One end of rod of length `L` and cross-sectional area `A` is kept in a furance of temperature `T_(1)`. The other end of the rod is kept at at temperature `T_(2)`. The thermal conductivity of the material of the rod is `K` and emissivity of the rod is `e`. It is given that `T_(2)=T_(S)+DeltaT` where `DeltaT lt lt T_(S)`, `T_(S)` being the temperature of the surroundings. If `DeltaT prop (T_(1)-T_(S))`, find the proportionality constant. Consider that heat is lost only by radiation at the end where the temperature of the rod is `T_(2)`.

Answer» From the figure it is clear that emission takes place from the surface at temperture `T_(2)` (circular cross section). Heat conduction and radiation through laeral surface is zero.
Heat conducted through rod is
`Q=(KA(T_(1)-T_(2))Deltat)/(l)`
Energy emitted by the surface of the rod in the same time `Deltat`, is
`E=epsilonsigmaA(T_(2)^(4)-T_(S)^(4))Deltat`
Since rod is at thermal equilibrium
`:. E=Q`
hence, `(KA(T_(1)-T_(2)))/(l)=epsilon sigma A(T_(2)^(4)-T_(S)^(4))Deltat`
`implies T_(1)-T_(2)=(epsilon sigma(T_(2)^(4)-T_(S)^(4)))/(K)`
Here `T_(1)-T_(2)=DeltaT` and `T_(s) gt gt Delta T`
`T_(1)-(DeltaT+T_(S))=(epsilonsigmal)/(K)[(DeltaT+T_(s))^(2)-T_(S)^(4)]`
`T_(1)-(DeltaT+T_(S))=(epsilonsigmal)/(K)xxT_(S)^(4)[(1+(DeltaT)/(T_(S)))^(4)-1]`
`T_(1)-(DeltaT+T_(S))=(epsilonsigmal)/(K)xxT_(S)^(4)[(1+(4DeltaT)/(T_(S)))^(4)-1]`
or `T_(1)-(T_(S)+DeltaT)=(4epsilonsigmal)/(K)xxT_(S)^(3)DeltaT`
or `T-T_(s)=(4epsilonsigmalT_(s)^(3))/(K)DeltaT+DeltaT`
or `T_(1)-T_(s)=((4epsilonsigmalT_(s)^(3))/(K)+1)DeltaT`
`:. The proportionality constant`= `(1+(4epsilonsigmalT_(s)^(3))/(K))`
