Correct Answer :

318.6

Solution :

The correct answer is: 318.6

Problem Analysis:
Based on the provided figures, we are analyzing a solid slab of thickness L=0.2 m and thermal conductivity k=10 W/(mK). Under steady-state conditions, the heat conducted through the slab from Surface 1 (at temperature T1) to Surface 2 (at temperature T2=300 K) must balance the heat lost from Surface 2 to the environment via convection and radiation.
The given data points from the image are:
- Slab thickness, L=0.2 m
- Thermal conductivity, k=10 W/(mK)
- Temperature of Surface 2, T2=300 K
- Convective heat transfer coefficient, h=100 W/(m2K)
- Free stream fluid temperature, T=293 K
- Emissivity of Surface 2, ε=0.5
- Surroundings temperature, Tsurr=0 K
- Stefan-Boltzmann constant, σ=5.67×10-8 W/(m2K4)

Energy Balance Equation:
At Surface 2, the energy balance per unit area (heat flux) is given by:
qconduction=qconvection+qradiation
Substituting the physical laws for each mode of heat transfer:
k(T1-T2)L=h(T2-T)+εσ(T24-Tsurr4)

Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. Calculate the convection heat flux:
qconvection=100×(300-293)=100×7=700 W/m2
2. Calculate the radiation heat flux:
qradiation=0.5×5.67×10-8×(3004-04)
qradiation=0.5×5.67×10-8×(8.1×109)=229.635 W/m2
3. Sum the convective and radiative losses to find the total heat flux leaving Surface 2:
qtotal=700+229.635=929.635 W/m2
4. Set the conduction heat flux equal to the total heat flux:
10×(T1-300)0.2=929.635
50×(T1-300)=929.635
T1-300=929.63550=18.5927
T1=318.5927 K

Rounding to one decimal place, we obtain:
T1318.6 K
