Tutorial CH2043 Radiation Heat Transfer
QUESTIONS
Determine the average emissivity of the surface and the emissive power from the
surface, in W/m2.
5. A 1.5 m internal diameter double walled spherical tank is used to store hot water and
steam at 100°C. The inner and outer walls are separated with the 2 cm thick space. The
air between the two walls of the tank is evacuated in order to minimize the heat transfer.
The surfaces surrounding the evacuated space are polished so that each surface has an
emissivity, ε = 0.09. The temperature of the outer wall of the tank is measured to be
30°C. By assuming the conduction resistances of the walls are negligible and calculate
the rate of radiation heat transfer from the hot water in the tank.
6. Three infinite parallel planes 1, 2 and 3 having emissivities ε1=0.2, ε2=0.5 and ε3=0.8
are arranged as shown in the figure. Plate 1 is maintained at 1200 K and plate 3 is
maintained at 300 K. Plate 2 do not receive any heat from external sources. What is the
temperature of the plate 2?
