Radiation

1. Consider a cylindrical furnace with ro =H = 1 m, as shown in Fig. The top (surface 1)


and the base (surface 2) of the furnace have emissivities e1= 0.8 and e2= 0.4,
respectively, and are maintained at uniform temperatures T1 = 700 K and T2 = 500 K.
The side surface closely approximates a black-body and is maintained at a temperature
of T3 = 400 K. Determine the net rate of radiation heat transfer at each surface during
steady operation and explain how these surfaces can be maintained at specified
temperatures.

2. A furnace is shaped like a long equilateral triangular duct, as shown in Fig. The width
of each side is 1 m. The base surface has an emissivity of 0.7 and is maintained at a
uniform temperature of 600 K. The heated left-side surface closely approximates a
blackbody at 1000 K. The right-side surface is well insulated. Determine the rate at
which heat must be supplied to the heated side externally per unit length of the duct in
order to maintain these operating conditions

3. Consider a cylindrical enclosure with A1, A2, and A3 representing the internal base,
top, and side surfaces, respectively. Using the length to diameter ratio, K = L/D,
determine (a) the expression for the view factor between the base and the side surface
F13 in terms of K and (b) the value of the view factor F13 for L = D.
4. Two very large parallel plates are maintained at uniform temperatures of T1 = 1000 K
and T2 = 800 K and have emissivities of e1 = e2 = 0.5, respectively. It is desired to
reduce the net rate of radiation heat transfer between the two plates to one-fifth by
placing thin aluminium sheets with an emissivity of 0.1 on both sides between the
plates. Determine the number of sheets that need to be inserted.
5. Two coaxial cylinders of diameters D1 = 0.10 m and D2 = 0.50 m and emissivities e1 =
0.7 and e2 = 0.4 are maintained at uniform temperatures of T1 = 750 K and T2 = 500 K,
respectively. Now a coaxial radiation shield of diameter D3 = 0.20 m and emissivity e3
= 0.2 is placed between the two cylinders. Determine the net rate of radiation heat
transfer between the two cylinders per unit length of the cylinders and compare the
result with that without the shield.
6. A very long furnace is shown in Fig. The furnace is 50 cm x 40 cm in cross-section,
and all surfaces are black. The top and bottom walls are maintained at temperature T1=
T3 = 1200 K, while the side walls are at temperature T2 = T4 = 800 K. Determine the
net radiative heat loss or gain (per unit furnace length) on each surface.

7. A furnace is in the form of a long, triangular duct in which one surface is kept at 1200
K, another surface is insulated, and the third surface is maintained at 500 K. The triangle
is of width W = 1 m on a side. The heated and insulated surfaces have an emissivity of
0.8. The emissivity of the third surface is 0.4. During steady-state operation, at what
rate must energy be supplied to the heated side per unit length of the duct to maintain
its temperature at 1200 K? What is the temperature of the insulated surface?
8. A furnace which is 5 m high, 10 m wide, and 20 m long. The floor of the furnace A1,
acts as a black plane at T1 = 200°C, the left side wall acts as a gray plane, A2, with T2
= 400°C and e2 = 0.4. The two 5 m x 10 m ends act as a single insulated surface A3
and the remaining 10 m x 20 m ceiling and 5 m x 20 m right-side wall act as a second
insulated surface A4. Find the heat flow at the two active surfaces (A1 and A2) and the
temperature of the adiabatic (i.e., insulated) surfaces (A3 and A4).

9. A radiation shield that has the same emissivity e3 on both sides is placed between two
large parallel plates, which are maintained at uniform temperatures of T1 = 650 K and
T2 = 400 K and have emissivities of e1 = 0.6 and e2 = 0.9, respectively. Determine the
emissivity of the radiation shield if the radiation heat transfer between the plates is to
be reduced to 15 percent of that without the radiation shield.
10. A spherical tank of diameter D = 2 m that is filled with liquid nitrogen at 100 K is kept
in an evacuated cubic enclosure whose sides are 3 m long. The emissivities of the
spherical tank and the enclosure are e1 = 0.1 and e2 = 0.8, respectively. If the
temperature of the cubic enclosure is measured to be 240 K, determine the net rate of
radiation heat transfer to the liquid nitrogen.
