1(30%). A thin plate black body, insulated at the bottom is placed faced up in a room with wall temperatures of 30 C. Air at 0 C is forced over the plate with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 12 W/m².C. Calculate the plate temperature under steady state condition

Answer :

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Heat transfer coefficient (h) = 12[tex]W/m^{2}.C[/tex]

         Plate temperature ([tex]T_{1}[/tex]) = [tex]30 ^{o}C[/tex] = 303 K

         Steady state temperature ([tex]T_{2}[/tex]) = ?

Hence, formula applied for steady state is as follows.

       [tex](h \times A \times \Delta T)_{air}[/tex] = [tex]\sigma \times A \times (T^{4}_{1} - T^{4}_{2})_{plate}[/tex]

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

       [tex](h \times A \times \Delta T)_{air}[/tex] = [tex]\sigma \times A \times (T^{4}_{1} - T^{4}_{2})_{plate}[/tex]

        [tex]12 \times (T_{2} - 273)[/tex] = [tex]5.67 \times 10^{-8} \times [(30 + 273)^{4} - T^{4}_{2}][/tex]

                  [tex]T_{2}[/tex] = 282.66 K

                              = (282.66 -273)[tex]^{o}C[/tex]      

                              = 9.66 [tex]^{o}C[/tex]      

Thus, we can conclude that the steady state temperature will be 9.66 [tex]^{o}C[/tex].
