b. For rectangles or disks,' either parallel or perpendicular and with a common side, use the product of the emissivities: Fb = e* X e.
c. For large parallel planes, long concentric cylinders or large enclosed bodies, use. both emissivities in the equation:

The radiation under black-body conditions, or for an emissivity of 1.0; is given in Table 74 for cold surfaces as low as -- 39 F to warmer surfaces as high as 139 F. The emissivities of a number of surfaces ordinarily encountered in engineering practice are shown in Table 6. For radiation table at higher temperatures,, and further discussion of radiation calcu

Thee expressions are applicable to longitudinal flow in other than right circular cylinders provided the hydraulic radius is employed as the conduit dimension parameter. For non-circular cross-sections D * 4 Rq.
dFor low rates of heat transfer by free convection the exponent decreases towards zero, and for higher
rates increases towards 0.33. The following equations employing an exponent equal to 0.25 are applicable
in the intermediate range.
