Heat radiation between two non-parallel surfaces

Click For Summary
To calculate heat radiation between non-parallel or non-perpendicular surfaces, view factors are essential but often limited to specific angles. A formula for determining view factors for angles between 0-180 degrees is sought, as existing resources primarily cover parallel and perpendicular cases. The discussion references a link to a thermal radiation table that may provide useful data. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding geometric relationships in radiation heat transfer. Accurate calculations are crucial for effective thermal management in engineering applications.

Hi everybody,

How do you find the heat radiation between two surfaces that aren’t perfectly parallel or perpendicular to each other?

I know that the view factors play a part, however, I can only dig up view factors for parallel and perpendicular surfaces:

Is there a formula for finding the view factor and thus the radiation between surfaces between 0-180 degrees?

Many thanks,

Tina
