Subject a rectangular plate (0.1 m x 0.01 m) to a prescribed temperature
at its left-hand edge and a prescribed radiation to ambient temperature at its right-hand edge.
Determine the steady state temperature at its right-hand edge.
The
temperature at the plate's left-hand edge is maintained at 1000 K, and radiation to ambient
temperature of 300 K with emissivity of 0.98 is specified at the right-hand edge.
