In a manufacturing process, long aluminum rods of square cross section with d = 25 mm are cooled from an initial temperature of Ti = 400°C. Which configuration in the sketch should be used to minimize the time needed for the rods to reach a safe‐to‐handle temperature of 60°C when exposed to air in cross flow at V = 8 m/s, T[infinity] = 30°C? What is the required cooling time for the preferred configuration? The emissivity of the rods is ε = 0.10 and the surroundings temperature is Tsur = 20°C.

The filament of an incandescent lamp has a temperature of 2000k. calculate the fraction of radiation emitted in the visible light band if the filament is approximated as blackbody

Consider a large isothermal enclosure that is maintained at a uniform temperature of 2000 k. calculate the emissive power of the radiation that emerges from a small aperture on the enclosure surface. what is the wavelength ? , below which 10% of the emission is concentrated? what is the wavelength ? 2 above which 10% of the emission is concentrated? determine the wavelength at which maximum spectral emissive power occurs. what is the irradiation incident on a small object placed inside the enclosure?
