Sometimes, you observe one object, and instead of getting one thermal spectrum, you get two! Below is a spectrum taken of a nearby star. Looking at the spectrum, you should see two clear thermal peaks. The one on the left, peaking in the visible range, is from the star. What's causing the other peak?

It turns out that this peak is being produced by a debris disk surrounding this very young star. Debris disks are commonly seen around young stars - they are usually present during planet formation and then eventually dissipate. What temperature is the material in this disk at? Show your work and explain your reasoning clearly.

Hint: Pay attention to the wavelength units!!

Asteel tube (k=50 w/mk) of inner and outer diameter di = 20mm and do=26mm, respectively, is used to transfer heat from hot gases flowing over the tube (h-hot = 200w/m2k) to cold water flowing through the tube (h-cold = 8000 w/m2k). what is the cold-side overall heat transfer coefficient uc? to enhance heat transfer 16 straight fins of rectangular profile are installed longitudinally along the outer surface of the tube. the fins are equally spaced around the circumference of the tube, each having a thickness of 2mm and a length of 15mm. what is the corresponding overall heat transfer coefficient uc? *solve for uc in both cases*
