Heating a solid by solar radiation

The solution is developed for the differential equation that describes the time-temperature relationship of a solid of infinite conductivity that is being heated by solar radiation and is simultaneously losing heat by convection and radiation to the surroundings. The solution is given in terms of th...

Description
Summary:The solution is developed for the differential equation that describes the time-temperature relationship of a solid of infinite conductivity that is being heated by solar radiation and is simultaneously losing heat by convection and radiation to the surroundings. The solution is given in terms of the parameters of the first order, nonlinear, first-degree differential equation and the real roots of a fourth-degree polynomial that occur in the differential equation.
