Consider a flat-plate solar collector placed on the roof of a house. The temperatures at the inner and outer surfaces of the glass cover are measured to be 33°C and 31°C, respectively. The glass cover has a surface area of 2.5 m2, a thickness of 0.6 cm, and a thermal conductivity of 0.7 W/m∙K. Heat is lost from the outer surface of the cover by convection and radiation with a convection heat transfer coefficient of 10 W/m2∙K and an ambient temperature of 15°C. Determine the fraction of heat lost from the glass cover by radiation.
