Stefan-Boltzmann formula

The following Stefan-Boltzmann formula applies to both plane and cylindrical surfaces ... 

The Planck formula suggests how to find numerical values of constants in Stefan-Boltzmann and Wien laws. In particular on integration of Kirchhoff s law on the whole frequency range one can arrive at the Stefan-Boltzmann formula. The constant in Wien s law b can be found by derivation of the Kirchhoff s function on frequency and equalizing it to zero. We hope that readers can carry out these calculations themselves. 

The total emission of radiant energy from a black body takes place at a rate expressed by the Stefan-Boltzmann (fourth-power) lav/ while its spectral energy distribution is described by Wien slaws, ormore accurately by Planck s equation, as well as by a n umber of oilier empirical laws and formulas, See also Thermal Radiation,... 

Prove that the Stefan-Boltzmann law for thermal radiation given in Eq. (1.59) can be derived by using Planck s formula given in Eq. (1.62). Also show that... 

An element in a thermally radiative environment absorbs, reflects, refracts, diffracts, and transmits incoming radiative heat fluxes as well as emits its own radiative heat flux. Most solid materials in gas-solid flows, including particles and pipe walls, can be reasonably approximated as gray bodies so that absorption and emission can be readily calculated from Stefan-Boltzmann s law (Eq. (1.59)) for total thermal radiation or from Planck s formula (Eq. (1.62)) for monochromatic radiation. Other means of transport of radiative... 

Two large parallel plates with grey surfaces are situated 75 mm apart one has an emissivity of 0.8 and is at a temperature of 350 K and the other has an emissivity of 0.4 and is at a temperature of 300 K. Calculate the net rate of heat exchange by radiation per square metre taking the Stefan-Boltzmann constant as 5.67 x 10-8 W/m2 K4. Any formula (other than Stefan s law) which you use must be proved. 

The thermodynamical proof of the Stefan-Boltzmann law rests on the existence of radiation pressure. We imagine an enclosure shut off by a movable piston with a reflecting surface. The radiation field exerts a pressure on the piston its magnitude is a function of u, the energy density of the radiation in the enclosure. In fact, both Maxwell s theory and the quantum (corpuscular) theory of light give the formula... 

Boltzmann showed that the energy density emitted per seeond from a unit surface of a black body is where T is the temperature and a is the Stefan-Boltzmann eonstant, but it takes statistieal meehanics to produce the formula... 

Stefan-Boltzmann s law This law states that the energy emitted by abody at a given tempo ature is proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. This law can be derived from classical thermodynamics, but an integration of Planck s radiation formula over all wavelengths yields the same result. 

From Planck s radiation formula, other relationships for a black body spectrum can be derived. The Stefan Boltzmann law gives the total radiance emitted (pbb) black body as a function of the black body temperature ... 

Stefan-Boltzmann Law The law relating the radiant flux per unit area emitted by a black body to the temperature, with the formula M. = oT, where M,. is the radiant flux leaving a surface per unit area and a is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. 

Planck was able to achieve agreement with experimental data by choosing a value of h approximately equal to the presently accepted value, 6.62608 x 10 Js. Planck s formula agrees with the Stefan-Boltzmann law and with Wien s law, which states that the wavelength at the maximum in the spectral radiant emittance curve is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature. 

One additional amazing confirmation is that we can integrate Planck s formula over all frequencies to obtain the total emissive power to compare to the Stefan-Boltzmann law...
