Answer

$T_{s}=32.2^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

As the problem says: $Q_{absorbed}=Q_{conv}$ $Q_{absorbed}=\alpha Q_{solar}=0.8*450\frac{W}{m^2}=360\frac{W}{m^2}$ $Q_{conv}=hA\Delta T$ And: $\frac{Q_{conv}}{A}=h\Delta T=360\frac{W}{m^2}$ Solving for $\Delta T$: $\Delta T=\frac{360\frac{W}{m^2}}{h}=\frac{360\frac{W}{m^2}}{50\frac{W}{m^2*^{\circ}C}}=7.2^{\circ}C$ Taking $T_{2}$ as the temperature of the surface and $T_{1}$ as the air temperature:: $\Delta T=T_{2}-T_{1}$ $T_{2}= 7.2^{\circ}C+25^{\circ}C=32.2^{\circ}C$
