Discuss the below in detail:
Q: A spherical communications satellite 2 m in diameter is placed in orbit around the earth. The satellite generates 1000 W of internal power from a small nuclear generator. If the surface of the satellite has an emittance of 0.3 and is shaded from solar radiation by the earth, estimate the surface temperature.
GIVEN
Spherical satellite
Diameter (D) = 2 m
Heat generation = 1000 W
Emittance (e) = 0.3
ASSUMPTIONS
The satellite radiates to space which behaves as a blackbody enclosure at 0 K
The system is in steadystate
