Homework Statement
A vertical steam pipe of diameter 8 cm and emissivity e=0.8 has it's surface at 950C. The surrounding air and the temperature of the room and things in it are at 270C.
What is the heat emission rate H from the pipe, for meter length, by radiation?
Homework Equations
Stefan's law: [itex]R=e\sigma T^4[/itex]
[tex]\sigma=5.672\times 10^{-8}\left[Watt/m^2\right][/tex]
[tex]1\left[Calorie\right]=4.186\left[Joule\right][/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]R=0.8\cdot 5.672\times10^{-8}\left(373^4-300^4\right)=511\left[Watt/m^2\right][/tex]
[tex]H=511\cdot \pi \cdot 0.08\cdot 1=128\left[Watt/m\right][/tex]
[tex]128\left[Watt\right]\div 4.186=30.6\left[Calorie/Sec/m\right][/tex]
The answer, according to the book, is [itex]29\left[Calorie/Sec/m\right][/itex]
