Liana Conner · Answer 1

The rate of energy absorbed per unit time is 3500W.

Explanation:

From the question, we were given the following parameters;

Plane, opaque, gray, diffuse surface

â = 0.7

Surface area, A = 0.5m²

Incoming radiant energy, G = 10000w/m²

T = 500°C

Rate of energy absorbed is âAG;

âAG = 0.7 * 0.5 * 10000

âAG = 3500W.

The energy absorbed is measured in watts and denoted by the symbol W.
