(30 points) see Figure 2, side view - The eight exhaust headers from a Formula I race car engine heat the engine block through radiation heat transfer. The engine block is at 450 K and has an emissivity of 0.9. The exhaust headers are at 1200 K and are radiating as blackbodies. The engine compartment (surroundings) is at 400 K . The exhaust headers are 40 mm in diameter and are spaced 70 mm center-to-center. The eight exhaust headers radiate a rectangular area of the engine block measuring 560mm500mm, and the exhaust headers are 500 mm long.
a. Draw the radiation circuit between the exhaust headers (surface 1), the engine block (surface 2), and the engine compartment or surroundings (surface 3). Ignore the non-radiated (back) side of the engine block.
b. Give values for all the necessary view factors modeling the geometry as that of an infinite plane and row of cylinders (see Table 13.1). Assume F11=0.1.
c. What is the net radiation [W] to the engine block? Hint: first solve the radiation circuit for the radiosity J of the engine block using an energy balance at that node.
d. What is the heat input to the exhaust headers [kW]?
e. If the engine produces 740 kW , what fraction is spent heating the exhaust headers?
