Discuss the below:
Q: A radiative heater consists of a bank of ceramic tubes with internal heating elements. The tubes are of diameter D = 20 mm and are separated by a distance s = 50 mm. A reradiating surface is positioned behind the heating tubes as shown in the schematic. Determine the net radiative heat flux to the heated material when the heating tubes (eh = 0.87) are maintained at 1000 K. The heated material (em = 0.26) is at a temperature of 500 K.
