Problem Description

A ceramic wall(3 cm x 3 cm) is initially at a uniform temperature of 20 C(293 K), and has a thickness of 1.0 cm. It is suddenly exposed to a radiation source on the right side at 1273 . The emissivity and absorbtivity are equal to 0.8.The left side is exposed to room air at 20 C with h=1.92e-4*DT**0.25 Watt/(cm**2*C). Properties of the ceramic are k=3.0e-2 Watt/(cm*C), density= 0.0016 kg/cm**3, and specific heat=800 joule/(kg*C). Determine the temperature distribution in the plate over time.
