The radiation network is shown in figure example 8-7(page no.-404) where surface 3 is the room and surface 2 is the insulated surface. note that J3 = Eb3 because the room is large and (1-E3)/(E3*A3) approaches zero.Because surface 2 is insulated it has zero heat transfer and J2 = Eb2. J2 "floats" in the network and is determined from the overall radiant balance. // from figure 8-14(page no.-387) the shape factors are F12 = 0.2; F21 = F12; // because F11 = 0; F22 = 0; F13 = 1-F12; F23 = F13; // the resistances are R1 = (1-E1)/(E1*A1); R2 = 1/(A1*F13); R3 = 1/(A2*F23); R4 = 1/(A1*F12); // we also have Eb1 = sigma*T1^(4);// [W/square meter] Eb3 = sigma*T2^(4);// [W/square meter] J3 = Eb3;// [W/square meter] // the overall circuit is a series parallel arrangement and the heat transfer is R_equiv = R1+(1/[(1/R2)+1/(R3+R4)]); q = (Eb1-Eb3)/R_equiv;// [W] // this heat transfer can also be written as q = (Eb1-J1)/((1-E1)/(E1*A1)) // inserting the values J1 = Eb1-q*((1-E1)/(E1*A1));// [W/square meter] // the value of J2 is determined from proportioning the resistances between J1 and J3, so that // (J1-J2)/R4 = (J1-J3)/(R4+R2) J2 = J1-((J1-J3)/(R4+R2))*R4;// [W/square meter] Eb2 = J2;// [W/square meter] // finally, we obtain the temperature of the insulated surface as T2 = (Eb2/sigma)^(1/4);// [K] printf("temperature of the insulated surface is %f K",T2); printf("\n\n heat lost by the surface at 1000K is %f kW",q/1000);
