Objective
To determine the Stefan Boltzman constant for radiation heat transfer.

Diameter of test disc(d) = 20mm
Thickness of disc = 15mm
Mass of test disc(m) = 0.5g
Emissivity of Hemisphere = 0.072
Specific heat of copper = 380kJ/kgk
Emissivity of copper disc = 0.072

Calculation
$$\frac{d_T}{d_t}= 0.11K/s$$
$$Q=m.C_p.(\frac{d_T}{d_t})$$
$$Q =$$
$$W$$
Calculation
$$σ = |{\frac{m.C_p.(\frac{d_T}{d_t})}{A(T_{avg}^4 - T_d^4)}}|$$
$$Td = Disc \space Temperature = 40.2°C$$
$$σ = $$
$$\times 10^{-8}W/m^2k^4$$
