Two long concentrie cylinders have diameters of 5 and 10
cm, respectively. The inside cylinder is at 900 C and the outer
cylinder is at 100-C. The inside and outside emisivities are 0.8
and 0.4, respectively. Calculate:
a) the percent reduction in heat transfer if a cylindrical radiation
shield having a diameter of 6 cm and emisivity af 0.3 is placed
between the two cylinders.
b)discuss the effect of decreasing the shield diameter on the
percent reduction in heat transfer
c)draw the network circuit
cxraw the network circuit
percent reduction of heat transfer by radiation shield is 100-29.75 = 70.25%
B) if we decrease the shield diameter, resistance R3, R4 and R5 will increase, this wil increase the overall resistance and which decreases the heat transfer with radiation shield, which decreases the percentage in reduction wil increase
