KNOWN: Thermal conductivity, thickness and temperature difference across a sheet of rigid
extruded insulation. Cold wall temperature, surroundings temperature, ambient temperature and
emissivity.
FIND: (a) The value of the convection heat transfer coefficient on the cold wall side in units of
W/m2C or W/m2K, and, (b) The cold wall surface temperature for emissivities over the range
0.05 0.95 for a hot wall temperature of T1 = 30 C.

Emissivity
COMMENTS: (1) Note that as the wall emissivity increases, the surface temperature increases
since the surroundings temperature is relatively hot. (2) The IHT code used in part (b) is shown
below. (3) It is a good habit to work in temperature units of kelvins when radiation heat transfer is
included in the solution of the problem.
//Problem 1.59
h = 12.2 //W/m^2K (convection coefficient)
L = 0.02 //m (sheet thickness)
k = 0.029 //W/mK (thermal conductivity)
T1 = 30 + 273 //K (hot wall temperature)
Tsur = 320 //K (surroundings temperature)
sigma = 5.67*10^-8 //W/m^2K^4 (Stefan -Boltzmann constant)
Tinf = 5 + 273 //K (ambient temperature)
e = 0.95 //emissivity
//Equation (1) is
k*(T1-T2)/L = h*(T2-Tinf) + e*sigma*(T2^4 - Tsur^4)
