THE VIEW FACTOR [shape factor, configuration factor, and angle factor]

Radiation heat transfer between surfaces depends on the orientation of the


surfaces relative to each other as well as their radiation properties and
temperatures

1. To account for the effects of


orientation on radiation heat
transfer between two surfaces
2. It is a purely geometric quantity and
is independent of the surface
properties and temperature

dA1, and the portion of this radiation that strikes dA2 is

emission and reflection) in all directions is the
radiosity (which is J1 = πI1) times the surface area,
