Concept:

Shape Factor is defined as the fraction of radiation energy leaving a surface that reaches another surface, for example, F12 means the fraction of energy leaving the surface 1 reaches surface 2.

Summation Rule: F11 + F12 = 1

Reciprocity theorem: A1 F12 = A2 F21 (A is the surface area)

Calculation:

Given:

For the infinite parallel surface, F11 = 0

∴ F12 = 1
