Consider a horizontal semi-transparent plate at a temperature 360 K that is irradiated from above and below. Air at [infinity] 310 K flows over both sides of the plate with a convective coefficient, 45 W/m2·K. The absorptivity of the plate is 0.4. If the radiosity is 4500 W/m2, find the irradiation, in W/m2, and emissivity of the plate. Is the plate diffuse-gray?

Answer:

[tex]G=6750\ W.m^2[/tex] is the irradiation

[tex]\epsilon=0.4725[/tex]

No, it is not a grey body because we don't have its transmissivity is not zero.

Explanation:

Given that:

Temperature of air, [tex]T_{\infty}=310\ K[/tex]

temperature of plate, [tex]T_s=360\ K[/tex]

convective heat transfer coefficient, [tex]h=45\ W.m^{-2}.K^{-1}[/tex]

absorptivity of plate, [tex]\alpha=0.4[/tex]

radiosity of the plate, [tex]J=4500\ W.m^{-2}[/tex]

From the energy balance eq. :

[tex]E_{in}=E_{out}[/tex]

since two surfaces are involved

[tex]2G=2J+2q_{conv}[/tex]

[tex]G=J+q_{conv}[/tex]

where

[tex]q_{conv}=[/tex] heat transfer per unit area due to convection

[tex]G=[/tex] irradiation  per unit area

[tex]G=J+h.\Delta T[/tex]

[tex]G=4500+45\times (360-310)[/tex]

[tex]G=6750\ W.m^2[/tex] is the irradiation

Since radiosity includes transmissivity, reflectivity and emissivity.

[tex]J=G.\tau+G.\rho+E[/tex]

[tex]J=G.\tau+G.\rho+\epsilon\times \sigma\times T^{4}[/tex]

where:

[tex]\tau=[/tex] transmissivity

[tex]\rho=[/tex] reflectivity

[tex]\epsilon=[/tex] emissivity

Since the absorptivity of the plate is 0.4 and the plate is semitransparent so the transmissivity and reflectivity = 0.3 each.

[tex]4500=0.3\times 6750+0.3\times 6750+\epsilon\times 5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 360^4[/tex]

[tex]\epsilon=0.4725[/tex]

No, it is not a grey body because we don't have its transmissivity is not zero.
