AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the net thermal radiation transfer rate for a solid cylinder with specific dimensions and emissivity in a given environment. The initial calculation for the thermal radiation transfer rate P1 was found to be incorrect due to the use of an erroneous formula. The correct approach involves using the temperature difference in the form of (T^4 - Tenv^4). After resolving the issue, the ratio of thermal radiation transfer rates P2/P1 was confirmed to be 2.87. The problem is now considered resolved, highlighting the importance of accurate equations in thermal radiation calculations.

1. A solid cylinder of radius r1 = 2.3 cm, length h1 = 4.2 cm, emissivity 0.88, and temperature 24°C is suspended in an environment of temperature 55°C. (a) What is the cylinder's net thermal radiation transfer rate P1? (b) If the cylinder is stretched until its radius is r2 = 0.52 cm, its net thermal radiation transfer rate becomes P2. What is the ratio P2/P1?
2. P1 = (\sigma) (\epsilon) A1(Tenv4 - T4)

A1 = 2(\pi) r12 + 2 (\pi) r h

3. A1 = 9.393362*10-3m2
P1 = (5.67*10-8)(.88)(9.393362*10-3)((273+55)4-(273+24)4)) = 1.77W
I have (b) .. but for some reason (a) is wrong.. here is answer for (b) \frac{P2}{P1} = 2.87

Ok I just did it in mathmatica .. and it gave the same answer .. If
my intuition is incorrect then the only possible solution would be
that P1 is somehow =(\sigma) (\epsilon) A1((24+273)4) ... but that's not how the question reads
 
I asked a friend he agrees with me.. but are we both wrong? not sure why the answer is considered wrong
 
had another person agree.. anyway I could get someone to review this problem and confirm?
 
any attempts?
 
ok I've resolved the problem. Both the book, and their online website have two distinct wrong equations to use.. The correct one would involve flipping the Tenv^4 with the T^4.. so it would read (T^4 - Tenv^4). So, I dub this problem as resolved in case anyone was interested.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
