The electrical energy entering is converted into photons at the resistive element. Some are optical spectrum and escape. Some are IR and heat the glass globe. The glass globe re-emits both inside and outside; to the outside the air is heated and convected away.<br /><br />And yet after warming up to equilibrium the light globe grows no warmer and the resistive element does not keep growing warmer.<br /><br />This is similar to the main topic of this thread.David B.

Emissions from a point on either body do ...Ta = Tb<br /><br />Emissions from a point on either body do not proceed perpendicular to a tangent with the surface, but equally in all directions. So for any internal point on the shell B, it receives an equal amount of energy from each outer point on the sphere A which is above its horizon. For each ray from an internal point on B that does not intersect with A, it intersects with another point on B.<br /><br />Ignore conduction. It is then still the case that the temperature of each internal point on B is the same as of every other internal point on B for they all have the same energy balance. Therefore we can ignore all rays not intersecting with A for the energy balance of any given internal point on B, for there is no net energy exchange on any such ray. It follows that any such internal point will increase in temperature until the energy it emits along each ray intersecting with A equals the energy it receives along that ray, ie, until it is the same temperature as the surface of A.Tom Curtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952819493952635540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-8751768232267185912012-04-07T12:23:15.360-04:002012-04-07T12:23:15.360-04:00I'm not sure what is the point of this exercis...I'm not sure what is the point of this exercise, but the wrong-headed responses are quite illuminating.<br /><br />-MOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-87715354396681702672012-04-07T07:45:15.887-04:002012-04-07T07:45:15.887-04:00The problem probably is that not all of the power ...The problem probably is that not all of the power radiated by the outer shell is absorbed by the inner sphere. Rather, just by thinking about the geometry, you note that part of the power radiated by the outer shell is absorbed by (a different part of) the outer shell itself. Now, someone just check that the equilibrium temperature solution is really the solution here. This situation should change with the radiation to vacuum present when the problem becomes a nonequilibrium one.<br /><br />Speedy GonzalesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-52306332568979939002012-04-07T06:45:13.242-04:002012-04-07T06:45:13.242-04:00Andrew, Eli's description of the problem is co...Andrew, Eli's description of the problem is contradictory. In the text he initially talks about internal heating, but in his equations he doesn't have any. Since he doesn't have any way for energy to leave the system, he can't even have an equilibrium temperature if there is constant energy input.Thomasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-12117561052918553602012-04-07T06:29:48.891-04:002012-04-07T06:29:48.891-04:00Thomas
