a) 1 micron to 1 mm thick
b) 2 micron to 2 mm thick
c) 1 micron to 0.5 mm thick
d) 2 micron to 4.57 mm thick
View Answer
Explanation: Gases possess a much small radiating power and all their volumes participate in the radiation.

5 - Question
Consider an enclosure formed by three surfaces having the following values of shape factors, emissivities and temperatures
Surface 1 i.e. curved cylindrical has an emissivity 0.75 and temperature 800 K
Surface 2 i.e. closing disc has an emissivity 0.8 and temperature 700 K
Surface 3 i.e. closing disc has an emissivity 0.8 and temperature 700 K
The closing flat discs are 25 mm in diameter and they have interspacing distance equal to 100 mm. If the shape factor between these two identical discs is 0.05, calculate the net rate of radiant heat flow from the curve surface to each of the closing end surface
a) 1.561 W
b) 2.561 W
c) 3.561 W
d) 4.561 W
View Answer
Explanation: F 21 + F 23 + 1 and A 1 = 0.00785 m2, A2 = 0.000491 m2. Then from reciprocity theorem, F 12 = 0.0594. Q12 = F 12 A 1 σ b (T 14 – T 2 4) = 3.561 W.
6 - Question
