Radiation emission

Continuous sources The sources of choice for measurements in the ultraviolet spectral region are hydrogen or deuterium lamps [1]. When the gas pressure is 30 to 60 X10 Pa they yield a continuous emission spectrum. The maxima of their radiation emission occur at different wavelengths (Hi A = 280 nm Di 2 = 220 nm). This means that the deuterium lamp is superior for measurements in the lower UV region (Fig. 15). 

The temperature for methane and butane calculated with the isothermal model is a factor 1.4 times greater than the average temperature measured by Lihou and Maund (1982) in their small-scale tests, although higher local maximum temperatures were measured. In this model, combustion is stoichiometric, thus leading to very high fireball temperatures which, in turn, lead to high radiation emissions. Effective surface emissions measured experimentally were one-half the value calculated from this model, because combustion is not stoichiometric and emissivity is less than unity. 

Whilst the calculation of the radiant heat flux from a gas to an adjoining surface embraces inherent spectral and directional effects, a simplified approach has been developed by Hottel and Manglesdorf 54, which involves the determination of radiation emission from a hemispherical mass of gas of radius L, at temperature 7, ... 

Most physicians do not test for americium in their offices, but they can collect samples and send them to special laboratories. Since americium is radioactive, it is normally measured by its radiation emissions. These emissions are used to tell the amount of americium (in curies or Becquerels) and the radiation dose it gives to your body (in Sieverts or rem). Radiation detectors measure the radiation that is released from objects or materials, including the whole body. If...

Zirkind reviews investigations of radiation emission of rocket exhausts since 1940 (Ref 11). Emission characteristics of the exhaust plume are strongly dependent on rocket engine parameters the propellant system. If these motor operating conditions are stipulated, machine computations can give exhaust composition sometimes temperatures... 

At temperatures above absolute zero, particles can emit as well as absorb and scatter electromagnetic radiation. Emission does not strictly fall within the bounds imposed in the first chapter it is more akin to such phenomena as luminescence than to elastic scattering. However, because of the relation between emission and absorption, and because emission can be an important cooling mechanism for particles, it seems appropriate to discuss, at least briefly, thermal emission by a sphere.

When an object is heated, it emits radiation—it glows. Even at room temperature, objects radiate at infrared frequencies. Imagine a hollow sphere whose inside surface is perfectly black. That is, the surface absorbs all radiation striking it. If the sphere is at constant temperature, it must emit as much radiation as it absorbs. If a small hole were made in the wall, we would observe that the escaping radiation has a continuous spectral distribution. The object is called a blackbody, and the radiation is called blackbody radiation. Emission from real objects such as the tungsten filament of a light bulb resembles that from an ideal blackbody. 

In addition to specific impulse, the vehicle requirements usually influence propellant selection in terms of storability, density, toxicity, and other hazards, and other application-sensitive factors, including exhaust plume properties and radar cross section and radiation emissions. Other factors being essentially equal, the higher the heat of reaction of a propellant (or combination). Hie more attractive die propellant. Sharp exceptions to this rule occur in some missiles because of volume limitations, the need for smokeless exhaust or similar restraints. 

Either of these processes, however, appears to be unlikely, and the first has been rejected by Benson (13). Although radiation from the 32u state is possible, it is precisely the vibrationally excited states of 32 which are known not to radiate. Emission bands in the Schumann-Runge system for v > 2 have not been found (21,94,105), and the evidence is now strong that predissociation from v 3 accounts for the absence of these emission bands. Therefore, it is most probable that reac-... 

Energy band gaps for selected semiconductors are summarized in Table I. On the basis of the nature of the transition from the valence band to the conduction band, semiconductors are classified as direct or indirect. In a direct semiconductor, the transition does not require a change in electron momentum, whereas in an indirect semiconductor, a change in momentum is required for the transition to occur. This difference is important for optical devices such as lasers, which require direct-band-gap materials for efficient radiation emission (7, 8). As indicated in Figure 7, Si is an indirect semiconductor, whereas GaAs is a direct semiconductor. 

Radiated emission is a measure of the level of EMI propagated in air by the source. Radiated emission requires a carrier medium such as air or other gases and is usually expressed in volts/meter (V/m) or microvolts per meter (pV/m).
