6. A cavity in the shape of a frustum of a cone has diameter 30 cm and 60 cm and the height is 80 cm. If the cavity is maintained at temperature of 800 K, determine the heat loss from the cavity when the smaller diameter is at the bottom
a) 6577 W
b) 2367 W
c) 8794 W
d) 3675 W
View Answer
Explanation: Q = E 1 A 1 σ b T 14 [1 – F 11/1 – (1 – E 1) F 11].

b) 55.06 % (decrease)
c) 65.06 % (increase)
d) 75.06 % (decrease)
View Answer
Explanation: Percentage change in heat flow = 6577 – 1640/6577 = 0.7506.
