The thermal protection system for NASA's Space Shuttle Orbiter was effective due to its exceptional thermal-insulation properties. Calculate the heat flow (per square meter) across a 50-mm-thick ceramic tile with an outer surface temperature of 1200 degrees C and an inner surface temperature of 30 degrees C, given a thermal conductivity of 0.0837 J/(s x m x K).
