Comment on the possible effect of radiation on your answer.arrow_forwardA greenhouse 20m long and 15m wide has a nearly flat roof 3m above the floor level. When the sun is directly overhead the solar flux is 1,000 W/m^2. If the glass roof has an emissivity of 0.9 and the convective losses are 0.8 times the radiation losses, what is the temperature in the greenhouse?arrow_forwardA room of length 5m height 5m and width 5m is heated through the floor by maintaining it at a uniform temperature of 350 K. while side walls are well insulated.
