Discussion Forum : Heat Transfer, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning - Section 3 (Q.No. 5)
5.
Two long parallel surfaces each of emissivity 0.7 are maintained at different temperatures and accordingly have radiation heat exchange between them. It is desired to reduce 75% of the radiant heat transfer by inserting thin parallel shields of emissivity 1 on both sides. The number of shields should be
one
two
three
four

Emissivity should be given 0.7 to get specified answer and to use Gaurav's formula.

Pradeep said:   7 years ago
Emissivity should be same for shield also. Then the given answer is correct.

Gaurav said:   1 decade ago
Q with shield/Q without shield = 1/n+1.

N = no.of parallel shields.

You are Correct @Pradeep.

It is 3 when all emissivity will be same.

Little confusion evaporator observe sensible heat or latent heat.

Thanks a lot @Amal! Your explanation useful to me.

0.25n+0.25 = 1.
0.25n = 0.75.
n = 3.
