Two parallel discs pf 1m diameter are situated 2m part in surroundings at a temparature 20 C. The inner side of one disc has an emissivity of 0.5 and is manintained at 500 C by electric resistance heating and the outer side of the disc is well insulated. The other disc is Two parallel discs of 1m diameter are situated 2m apart in surroundings at a temperature of 20 oC. The inner side of one disc has an emissivity of 0.5 and is maintained at 500 oC by electric resistance heating and the outer side of the disc is well insulated. The other disc is open to radiation on both sides and reaches an equilibrium temperature. Calculate this equilibrium temperature and the heat flow rate from the first disc, assuming heat transfer is entirely by radiation.
