The roof of a house consists of a 15-cm-thick concrete slab (k = 2 W/m °C)
that is 15 m wide and 20 m long. The convective heat transfer coefficients
on the inner and outer surfaces of the roof are 5 and 12 Wém?°C. Ona clear
winter night, the ambient air is 10°C, while the night sky radiates at an effec-
tive temperature of 100°K. The house and the interior surfaces of the wall
are maintained at a constant temperature of 20°C. The emissivity of both
surfaces of the concrete roof is 0.9. Considering both radiation and convec-
tion heat transfer at the surfaces, determine a) the steady rate of heat transfer
through the roof, and b) the inner surface temperature of the roof:
