Q1: A solar concentrator provides a heat flux of 8000 W/m2 to heat a 10 mm plate on one side. The other side of the plate is exposed to convection at 40 W/m²k at 20°C. The plate material has a density of 800 kg/m3 and specific heat of 500 J/kg K. The initial temperature of the plate is 20°C. Thermal conductivity of the material is 80 W/m°C. (i) Determine the time for the plate to reach 100°C. (ii) Determine the plate temperature after 6 minutes.
