Determine heat generation rate and surface temperature


A spherical communication satellite with a diameter of 2.5m is orbiting around the earth. The outer surface of the satellite in space has an emissivity of 0.75 and a solar absorptivity of 1000W/m^2. If the satellite is made of material with an average thermal conductivity of 5W/m K and the midpoint temperature is 0 C determine the heat generation rate and the surface temperature of the satellite.
