A wood burning stove is box shaped with a height of 30.7”, width 26.25” and depth 25.5”. The front surface is glass (Ԑ= 0.9) and the other surfaces are cast iron (Ԑ= 0.7). The fire keeps the stove surface at a constant 202 °C.
a.Calculate the rate at which the stove’s one glass surface (30.7” by 26.25”) radiates heat into the surrounding space.
b.Calculate the rate at which the cast iron sides radiate heat into the surrounding space. Add this to your answer to part a) to determine the total rate of radiation into the surrounding space. Assume the stove is raised off the floor so the bottom radiates.
c. If the surrounding temperature is 22 °C, find the net rate of radiative heat transfer from the wood stove to the surroundings
Rate of heat radiated is
a)
Area of glass surface is
For glass ,
Temperature
Rate of heat radiated by glass is
b)
For cast iron
Areas of 5 cast iron surfaces are ,
Rate of heat radiated by cast iron is
c)
Surrounding temperature is
