Question

The top surface of the RV moving at a velocity of 65 km/h is 2.4 m wide and 9 m long.The top surface is absorbing solar radiation at a rate

of 800 W/m2, and the temperature of the ambient air is 40°C. If the emissivity of the top surface is 0.86, (a) determine the equilibrium temperature of the top surface of the RV. Neglect any conduction heat transfer term. (15 Points) (b) Will the surface temperature value be larger or smaller than the value you find in part (a) if you include the conduction heat transfer in your calculations? Please state your reasons clearly. (5 Points)
