A flat roof is insulated on the back and exposed to solar radiation at the front surface as shown
diagram. The exposed front surface of the roof area has an absorptivity of 0.8 for solar radiation. If so
radiation is incident on the roof front surface at a rate of 750 W/m² and the surrounding air temperat
is 21 °C, determine the front surface temperature of the roof when the heat loss by convection a
radiation equals the solar energy absorbed by the roof front surface. Assume the combined convect
and radiation heat transfer coefficient to be 44 W/m²°C.
