I figured it out, I forgot to included emittance for the amount of heat it radiates out. Thanks again.

Thank you! Using the temperature of the Earth as the isothermal heat sink for that direction of radiation, I got the correct answer! But, my problem with the polish plate still exists where I am getting a higher temperature than the black plate. The correct answer should be 285.06K. I added...

I am designing a fan blade which is attached to a generator. The unit will be submerged in water. The blade will be attached to the generator by a shaft. The device is semi-enclosed in a cylinder with the top and bottom open. The force of the waves will cause the propellor to spin. My...

Homework Statement Two large thin aluminum plates, the first polished (emittance = 0.05 and the second painted black, are placed horizontally outdoors, where they are cooled by air at 283K. The heat transfer coefficient is 5 W/m^2-K on both the top and bottom. The top is irradiated with 750...
