1-105 A 1000-W iron is left on the iron board with its base exposed to the air at 20°C. The
temperature of the base of the iron is to be determined in steady operation.
Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The thermal properties of the iron base and
the convection heat transfer coefficient are constant and uniform. 3 The temperature of the
surrounding surfaces is the same as the temperature of the surrounding air.
Properties The emissivity of the base surface is given to be  = 0.6.
Analysis At steady conditions, the 1000 W energy supplied to the iron will be dissipated to the
surroundings by convection and radiation heat transfer. Therefore,
Q total  Q conv  Q rad  1000 W
where
Q conv  hAs T  (35 W/m 2  K)(0.02 m 2 )(Ts  293 K)  0.7 (Ts  293 K) W
and
Q rad   As (Ts4  To4 )  0.6(0.02 m 2 )(5.67  10 8 W/m 2  K 4 )[Ts4  (293 K) 4 ]
 0.06804  10 8 [Ts4  (293 K) 4 ] W
Substituting,
1000 W  0.7(Ts  293 K)  0.0680410 8 [Ts4  (293 K) 4 ]
Solving by trial and error gives
Ts  947 K  674 C
Discussion We note that the iron will dissipate all the
energy it receives by convection and radiation when its
surface temperature reaches 947 K.
