Solar flux of 900 W/m2 is incident on the top side of a plate whose surface has a solar absorptivity of 0.9 and an emissivity of 0.1. The air and surroundings are at 17 C and the convection heat transfer coefficient between the plate and air is 20 W/m2 K. Assuming that the bottom side of the plate is insulated, determine the steady-state temperature of the plate.
