A laser beam sends a uniform radiation beam towards the hemispherical opening in a solid housing with dimensions as shown. The surface of the cavity is black and essentially insulated from the surrounding housing material. The hemispherical cavity is a thin-walled metal with a black surface. The temperature of the housing as well as that of the surroundings is 25°C. Determine the radiant flux of the laser beam, G0 [W/m2], if a thermocouple located on the hemispherical surface indicates a temperature of 10°C.


GIVEN
• Laser beam sending uniform radiation beam towards the hemispherical opening.
• Temperature of housing and surrounding (T?)= 250C.
• Temperature difference on thermocouple in hemispherical surface (?Tc) = 100C.
FIND
• Radiant flux of the laser beam.
ASSUMPTIONS
• Cavity surface is black and perfectly insulated from its mounting material.
• Negligible convection heat transfer from cavity surface.
• Surroundings are large, isothermal.
