A metal is heated in a furnace where a sensor is kept above the metal surface to read the power radiated (P) by the metal. The sensor has a scale that displayslog2PP0 , whereP0is a constant. When the metal surface is at a temperature of487 °C, the sensor shows a value1. Assume that the emissivity of the metallic surface remains constant. What is the value displayed by the sensor when the temperature of the metal surface is raised to2767 °C?

Answer:
9
Solution:

P=eAσT4whereTis in kelvin
log2eAσ487+2734P0=1.....(i)
log2eAσ2767+2734P0=x......(ii)
(ii) - (i)
log230407604=x-1
x=9
