To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzmann law which establishes that a black body emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power (W / m²) proportional to the fourth power of its temperature.
Heat flow is obtained as follows:
Where,
F =View Factor
A = Cross sectional Area
Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T= Temperature
Our values are given as
D = 0.6m
The view factor between two coaxial parallel disks would be
Then the view factor between base to top surface of the cylinder becomes . From the summation rule
Then the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the disks to the environment is calculated as
Therefore the rate heat radiation is 780.76W
