Question: ( 3 0 ) Consider a 1 1 m flat, square horizontal plate embedded in an insulating material and exposed to air at 1 0

(30) Consider a 11m flat, square horizontal plate embedded in an insulating material and exposed
to air at 10C as shown in the figure. The plate is electrically heated to maintain its exposed surface
at 100C. The bottom surface and the edges of the plate are insulated, while the upper surface is
also exposed to Solar irradiation of 500Wm2. The "Reflectivity " of this opaque plate is given in
the following figure. The radiation temperature of the environment is also TRad-env=10C
a. What is the absorption rate of the solar radiation on the plate? Wm2
b. What is the net radiative heat exchange rate between the plate and the environment?
c. For quiescent/still air conditions, find the hconv and estimate the power required Pelec in
Watts to maintain the surface temperature at 100C.
d. Now, consider turbulent wind blowing over the surface with a free stream air velocity of
10.0ms blowing "from one of the sides (figure). Find the hconv and calculate the "Power"
required to maintain the same temperature of 100C over the surface.
