<strong>Chapter</strong> <strong>11</strong> Fundamentals of Thermal Radiation<strong>11</strong>-45 The variations of emissivity of two surfaces are given. The average emissivity, absorptivity, andreflectivity of each surface are to be determined at the given temperature.Analysis For the first surface:1T ( 3 m)(3000 K) = 9000 mK f 0890029 .1The average emissivity of this surface is(T) 1 f (1 f (0.2)(0.890029) (0.9)(1 0.890029) 0.281 21)The absorptivity and reflectivity are determined from Kirchhoff’s law 0.28(at 3000K) 1 1 10.28 0.72For the second surface:1T ( 3 m)(3000 K) = 9000 mK f 0890029 .The average emissivity of this surface is1 0.80.230.90.1, mThen,(T) 1 f (1 f (0.8)(0.890029) (0.1)(1 0.890029) 0.72 1 20.721 1 1 10.72 0.28)(at 3000K)Discussion The second surface is more suitable to serve as a solar absorber since its absorptivity for shortwavelength radiation (typical of radiation emitted by a high-temperature source such as the sun) is high,and its emissivity for long wavelength radiation (typical of emitted radiation from the absorber plate) islow.<strong>11</strong>-21
