Heat and Mass Transfer
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
Heat conducted in unit time across unit area through unit thickness when a temperature difference of unity is maintained between opposite faces
Quantity of heat flowing in one second through a slab of the material of area one cm square, thickness 1 cm when its faces differ in temperature by 1°C
Quantity of heat flowing in one second through one cm cube of material when opposite faces are maintained at a temperature difference of 1°C
