Two 1.5 m-square and parallel flat plates are 30 cm apart. Plate A1 is maintained at a temperature of 1100 K and A2 at 500 K. The emissivities of the plates are 0.5 and 0.8, respectively. Considering the surroundings black at 0 K and including multiple inter-reflections, determine (a) the net radiant exchange between the plates and (b) the heat input required by surface A1 to maintain its temperature. The outer-facing surfaces of the plates are adiabatic.

GIVEN
