radius equal to that of Earth's orbit. (b) Assuring that the Sun's temperature is 5780 K and that its emissivity is 1, find its radius.
A 1.28-kg sample of water at 10.0 is in a calorimeter. You drop a piece of steel with a mass of 0.385 kg at 215 into it. After the sizzling subsides, what is the final equilibrium temperature? (Make the reasonable assumptions that any steam produced condenses into liquid water during the process of equilibration and that the evaporation and condensation don't affect the outcome, as we'll see in the next section.)
