A wet towel (a=75 cm wide, b=1.5 m long) hangs on a cloths line under conditions for which one towel surface receives solar radiation of Q=900 W/m2 . Both towel surfaces are exposed to the atmospheric (sky) and ground radiation of Qsky=200 W/m² and Og=250 W/m², respectively. Under the moderately windy conditions (airflow at a temperature T, = 27 °C, air relative humidity =60%) the convective heat transfer coefficient is OF 20 W/m²-K at both towel surfaces. The wet towel has an emissivity of = 0.96 and the solar absorption coefficient a,=0.65. Determine the towel temperature and the corresponding evaporation rate of moisture from the towel. Assume the air properties at temperature T. = 27 °C.

A wet towel (a=75 cm wide, b=1.5 m long) hangs on a cloths line under conditions for which
one towel surface receives solar radiation of Qs=900 W/m². Both towel surfaces are exposed
to the atmospheric (sky) and ground radiation of Qshy=200 W/m² and Qg=250 W/m²,
respectively. Under the moderately windy conditions (airflow at a temperature T, = 27 °C,
air relative humidity =60%) the convective heat transfer coefficient is o= 20 W/m²-K at
both towel surfaces. The wet towel has an emissivity of = 0.96 and the solar absorption
coefficient a,=0.65. Determine the towel temperature and the corresponding evaporation rate
of moisture from the towel. Assume the air properties at temperature T, = 27 °C.
