An astronaut performing an extra-vehicular activity (space walk) shaded from the Sun is wearing a spacesuit that can be approximated as perfectly white ( e=0 ) except for a 5 cm × 8 cm patch in the form of the astronaut's national flag. The patch has emissivity 0.300. The spacesuit under the patch is 0.500 cm thick, with a thermal conductivity k 0.0600 W/m , and its inner surface is at a temperature of 20.0 . What is the temperature of the patch, and what is the rate of heat loss through it? Assume the patch is so thin that its outer surface is at the same temperature as the outer surface of the spacesuit under it. Also assume the temperature of outer space is 0 K. You will get an equation that is very hand to solve in closed form, so can solve it numerically with a graphing calculator, with software, or even by trial and error with a calculator.
