: 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 700 W/m2 and the surrounding air temperature is 10°C, determine the surface temperature of the plate when the heat loss by convection equals the solar energy absorbed by the plate. Take the convection heat transfer coefficient to be 30 W/m2 - °C, and disregard any heat loss by radiation.

Consider heat loss through the two walls of a house on a winter night. The walls are identical, except that one of them has a tightly fit glass window. Through which wall will the house lose more heat? Explain.
The door of an oven in the kitchen of a house is 0.5 m high and 0.7 m wide. When the oven is operating, the outside temperature of the door reaches 32°C. Calculate the heat transfer from the oven door towards the room at 22°C, taking into account the effects of radiation. The emissivity of the oven door is 1 and the walls of the kitchen are at 22°C. (σ = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m 2K4 , g = 9.81 m/s2 ) NOTE: More precise values for weather characteristics can be obtained from resources on the internet. Also indicate the source you received.
The inside surface of an insulation layer is maintained at 350°C and the outside surface dissipates heat by convection and radiation to air and wall, respectively. The temperatures of air and wall are 15 °C. The insulation layer has a thickness of 10 cm and a thermal conductivity of 15 W/m.K. What is the value of the heat transfer coefficient at the outside surface of the layer, if the temperature at the outside surface should not exceed 225 °C?

The wall of an oven in an industrial plant, made of fire brick (k = 0.71 W/m/K) has thickness of L = 15 cm. The oven is exposed to air at 28oC and the surfaces of the far surroundings are at 20oC. If the temperature of the outer surface of the wall is 92oC and the heat transfer coefficient and emissivity are 20 W/(m^2*K) and 0.8 respectively, determine the temperature of the inner surface of the wall.
A horizontal steam pipe with an outer surface temperature of 98°C and an outer diameter of 8 cm is covered with a 3 cm thick insulating layer with a surface emissivity of 0.7. The surface temperature of the insulation is 50°C, and the pipe is placed in a 15°C room with atmospheric still air at the same temperature. Calculate: a) Total heat loss from the 12 m length of pipe. b) Thermal conductivity of insulator.
