Hi everyone, I am unsure about how to solve this problem. I believe i have the right equation but I'm confused about how I can find Q/T with the information I am given. Is there another equation I can use?
Assume the steel in the body of an automobile has an emissivity of 0.3 and a
specific heat of 450 J/Kg-degreeC. Take the area of the hood of the
automobile directly exposed to the sun as 3.5 square meters, and its mass
as 24.0 kg. What temperature will the top of the hood reach, assuming it
lost heat by radiating to its surrounding environment, which is at 20 degreesC?
Q/T= eθA(T1^4-T2^4)
θ (Stefan-Boltzmann Constant) = 5.67 x 10^-8
Q/T = (0.30)(5.67x10^-8 w/M2-K4)(3.5M2)[(T1^4-293.15^4 K)
I am searching for T1, anyone know how I can find Q/T? Maybe from another equation but I'm not sure which one.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
