Thermal radiation radiosity

Irradiation G Total thermal radiation energy incident on a surface per unit time per unit area Irradiation (G), and Radiosity J) are all energy fluxes (i.e., rate... 

Radiosity J Total thermal radiation energy leaving a surface (emitted and reflected) per unit time per unit area of energy transfer per unit area). The three terms, Absorptivity (a), Reflectivity (p), and Transmissivity (x), are all surface properties... 

Hence, knowledge of the emissivity completely characterizes the surface. Of course, non-gray and non-diffuse surfaces bring several degrees of complication into the calculations. By employing the concept of radiosity and irradiation illustrated in Figure 7.10, the net thermal radiation heat exchange between surfaces / can be computed by...

The thermal system model for radiant-tube continuous furnace involves integration of the mathematical models of the furnace enclosure, the radiant tube, and the load. The furnace enclosure model calculates the heat transfer in the furnace, the furnace gas, and the refractory walls. The radiosity-based zonal method of analysis [159] is used to predict radiation heat exchange in the furnace enclosure. The radiant-tube model simulates the turbulent transport processes, the combustion of fuel and air, and the convective and radiative heat transfer from the combustion products to the tube wall in order to calculate the local radiant-tube wall and gas temperatures [192], Integration of the furnace-enclosure model and the radiant-tube model is achieved using the radiosity method [159]. Only the load model is outlined here. 

The measurement of thermal IR radiation is the basis for noncontact temperature measurement and thermography. Thermal IR radiation leaving a surface (W) is called exitance or radiosity. It can be emitted from the surface, reflected off the surface, or transmitted through the surface. This is illustrated in Fig. 2.4. The total radiosity is equal to the sum of the emitted component (We), the reflected component (Wr) and the transmitted component (Wt). The surface temperature is related to We, the emitted component, only.
