Heat loss takes place from a body maintained at a temperature of $400^{\circ} C$ to the surrounding air at $30^{\circ} C$ by convection and to the surrounding surfaces at $30^{\circ} C$ by radiation. The Newton's cooling coefficient is $20 \ W / m^2 \ K$ and the Stefan-Boltzmann constant is $5.67 \times 10^{-8} \ W / m^2 \ K^4$. If the rate of heat loss by convection is equal to the rate of heat loss by radiation, the emissivity of the body surface is

  • A
    $0.35$
  • B
    $0.46$
  • C
    $0.55$
  • D
    $0.66$

$A$ cylinder of radius $R$ made of a material of thermal conductivity $K_1$ is surrounded by a cylindrical shell of inner radius $R$ and outer radius $2R$ made of material of thermal conductivity $K_2$. The two ends of the combined system are maintained at two different temperatures. There is no loss of heat across the cylindrical surface and the system is in steady state. The effective thermal conductivity of the system is

Power radiated by a black body at temperature $T_1$ is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\lambda_1$. If the temperature of the black body is changed from $T_1$ to $T_2$, it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$. The power radiated at $T_2$ is (in $P$)
