An engineered passive radiative cooler coating is placed under the Sun. Provided the following simplified spectral emissivity/absorptivity plot below, calculate the total diffuse emissivity and absorptivity if its uniform surface temperature is a Ts=20°C. Assume the Sun's irradiation onk Earth is Gsun=1380 W/m2 and its blackbody temperature is Tsun= 5800K. Ignore the radiation from the atmosphere (surroundings).

Using a polynomial equation solver, determine the steady-state surface temperature (Ts) of the passive radiative cooler below that is exposed to a windy convective enviroment h=40 W/m2*K and T∞= 25°C. The surrounding atmosphere is fixed at Tsur= 10°C. Set up the energy balance/conservation equation.
