Question

Solar radiation heat balance and temperature exercise solution

Answer 1

Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun from a nuclear fusion reaction that creates electromagnetic energy. The spectrum of solar radiation is close to that of a black body with a temperature of about 5800 K. About half of the radiation is in the visible short-wave part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

heat balance. : the distribution of the heat energy supplied to a thermomechanical system (as a steam power plant) among the various drains upon it including both useful output and losses also : an evaluation or record of such distribution.

Body temperature can increase as a result of being in a warm environment or as a result of exercise. During exercise, respiration releases energy in the muscles. When the body temperature is too high, the skin produces sweat, which evaporates from the surface of the skin.
