Question:

A thin coating, which is applied to long, cylindrical copper rods of 10-mm diameter, is cured by placing the rods horizontally in a large furnace whose walls are maintained at 1300 K. The furnace is filled with nitrogen gas, which is also at 1300 K and at a pressure of 1 atm. The coating is diffuse, and its spectral emissivity has the distribution shown.

(a) What are the emissivity and absorptivity of the coated rods when their temperature is 300 K?

(b) What is the initial rate of change of their temperature?

(d) Estimate the time required for the rods to reach 1000 K.
