Question:

A special surface coating on a square panel that is 5 m by 5 m on a side is cured by placing the panel directly under a radiant heat source having the same dimensions. The heat source is diffuse and gray and operates with a power input of 75 kW. The top surface of the heater, as well as the bottom surface of the panel, may be assumed to be well insulated, and the arrangement exists in a large room with air and wall temperatures of 25°C. The surface coating is diffuse and gray, with an emissivity of 0.30 and an upper temperature limit of 400 K. Neglecting convection effects, what is the minimum spacing that may be maintained between the heater and the panel to ensure that the panel temperature will not exceed 400 K? Allowing for convection effects at the coated surface of the panel what is the minimum spacing?
