 Question 1 (30): A vacuum system, as used in sputtering electrically

Question 1 (30): A vacuum system, as used in sputtering electrically conducting thin films on microcircuits, is comprised of a baseplate maintained by an electrical heater at 300 K and a shroud within the enclosure maintained at 77 K by a liquid-nitrogen coolant loop. The circular baseplate, insulated on the lower side, is 0.3 m in diameter and has an emissivity of 0.25. (a) How much electrical power must be provided to the baseplate heater? (b) At what rate must liquid nitrogen be supplied to the shroud if its heat of vaporization is 125 kJ/kg? (c) To reduce the liquid nitrogen consumption, it is proposed to bond a thin sheet of aluminum foil ( = 0.09) to the baseplate. Will this have the desired effect?
