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 T p = 0 ° C and an emissivity of ε p = 0.6 . The furnace wall has a temperature of T f = 200 ° C and an emissivity of ε f = 0.9 . To protect the refrigeration equipment and piping from excessive heat loading, reflective aluminum radiation shielding with an emissivity of ε s = 0.1 is placed between the piping and the furnace wall, as shown in the schematic. Assume all surfaces are diffuse-gray. If the temperature of the shield closest to the piping T s , N must be less than 30°C, how many radiation shields, N , must be installed between the piping and the furnace wall?

This experiment is conducted to determine the emissivity of a certain material. A long
cylindrical rod of diameter D₁ = 0.01 m is coated with this new material and is placed in an
evacuated long cylindrical enclosure of diameter D₂ = 0.1 m and emissivity 2 = 0.95, which
is cooled externally and maintained at a temperature of 200 K at all times. The rod is
heated by passing the electric current through it. When steady operating conditions are
reached, it is observed that the rod is dissipating electric power at a rate of 16 W per unit of
its length, and its surface temperature is 600 K. Based on these measurements, determine
the emissivity of the coating on the rod.
The emissivity of the coating on the rod is 0.1165

A flat-plate collector with one glass cover is placed in horizontal. The absorber plate temperature is 95 oC and its emittance is 0,12. The glass cover temperature is 45 oC, and the (glass) cover has an emittance of 0.85. The plate-cover spacing is 15 mm. The ambient and surrounding temperature are equal at 25 oC. The wind velocity is 20 km/hour. If solar radiation is 850 W/m2 , and the plate absorptivity is 95%, calculate over all heat transfer coefficient losses and the useful energy (W/m2 ). ----- s
