  1. Two black surfaces, AB and BC, of length 5m and 6 m, respectively, are oriented as shown. Both surfaces extend infinitely into the third dimension. Given that view factor F12 = 0.5. T1 = 800 K, T2 = 600 K, Tsurrounding = 300 K and Stefan Boltzmann constant, a = 5.67 × 10-8 W/ (m2K4), the heat transfer rate from Surface 2 to the surrounding environment is _____kW.
    1. 13.798
    2. 13.7
    3. 13.778
    4. 13.785
Correct Option: C

F12 = 0.5

T1 = 800 K, T2 = 600 K
Tsurrounding = 300 K
Let (3) denote the surrounding environment (Assume unit width perpendicular to plane of Fig.)
From summation rule:
F21 + F22 + F23 = 1
F21 + F23 = 1
∴ F22 = 0
or F23 = 1 – F21
A1 F12 = A2 F21 = 6 × 1 × 0.5
= (5 × 1) × F21

F21 =
6 × 0.5
= 0.6
5

∴ F23 = 1 – F21 = 0.4
Since surrounding environment being large. No surface has a surface resistance
