A flat plate made of cast iron is exposed to a solar flux of 600 W/m2 at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Assume that the entire solar flux is absorbed by the plate. Cast iron has a low-temperature absorptivity of 0.21. Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.669 × 10-8 W/m2-K4. Neglect all other modes of heat transfer except radiation. Under the aforementioned conditions, the radiation equilibrium temperature of the plate is __________ °C (round off to the nearest integer).
Consider a rod of uniform thermal conductivity whose one end (x = 0) is insulated and the other end (x = L) is exposed to flow of air at temperature T∞ with convective heat transfer coefficient h. The cylindrical surface of the rod is insulated so that the heat transfer is strictly along the axis of the rod. The rate of internal heat generation per unit volume inside the rod is given as
$\rm \dot q = \cos \frac{2 \pi x}{L}$
The steady-state temperature at the mid-location of the rod is given as TA. What will be the temperature at the same location, if the convective heat transfer coefficient increases to 2h?
Consider a solid slab (thermal conductivity, k = 10 W∙m-1∙K-1) with thickness 0.2 m and of infinite extent in the other two directions as shown in the figure. Surface 2, at 300 K, is exposed to a fluid flow at a free stream temperature (T∞) of 293 K, with a convective heat transfer coefficient (h) of 100 W∙m-2∙K-1. Surface 2 is opaque, diffuse and gray with an emissivity (ε) of 0.5 and exchanges heat by radiation with very large surroundings at 0 K. Radiative heat transfer inside the solid slab is neglected. The Stefan-Boltzmann constant is 5.67 × 10-8 W∙m-2∙K-4. The temperature T1 of Surface 1 of the slab, under steady-state conditions, is _________ K (round off to the nearest integer).
