To solve for the heat radiated, we will break the problem down using the Stefan-Boltzmann equation, which is based on the radiation constant, the area of the radiating surface, and the temperatures of the surface and the surroundings.

The formula for radiative heat transfer is:

$Q = C \cdot A \cdot \left( T_s^4 - T_r^4 \right)$

Where:

• $C$ is the radiation constant ($0.23 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{BTU}/\text{h} \cdot \text{ft}^2 \cdot \text{°F}^4$),
• $A$ is the radiating surface area (25 ft²),
• $T_s$ is the absolute temperature of the surface (radiating surface temperature, in °F + 460 to convert to Rankine),
• $T_r$ is the absolute room temperature (room temperature in °F + 460 to convert to Rankine).

Let's follow the steps provided in the problem:

1. Calculate the absolute temperatures:

   • Surface temperature $T_s = 750 + 460 = 1210 \, \text{R}$
   • Room temperature $T_r = 75 + 460 = 535 \, \text{R}$

2. Plug values into the formula:

$Q = 0.23 \times 10^{-8} \times 25 \times \left( 1210^4 - 535^4 \right)$

3. Evaluate the fourth powers:

   • $1210^4 = 2.1361 \times 10^{12}$
   • $535^4 = 8.1806 \times 10^{10}$

4. Subtract the fourth powers:

$1210^4 - 535^4 = 2.1361 \times 10^{12} - 8.1806 \times 10^{10} = 2.0543 \times 10^{12}$

5. Multiply by the other terms:

$Q = 0.23 \times 10^{-8} \times 25 \times 2.0543 \times 10^{12}$ $Q = 5.75 \times 10^{-8} \times 2.0543 \times 10^{12} = 1.1807 \times 10^5 \, \text{BTU/h}$

Thus, the heat radiated is approximately $Q = 1.18 \times 10^5 \, \text{BTU/h}$.

1. How would the radiated heat change if the surface area were doubled?
2. What effect does lowering the room temperature have on the radiated heat?
3. How is the radiation constant derived, and does it change with different materials?

Tip: When dealing with heat transfer, always convert temperatures to an absolute scale (like Rankine or Kelvin) for correct calculations.
