A cubical block of mass 1.0 kg and edge 5.0 cm is heated to 227^0 C. It is kept in an evacuated chamber maintained at 27^0 C. Assuming that the block emits radiation like a blackbody, find the rate at which the temperature of the block will decrease. Specific heat capacity of the material of the block is 400 J kg−1K−1.
Since the cube can be assumend as black body
e = 1, σ=6.0×10−8W/m2−K4
A = 6×25×10−4m2
m = 1 kg, S = 400 J/kg - ∘K
T1=227∘C = 500 K
T2=27∘C = 300 K.
ms=dθdt=Aσe(T41−T42)
dθdt =
1×6×10−8×6×25×10−4[(500)4−(300)4]1×400
= 36×25×544400×10−4
= 1224 ×10−4
= 0.12240∘C/s
= 0.120∘C/s
