Solar radiation at 600 W/m2 is absorbed by a black roof inclined at 30°C as shown. If the underside of the roof is well insulated, estimate the maximum roof temperature in Tinf= 20°C air.
GIVEN
• Inclined roof, well insulated on the underside
• Incline angle (?) = 30 degrees
• Air temperature = 20°C
• Solar radiation absorbed (qs) = 600 W/m2
FIND
• The maximum roof temperature
ASSUMPTIONS
• The roof behaves as a black body (? = 1.0)
• The sky behaves as a black body at 0 K
SKETCH
PROPERTIES AND CONSTANTS
