A flat plate made of cast iron is exposed to a solar flux of 600 W/m² at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Assume that the entire solar flux is absorbed by the plate. Cast iron has a low-temperature absorptivity of 0.21. Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.669 × 10^-8 W/m²-K⁴. Neglect all other modes of heat transfer except radiation. Under the aforementioned conditions, the radiation equilibrium temperature of the plate is __________ °C (round off to the nearest integer).

The emissive power of a blackbody is $$P.$$ If its absolute temperature is doubled, the emissive power becomes

Consider the radiation heat exchange inside an annulus between two very long concentric cylinders. The radius of the outer cylinder is $${R_0}$$ and that of the inner cylinder is $${R_i}$$ . The radiation view factor of the outer cylinder onto itself is

For an opaque surface, the absorptivity $$\left( \alpha \right),$$ transmissivity $$\left( \tau \right)$$ and reflectivity $$\left( \rho \right)$$ are related by the equation:
