3. Shape FactorShape Factor
• The shape factor may be defind as the
fraction of radiative energy that is diffusd from our
surface element and strikes the other surfce
directly with no intervenctions.
4. •Equation 31is applicable to black surface only and mut
not be used for surfaces having emissivities other than
one.
•For calculation of shape factors/geometry factors for
specific geometries and for the analiys of radiant heat
exchange between surfaces, the following propertis and
factors may be useful :
1) The shape factor is purely funcion of geometry
perameters and it is also known as geometry factor.
2) A1F12=A2F12 (reciprocity theorm)
Above relectionship is useful when one of the shape
factor is unity.
3) For a convex or flat surface, the shape factor with
respect to it self is zero (i.e F1-1=0), because one
5. Cannot see any other part of same surface.
4) For a concave surface, the shape factor with respect to
itself is not equal to zero because energy coming out from
one part of the surface is intercepted by the another part of
the same surface.
5) For the two infinite parallel surfaces the shape factor
value is unity.

approach for analysing radiation heat exchange
between any surface(black or non-black).

13. •Radiation heat transfer between two surfaces can be reduced greatly by
inserting a thin, high-reflectivity (low-emissivity) sheet of material between
the two surfaces.
•Such highly reflective thin plates or shells are called radiation shields.
•Multilayer radiation shields constructed of about 20 sheets per cm
thickness separated by evacuated space are commonly used in
cryogenic and space applications.
•Radiation shields are also used in temperature measurements of fluids
to reduce the error caused by the radiation effect when the temperature
sensor is exposed to surfaces that are much hotter or colder than the fluid
itself.
•The role of the radiation shield is to reduce the rate of radiation heat
transfer by placing additional resistances in the path of radiation heat
flow.
•The lower the emissivity of the shield, the higher the resistance.

• When a medium is transparent to radiation,
radiation propagating through such a media
remains unchanged
• However gases such as CO, NO, CO2, SO2,
H2O and various hydrocarbons absorb and emit
radiation over certain wavelength regions called
absorption bands
• We will discuss a very simple analysis of
radiation exchange in an absorbing and emitting
medium, exchange between a body of hot gas
and its black enclosure
