Question: Problem 2 ( a ) The total solar irradiation incident on the surface of a vertical wall of a building located in the city described

Problem 2
(a) The total solar irradiation incident on the surface of a vertical wall of a building located in the city described in Problem 1 at 6:00 p.m.(hour 18) on a particular day is 120Btuhr-ft2. The solar absorptivity of the external surface of the roof of the building at that time is 0.8. The convective heat transfer coefficient is 3Btuhr-ft2-F. Calculate the effective temperature of the outdoor air at 6:00 p.m.(hour 18).
(b) It is assumed that the value of the total solar irradiation incident on this horizontal roof for each hour is greater than that for the previous hour by 1Btuhr-ft2. Generate, and show a table that contains both the total solar irradiation incident on the surface and the effective temperature of the outdoor air for the 24-hr day for this city. Note: For this (b) part of the problem, you are required to show only this table.
