The thermal radiative flux from a surface of emissivity = 0.4 is 22.68 kW/m2. The approximate surface temperature (K) is (Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m2.K4) ?

Correct answer: A. 1000

  • A. 1000
  • B. 727
  • C. 800
  • D. 1200

Explanation

From q = εσT⁴, T = [22,680/(0.4 × 5.67 × 10⁻⁸)]¹/⁴, which is approximately 1000 K. The emissivity must be included, so using σT⁴ alone would give an incorrect lower temperature.
