A 15 cm black disk is placed halfway between two black 3-m-diameter disks that are 7 m apart with all disk surfaces parallel to each other. If the surroundings are 0 K, determine the temperature of the two larger disks required to maintain the smaller disk at 540°C.

GIVEN
GIVEN
• A black disk (A1) halfway between two other black disks (A2 & A3)
• Diameter of A1 (D1) = 15 cm = 0.15 m
• Diameter of A2 and A3: (D2 = D3) = 3 m
• Distance between A2 and A3 (2L) = 7 m
• Surrounding temperature (T?) = 0 K
• Temperature of A1 (T1) = 540°C = 813 K
FIND
• The temperature A2 and A3 required ASSUMPTIONS
• A2 and A3 are at the same temperature (T2 = T3)
• Steady state conditions
