Question

Consider a circular grill whose diameter is 0.3 m. The bottom of the grill is covered with hot coal bricks at 961 K, while the wire mesh on top of the grill is covered with steaks initially at 274 K. The distance between the coal bricks and the steaks is 0.20 m. Treating both the steaks and the coal bricks as blackbodies, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer from the coal bricks to the steaks. Also, determine the initial rate of radiation heat transfer to the steaks if the side opening of the grill is covered by aluminum foil, which can be approximated as a reradiating surface.

Answer 1

Step 1

Given

Diameter of circular grill, D = 0.3m

Distance between the coal bricks and the steaks, L = 0.2m

Temperatures of the hot coal bricks, T₁ = 950k

Temperatures of the steaks, T₂ = 5°c
