A black sphere of diameter L is enclosed (without touching) inside a black cube of side L, with vacuum in between. The sphere is at temperature T1 and the cube at T2. What is the net rate of radiative heat exchange between them?

  1. sigma*pi*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴)
  2. sigma*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴)
  3. 6*sigma*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴)
  4. 4*sigma*pi*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴)

Correct answer: sigma*pi*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴)

Solution

Net exchange = sigma * A_sphere * (T1⁴ - T2⁴), and the sphere's area is pi*L², giving sigma*pi*L²*(T1⁴ - T2⁴).
