Question: A leaf has a boundary layer resistance for heat transfer ( both surfaces in parallel ) of 4 0 s m - 1 , and

A leaf has a boundary layer resistance for heat transfer (both surfaces in parallel) of 40sm-1, and a
combined stomatal and boundary layer resistance of 110sm-1. Taking air temperature as 22C and
vapor pressure as 1.0 kPa , set up a spreadsheet model to calculate the rates of sensible and latent
heat transfer, and total heat (sum of sensible and latent) as a function of leaf temperature over the
range of 20-26C. Find graphically the leaf temperature when the net radiation absorption by the
leaf is 300Wm. State all your assumptions.
