Determine the surface temperature of the plate


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 0.7 for solar radiation. If solar radiation is incident on the plate at a rate of 700W /m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 10oC , determine the surface temperature of the plate when the heat loss by convection equals the solar energy absorbed by theplate. Take the convection heat transfer coefficient to be 30W /m2 .K , and disregard any heat loss by radiation.
