EXAMPLE 3
A dryer is shaped like a long semicylindrical duct of diameter 2 m. The base
of the dryer is occupied with water-soaked
materials that are to be dried. The dome of
the dryer has a constant temperature of
1000 K, while the materials at the base are
at 368 K. Both surfaces can be
approximated as blackbody. Determine the
length of the dryer so that the materials
are dried at a rate of 0.1 kg/s.

Use of electric analogy
The algebraic sum of the
currents at each node must
equal to zero.
EXAMPLE 4
A cylindrical furnace has a dimension of ro =
H = 1 m. The top surface and the base have
emissivities 0.8 and 0.4, respectively, and
are maintained at uniform temperatures 700
K and 500 K. The side surface closely
approximates a blackbody and is maintained
at a temperature 400 K. Determine the net
rate of radiation heat transfer at each
surface during steady state operation.

QUIZ 2
A furnace is shaped like a long equilateral triangular
duct. The base has an emissivity of 0.7 and is
maintained at a uniform temperature of 600 K. The
heated left-side surface closely approximates a
blackbody at 1000 K. The right-side surface is well
insulated. Determine the rate at which heat must be
applied to the heated side externally per unit length of
the duct in order to maintain these operating
conditions.
Assuming the duct is very long, end effects are
negligible.
RADIATION SHIELD
Highly reflective (low emissivity) thin
plates or shells inserted between two
surfaces to reduce radiation heat transfer
The lower the emissivity of the shield, the
higher the resistance.

GAS RADIATION
Non-participating media
Vacuum
Air at normal T and P
Symmetric diatomic molecules (ex. N2, O2),
except at higher T (due to ionization)

Absorb at moderate T
Absorb and emit at high T
