Answer:
The temperature of the base of the iron is 6,273 °C
Explanation:
P = heA(T2 - T1)
P is power rating of the iron = 1000 W
h is convective heat transfer coefficient between the base surface and the surrounding air = 20 W/m^2.°C
e is emissivity of the base of the iron = 0.4
A is surface area of the base of the iron = 0.02 m^2
T2 is temperature of the base of the iron
T1 is temperature of the surrounding air = 23 °C
T2 = (1000/20×0.4×0.02) + 23 = (1000/0.16) + 23 = 6,250 + 23 = 6,273 °C
