For infinite parallel planes having emissivities ε1 & ε2, the interchange factor for radiation from surface 1 to surface 2 is given by__________________?

Correct answer: B. ε1.ε2/(ε1 + ε2 - ε1.ε2)

  • A. (ε1 + ε2)/ε1.ε2
  • B. ε1.ε2/(ε1 + ε2 - ε1.ε2)
  • C. ε1.ε2
  • D. ε1 + ε2

Explanation

For two infinite facing gray surfaces, the radiation exchange factor is the reciprocal of the two surface resistances and the space resistance: ε1ε2/(ε1 + ε2 − ε1ε2). This accounts for repeated reflection between the surfaces.
