A small gray sphere having an emissivity of 0.5 and a surface temperature of 5370C is located in a blackbody enclosure having a temperature of 37°C. Calculate for this system: (a) the net rate of heat transfer by radiation per unit of surface area of the sphere, (b) the radiative thermal conductance in W/K if the surface area of the sphere is 95 cm2 , (c) the thermal resistance for radiation between the sphere and its surroundings, (d) the ratio of thermal resistance for radiation to thermal resistance for convection if the convective heat transfer coefficient between the sphere and its surroundings is 11 W/(m2 K), (e) the total rate of heat transfer from the sphere to the surroundings, and (f) the combined heat transfer coefficient for the sphere.
