n. Looking at the chart below, write an energy balance equation for the atmosphere (gases plus clouds). (Hint: there is some rounding in this chart, so it is possible your balance may appear off by 1 or 2 W m)?

(a) Calculate the sun’s energy output assuming the sun is a black body radiator at 5800K surface temperature, and its diameter is 1.39E+06 km. (b) (And) from the earth orbit diameter calculate the energy actually reaching the top of the earth’s atmosphere, and compare it to the solar constant.
Consider potential radiative energy balance at the surface of the Earth, with the Sun directly overhead in the sky. Assume that the incident solar radiative flux is reduced passing through the atmosphere to 0.85 times the TOA value, and that 20% of this is reflected at the ground. Calculate the temperature that the surface (radiating as a blackbody) would need to be at in order to be in instantaneous radiative energy balance with the solar radiation. What would you say...
On a given day, solar energy strikes the top of the Earth's atmosphere at 346 W·m−2. About 30. percent of this energy is reflected directly back into space. The Earth-atmosphere system absorbs the remaining energy and re-radiates it into space as black-body radiation at 5.672 ✕ 10−8(T/K)4 W·m−2, where T is the temperature. a) Assuming that the arrangement has come to equilibrium, what is the average black-body temperature (in K) of the Earth? b) Calculate the wavelength (in m) at...
Answer all parts except the ones refering to lecture slides. Temperatures on planets. To a good approximation, stars and planets emit their energy like a black body, which means the energy flux (energy per unit area and per unit time) at the solar surface (radius R_s = 7 times 10^8 m) is given by F = sigma_SBT^4, where sigma_SB = 5.67 times 10^8 W m^-2 K^-41 is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. [Remember, energy per unit time is power and it- is...
Problem 1: This is textbook problem 4.51 (page 224) Steam at 1800 lbf/in2 and 1100 °F enters a turbine operating at steady state. As shown in the Figure, 20% of the entering mass flow is extracted at 600 lbf/in2 and 500 °F. The rest of the steam exits as a saturated vapor at 1 lbf/in2 . The turbine develops a power output of 6.8×106 Btu/h. Heat transfer from the turbine to the surroundings occurs at a rate of 5×104 Btu/h....
