Chapter 2.8, Problem 103P
A thin metal plate is insulated on the back and exposed to solar radiation on the front surface. The exposed surface of the plate has an absorptivity of 0.8 for solar radiation. If solar radiation is incident on the plate at a rate of 450 W/m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 25°C, determine the surface temperature of the plate when the heat loss by convection equals the solar energy absorbed by the plate. Assume the convection heat transfer coefficient to be 50 W/m2·°C, and disregard heat loss by radiation.

A flat plate has one surface insulated and the other exposed to the sun. The exposed surface absorbs solar radiation at a rate of 700 W/m2 and dissipates heat to the surrounding air at 350K. If the emissivity of the surface is 0.9 and the surface heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m2.K, determine the surface temperature of the plate.
The solar radiation incident on the outside surface of an aluminum shading device is 1300 W/m2. Aluminum absorbs 10% of the incident solar energy, and dissipates it by convection from the back surface and by combined convection and radiation from the outside surface. The convection heat transfer coefficient is 10 W/m2·K for both surfaces, and the ambient/surrounding temperature can be taken 20 °C for both convection and radiation. Assuming that the aluminum shade has a uniform temperature, determine the temperature of the aluminum shading device if it is a) Polished, and b) Oxidized.
Only one surface of the plate with a temperature of 400 oC in the direction of heat transfer is covered with an insulation material with a thickness of 55 cm and a radiation emission rate of 0.8. The insulation material is in contact with the room air with a temperature of 40 oC and a heat transfer coefficient of 20 W/m2K. If the surface temperature of the insulation material in contact with the air is 100 oC and the surface temperature of the room walls where the plate is located is 15 oC, calculate the heat flux (W/m2) lost by the plate, assuming the heat transfer is one-dimensional and making the assumptions you deem necessary.
