A flat plate made of cast iron is exposed to a solar flux of 600 W/m² at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Assume that the entire solar flux is absorbed by the plate. Cast iron has a low-temperature absorptivity of 0.21. Use Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.669 × 10^-8 W/m²-K⁴. Neglect all other modes of heat transfer except radiation. Under the aforementioned conditions, the radiation equilibrium temperature of the plate is __________ °C (round off to the nearest integer).
