Lecture #6 - Radiation
Radiation
- mode of heat transfer through electromagnetic wave.
Sample of electromagnetic waves are; Radio waves, Light
waves, thermal radiation, X ray, visible light, microwave,
infrared, gamma rays, etc.
- Anything whose temperature is above the surrounding will
always radiate of significant amount.
- The Radiant heat exchange between two surfaces can be
computed from the Stefan-Boltzmann Law.
Radiation
FORMULA:
Q = 𝐞 𝛔 𝐀 (𝐓 )
𝟒
or Q = 𝐞𝛔𝐀¿
Where:
Q = heat transfer due to radiation, Watts or J/s
e = emissivity factor (from 0 to 1.0)
e = the ratio of radiation emitted of a given object (real body)
Φr and a black body Φb at the same temperature
σ = Stefan–Boltzmann constant = 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2-K4
A = area, m2
T1 = absolute temperature of the surface radiating the heat, K
T2 = absolute temperature of the surface receiving the heat, K
The Concept of a Perfect Black Body
- Perfect Black Body is a body that absorbs all
electromagnetic radiation. It absorbs all wavelength such
no reflection occurs
- When radiant energy falls on a body, part may be absorbed,
part reflected, and the remainder transmitted through the
body. In mathematical form;
𝐚 + 𝐫 + 𝐭 =𝟏
Where:
a = absorptivity or the fraction of the total energy absorbed
r = reflectivity or the fraction of the total energy reflected
t = transmitted or fraction of the total energy transmitted through the body

SAMPLE PROBLEMS
2. A steam pipe having a surface temperature of 3000°C
passes through a room where the temperature is 25°C. The
outside diameter of pipe is 100 mm and the emissivity
factor is 0.60. Determine the radiated heat loss for a 5 m
pipe length.
