A furnace is located next to a dense array of cryogenic fluid piping. The ice-covered piping approximates a plane surface with an average temperature of Tp = 0°C and a total, hemispherical emissivity of εp = 0.56. That is, the piping can be replaced by a flat surface with the given properties. The furnace wall has a temperature of Tf = 247°C and a total, hemispherical emissivity of εf = 0.86. To minimize the heat loading on the regirgeration equipment and piping, a reflective aluminum radiation shield with a total, hemispherical emissivity of εs = 0.13 on each of its sides is installed between the pipiing and the furnace wall as shown. Assume that all surfaces are diffuse and gray and treat the problem as one-dimensional (surfaces form infinite parallel plates). What is the heat load on on the refrigeration unit? That is, what is the net radiative power at the surface which approximates the dense array of ice-cold piping, qrad,p in Watts?
