(i) Hemispherical shape of radius R

(ii) Two concentric cylinders

i)for shape factor of hemispherical shape of radius R We have to consider two surface first one is base circular surface and dome shape surface

enter image description here

Surface 1 is flat and thus $F_11$=0

From summation rule :$F_11$+$F_12$=1→$F_12$=1

From reciprocity rule: $A_1$ $F_12$=$A_2$ $F_21$

→$F_21$=$\frac{A_1}{A_2}$ $F_12$

=$\frac{A_1}{A_2}$ .1

=$\frac{(\frac{πD^2}{4})}{(\frac{πD^2}{2})}$=$\frac{1}{2}$=0.5

ii)For two concentric cylinders

We number different surfaces as

enter image description here

The outer surface of the inner cylinder (1)

The inner surface of the outer cylinder (2)

No radiation leaving surface 1 strikes itself and thus $F_11$=0

All radiation leaving surface 1 strikes surface 2 and thus $F_12$=1 From reciprocity rule:

$A_1$ $F_12$=$A_2$ $F_(21 $)

$F_21$=$\frac{A_1}{A_2}$ $F_12$

=$\frac{(πD_1 h)}{(πD_2 h)}$.1=$\frac{D_1}{D_2}$

Summation rule:

$F_21$+$F_22$=1

$F_22$=1-$F_21$

=1-$\frac{D_1}{D_2}$
