    T = (P / e S A) ^ (1/4)

    P = 38 kW = 38,000 W

    e = 1

    S (sigma) = 5.67 * 10^ (-8)

    A = 2 r² π + 2 r π h = 2 * (0.075) ² * 3.14 + 2 * 0.075 * 3.14 * 0.68

    A = 0.355605 m²

    T = (38,000 / (1 * 5.67 * 10^ (-8) * 0.355605)) ^ (1/4) =

    = (3.8 * 10^ (12) / 2.0162803) ^ (1/4) =

    = 1.172 * 10^3 = 1,172 K
