Electrical conductors, in the form of parallel plates of length L = 40 mm, have one edge

Question:

Electrical conductors, in the form of parallel plates of length L = 40 mm, have one edge mounted to a ceramic insulated base and are spaced a distance w = 10 mm apart. The plates are exposed to large isothermal surroundings at Tsur = 300 K. The conductor (1) and ceramic (2) surfaces are diffuse and gray with emissivities of ?1 = 0.8 and ?2 = 0.6, respectively. For a prescribed operating current in the conductors their temperature is T1 = 500 K.

(a) Determine the electrical power dissipated in a conductor plate per unit length, q, considering only radiation exchange. What is the temperature of the insulated base, T2?

(b) Determine q and Tz when the surfaces experience convection with an airstream at 300 K and a convection coefficient of h = 25 W/m2 ? K.
