The emissivity of galvanized steel sheet, a common roofing material, is ε = 0.13 at temperatures around 300 K, while its absorptivity for solar irradiation is αS = 0.65. Find the temperature of a roof constructed of the material on a day when GS = 750 W/m 2 , T[infinity] = 16°C, and h = 7 W/m 2 · K. Assume the bottom surface of the steel is insulated.

759.99W/m²

Explanation:

Question: If the temperature of the sheet is 77C,what is the incident solar radiation on aday with Tinf= Tsurr= 16°C?

Given

Energy Equation of the Gas

αs * Gs * A + h * A * (T inf - Tg) + εσA (Tsurr⁴- Tg⁴) = 0

Where σ= 5.67 *10^-8 W/m²K⁴ (Stefan-Boltzmann constant)

ε = 0.13 (Emisivity)

αs = 0.65 (Absorptivity for solar radiation)

h = 7W/m²K⁴

Tg = 77 + 273.15K = 350.15K

T inf = 16 + 273.15 = 288.15K

T surr= T inf = 288.15

Substitute the above values in the Gas Equation, we have

0.65 * Gs * A + 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) + 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴) = 0

0.65 * Gs * A = - 7 * A * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * A * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

A cancels out, so we are left with

0.65 * Gs = - 7 * (288.15 - 350.15) - 0.13 * 5.67 * 10^-8 * (288.15⁴ - 350.15⁴)

0.65Gs = 434 - 0.7372 * 10^-8(−8,137,940,481.697)

0.65Gs = 434 + 0.7372 * 81.37940481697

0.65Gs = 493.992897231070284

Gs = 493.992897231070284/0.65

Gs = 759.9890726631850

Gs = 759.99W/m² Approximated

x+2 because it just doubles hon so the pattern can actually tell you the expression.

so for example,

if x=2 then 2+2 is 4

if x=4 then 4+4 is 8

and so on and so forth.

i really hope that this makes sense and you out in a way hon: )
