Thanks.
I used the example on page 577. I assumed no wind so the h value is 0, alpha for white = .26, e for white =.9. sky temp = 60 deg C, qsolar = 1120 w/m^2.
Calculated 93 deg C. Sounds right?
thanks
Surface area of Box is 30 x 8 x 8ft, contains helium.
Assume worst case, so no wind and direct sunlight-no shade.
Box is stored outside at 110F, relative humidity 70%-worst case.
Use stainless-301, assume 0.5 emissivity.
I need the formulas and source to change variables and compute the...
Assuming worst case; the military 99-percentile, the standard value is 1120 W/m^2. Surface is painted white so, the radiation absorpity is 0.14. What is the temperature increase on the surface? Assuming the object is at ambient temperature.
