Homework Statement
the problem is one of understanding. if heat is incident on a surface raising the temperature to some number then conducts through the solid to the other side how much heat energy is actually at the other side?? i understand the temperatures will be different and that heat and temperature aren't the same thing but how could one calculate heat energy at the other side?
Homework Equations
i suppose the conduction equation Q = ((lambda*c.s.a)/length)*delta T)
q in equals a fraction of q out
The Attempt at a Solution
if i use the solar constant on the side a spacecraft around Mars the temperatuere is around 30 degrees C i understand the temperature on the other side will be less and i know the incoming radiation so can work it out, but how much heat energy will be on the other side?
cheers all, this is really playing on my mind
