A solar sail is made of aluminized Mylar having an emissivity of0.03 and reflecting 97% of the light that falls on it. Suppose asail with area 1.10 km2 is oriented so that sunlight fallsperpendicular to its surface with an intensity of 1.40 103 W/m2. Towhat temperature will it warm before it emits as much energy (fromboth sides) by radiation as it absorbs on the sunny side? Assumethe sail is so thin that the temperature is uniform and no energyis emitted from the edges. Take the environment to be 0 K. (s =5.6696 10-8 W/m2·K4)

A flat-plate solar collector is used to heat water by having water flow through tubes attached at the back of the thin solar absorber plate. The absorber plate has a surface area of 2 m2 with emissivity and absorptivity of 0.9. The surface temperature of the absorber is 35oC, and solar radiation is incident on the absorber at 500 W/m2 with a surrounding temperature of 0oC. Convection heat transfer coefficient at the absorber surface is 5 W/m2 K, while the ambient temperature is 25oC. Net heat rate absorbed by the solar collector heats the water from an inlet temperature (Tin) to an outlet temperature (Tout). If the water flow rate is 5g/s with a specific heat of 4.2 kJ/kg K, determine the temperature rise of the water.

Overall, 80% of the energy used by the body must be eliminated as excess 
thermal energy and needs to be dissipated. The mechanisms of 
elimination are radiation, evaporation of sweat (2 430 𝑘𝐽/𝑘𝑔) evaporation 
from the lungs (38 kJ/h), conduction, and convection. A person working 
out in a gym has a metabolic rate of 2 500 kJ/h. His body temperature is 
37°C, and the outside temperature 24°C. Assume the skin has an area of 
2.0 m2 and emissivity of 0.97. 
a) At what rate is his excess thermal energy dissipated by 
radiation? (4 marks)
b) If he eliminates 0.40 kg of perspiration during that hour, at what 
rate is thermal energy dissipated by evaporation of sweat?
c) At what rate is energy eliminated by evaporation from the lungs?
d) At what rate must the remaining excess energy be eliminated 
through conduction and convection? (4 marks)
