Common Data for Questions 
Radiative heat transfer is intended between the inner surfaces of two very large isothermal parallel metal plates. While the upper plate (designated as plate 1) is a black surface and is the warmer one being maintained at 727°C, the lower plate (plate 2) is a diffuse and gray surface with an emissivity of 0.7 and is kept at 227°C.
Assume that the surfaces are sufficiently large to form a two-surface enclosure and steady-state conditions to exist. Stefan-Boltzmann constant is given as 5.67 × 10-8 W/m2K4.
