Q.
A very small hole in an electric furnace is used for heating metals. The hole nearly acts as a black body. The area of the hole is 200mm2 . To keep a metal at 727∘C , heat energy flowing through this hole per sec, in joules is (σ=5.67×10−8Wm−2K−4)
By Stefan's law
If the absolute temperature of a black body is T. then the energy E emitted per second per unit surface area of the body E∝T4 E=σ⋅AT4
Given, σ=5.67×10−8W/m2K4 T=727+273=1000K A=200×10−6m E=5.67×10−8×(200×10−6)×(1000)4 =5.67×2×10−12×1012 =11.34J/s
