A 1.2 m wide and 5.1 m long solar collector is mounted to a roof. Now the average surface temperature of the solar collector is measured to be 50 oC. The effective surrounding sky temperature is 8 oC. If the emissivity of the collector is 0.88, determine the rate of heat transfer from the collector to the surroundings due to radiation.
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.
