Solar radiation is incident on the front surface of athin plate with direct and diffuse components of 300 and 250W/m2, respectively. The direct radiation makes a 30° anglewith the normal of the surface. The plate surfaces have a solarabsorptivity of 0.63 and an emissivity of 0.93. The air temperatureis 5°C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is20 W/m2·K. The effective sky temperature for the front surfaceis -33°C while the surrounding surfaces are at 5°C forthe back surface. Determine the equilibrium temperature ofthe plate.

Question

Solar radiation is incident on the front surface of a
thin plate with direct and diffuse components of 300 and 250
W/m2, respectively. The direct radiation makes a 30° angle
with the normal of the surface. The plate surfaces have a solar
absorptivity of 0.63 and an emissivity of 0.93. The air temperature
is 5°C and the convection heat transfer coefficient is
20 W/m2·K. The effective sky temperature for the front surface
is -33°C while the surrounding surfaces are at 5°C for
the back surface. Determine the equilibrium temperature of
the plate.
