Problem

A thin rectangular sheet measuring 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m} by 1.0 m1.0\,\text{m} radiates from both of its large faces. Its surface emissivity is 0.900.90, and it is desired that the sheet emit a total of 3.0 kW3.0\,\text{kW} of thermal power. What temperature must the sheet reach? (Stefan–Boltzmann constant σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2 K−4\sigma = 5.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W}\,\text{m}^{-2}\,\text{K}^{-4}) (a) 410 K410\,\text{K} (b) 590 K590\,\text{K} (c) 490 K490\,\text{K} (d) 510 K510\,\text{K}
