Heat Transfer fourier's law Problem

In summary, the problem involves a large wall with a thickness of 5cm and a thermal conductivity of 0.65W/mK. The front surface of the wall has an emissivity of 0.8 and experiences radiation exchange with the surroundings and convection heat transfer to the air. The air and surroundings are at 22˚C, and the convection heat transfer coefficient is 20W/m2K. The front surface temperature of the wall is 152˚C and the question is to find the rear surface temperature. The equations needed to solve this problem are Fourier's law, Stefan-Boltzmann law, and an appropriate convection law. It is also important to consider the parallel and series relationships between

i also tried changing the T1 and T2 in the conduction equation:
Qconduction = (0.65 x (T1 - 425)) / 0.05 = 13T1 - 5525
and so the final answer will be 439.5 celcius - which seems to high to me

Let me try to help you get back on the right track.

The three temperatures of interest are:
  • Inside wall temperature 152
  • Outside wall temperature T2
  • Air temperature 20
Which two of these temperatures determine the conductive heat flux?
Which two of these temperatures determine the convective heat flux?
Which two of these temperatures determine the radiative heat flux?

Based on the answers to these three questions, write an equation for each of the three heat fluxes in terms of the appropriate temperatures.

Are the convective and radiative heat fluxes in series or in parallel with one another?
Is the conductive heat flux in series or in parallel with the combination of radiative and convective heat fluxes?
