Question: (35 points) A horizontal solid plate has simultaneous conduction, convection, and radiation modes of heat transfer. On the top side of the plate, air

(35 points) A horizontal solid plate has simultaneous conduction, convection, and radiation modes of heat transfer. On the top side of the plate, air is flowing at Too,air = 260C with htop = 40 W/mK. Additionally, the top of the plate is irradiated with G = 1450 W/m, and 435 W/m is reflected from the top surface. On the bottom of the plate, water flows adjacent to the bottom surface of the plate and is at a bulk temperature of T,w = 22C. The plate has thickness L = 21 mm and thermal conductivity k = 25 W/mK. At steady-state, the top and bottom of the plate have constant surface temperatures T = 43C and T = 35C, respectively. The plate is an opaque medium and a diffuse emitter. Evaluate the system at steady state. Heat generation is negligible in the plate. Assume 1-D conduction along the thickness of the plate.
