Question: An electronic device dissipating 50W is attached to the inner surface of an isothermal cubical container that is 120 mm on a side. The container

An electronic device dissipating 50W is attached to the inner surface of an isothermal cubical container that is 120 mm on a side. The container is located in the much larger service bay of the space shuttle, which is evacuated and whose walls are at 150 K. If the outer surface of the container has an emissivity of 0.8 and the thermal resistance between the surface and the device is 0.1 K/W, what are the temperatures of the surface and the device? All surfaces of the container may be assumed to exchange radiation with the service bay, and heat transfer through the container restraint may be neglected.
