A radiometer has two square vanes (1.0 cm by 1.0 cm), attached to a light horizontal cross arm, and pivoted about a vertical axis through the center, as shown in the figure

The center of each vane is 6.0 cm from the axis. One vane is silvered and it reflects all radiant energy incident upon it. The other vane is blackened and it absorbs all incident radiant energy. An electromagnetic wave with an intensity of 0.30 kW/m2 is incident normally upon the vanes. What is the torque due to radiation pressure on the vane assembly about the vertical axis?

The experimental data shown tabulated were obtained by passing n-butyl alcohol at a bulk temperature of 15°C over a heated flat plate (0.3-m-long, 0.9-m-wide, surface temperature of 60°C). Correlate the experimental data using appropriate dimensionless numbers and compare the line which best fits the data with Equation 5.38.
