A flat roof is modeled as a flat plate insulated on the bottom and placed in the sunlight. If the radiant heat that the roof receives from the sun is 600 W/m2 , the convection heat transfer coefficient between the roof and the air is 12 W/(m2 K), and the air temperature is 27°C, determine the roof temperature for the following two cases: (a) Radiative heat loss to space is negligible. (b) The roof is black (? = 1.0) and radiates to space, which is assumed to be a black-body at 0 K.

ASSUMPTIONS
- Steady state prevails
- No heat is lost from the bottom of the plate
