Question: A space station in outer space ( a long way away from the Sun ) has a total surface area of 5 8 0 m

A space station in outer space (a long way away from the Sun) has a total surface area of 580 m2 with emissivity of 0.62. The temperature of the outside surface is 156 K. The walls are 0.25 m thick with an average thermal conductivity of 0.038 Wm-1K-1. Find the temperature of the inner wall of the space station, assuming that the outside surface radiates into an environment that is very coldessentially at 0.0 K.
