Try yourself:A100 W electric bulb was switched on in a 2.5 m × 3 m × 3 m size thermally insulated room having a temperature of 20°C. The room temperature at the end of 24 hours will be
[2006]
Explanation
Heat generated by bulb = 100 × 24 × 60 × 60 Joule.
∴ Heat dissipated = r × V × Cv × (T - 20)

Try yourself:A hollow enclosure is formed between two inf initely long concentric cylinders of radii 1 m and 2 m, respectively. Radiative heat exchange takes place between the inner surface of the larger cylinder (surface-2) and the outer surface of the smaller cylinder (surface-1). The radiating surface are diffuse and the medium in the enclosure is non- participating. The fraction of the thermal radiation leaving the larger surface and striking itself is
