Radiation Heat Transfer & Emissivity

Subtopic: Reciprocity and summation rules of view factors

Question Statement:

For diffuse, gray radiation exchange between two surfaces 1 and 2 of areas $A_1$ and $A_2$, the reciprocity theorem states:

Options:

  • (A) $A_1 F_{12} = A_2 F_{21}$
  • (B) $F_{12} + F_{21} = 1$
  • (C) $A_1 F_{21} = A_2 F_{12}$
  • (D) $F_{12} = F_{21}$ for all geometry

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

The radiation reciprocity relation states $A_1 F_{12} = A_2 F_{21}$, valid for any two diffuse radiating surfaces.
