Problem

A furnace wall is held at a uniform temperature of 1200 K1200\,\text{K} and has an emissivity of 0.700.70. What total surface area is required for the wall to radiate 2.5×105 W2.5\times10^{5}\,\text{W} of thermal power? Use σ=5.67×10−8 W m−2K−4\sigma = 5.67\times10^{-8}\,\text{W\,m}^{-2}\text{K}^{-4}.
