Question

Two large parallel planes having emissivities of 0.4 and 0.6 are maintained at temperatures of 846 K and 288 K, respectively. A radiation shield having an emissivity of 0.2 on both sides is placed between the two planes. Calculate (a) the heat-transfer rate per unit area if the shield were not present, (b) the heat-transfer rate per unit area with the shield present. If the emissivity of the shield is increased by 50%, how many shields are needed for the heat transfer rate per unit area as compared with the obtained results from (b)?
