Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer

Catalog description

Blackbody radiation characteristics. Non-black surface properties: emissivity, absorptivity and reflectivity and values for real materials. Blackbody radiation exchange and viewfactor algebra. Graybody exchange. Effects of non-diffuse, non-gray surface properties. Absorption-emission-scattering during transmission through media: transfer equation and approximate solutions. Emphasis on terrestrial solar and building thermal envelope through examples.
