Description
Springer Essentials Of Radiation Heat Transfer 2021 Edition by Balaji C.
Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer focuses only on the essential topics required to gain an understanding of radiation heat transfer to enable the reader to master more challenging problems. The strength of the book lies in its elaborate presentation of the powerful radiosity-irradiation method and shows how this technique can be used to solve a variety of problems of radiation in enclosures made of one to any number of surfaces in both transparent and participating media. The book also introduces atmospheric radiation in which engineers can contribute to the technology of remote sensing and atmospheric sciences in general, by a better understanding of radiation._x000D__x000D_The author has included pedagogical features such as end-of-chapter exercises and worked examples with varying degrees of difficulty to augment learning and self-testing. The book has been written in an easy- to- follow conversational style to enhance reader engagement and learning outcomes. This book will be a useful guide for upper undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, atmospheric sciences, and energy sciences._x000D_ Table of contents :- 1 Introduction 11.1 Importance of thermal radiation ............................................. 11.2 Nature of radiation ................................................................. 62 Black body and its characteristics 112.1 Solid angle - dco ...................................................................... 182.2 Spectral or monochromatic radiation intensity, IA,e . . . ............. 232.3 Spectral hemispherical emissive power .................................... 242.4 Radiation pressure ................................................................... 282.5 Relationship between the intensity, I and temperature, T 332.6 Planck's distribution ................................................................. 382.7 The Rayleigh Jeans distribution................................................ 392.8 Planck's distribution - salient features ...................................... 52PROBLEMS ................................................................................... 653 Radiative properties of non-black surfaces 673.1 Spectral directional emissivity, EURO'(A, T, 0, 0) ........................ 703.2 Hemispherical spectral emissivity, EURO),(A, T) .......................... 723.3 Directional total emissivity, EURO'(T, 0, 0) .................................. 733.4 Hemispherical total emissivity, EURO(T) ......................................... 743.5 Absorptivity, a ......................................................................... 843.6 Spectral directional absorptivity, a'A .................................................................................... 873.7 Hemispherical spectral absorptivity, a),(A,TA) ......................... 913.8 Directional total absorptivity, a(TA,0,0) ................................... 923.9 Hemispherical total absorptivity, a(TA) .................................... 933.10 Reflectivity, p ...................................................................... 1003.11 Transmissivity, r .................................................................. 1033.12 Spectral transmissivity r),(A,t) .............................................. 1043.13 Optical pyrometry ................................................................ 110PROBLEMS ................................................................................. 1124 Radiation heat transfer between surfaces 1154.1 Enclosure theory .................................................................... 1164.2 View factor ............................................................................ 1184.3 View factor algebra ................................................................ 1214.4 View factors from direct integration ...................................... 1344.5 Enclosure analysis ................................................................. 150PROBLEMS ................................................................................. 1725 Radiation in participating media 1795.1 Principal difficulties in studying gas radiation ........................ 1835.2 Important properties for study of gas radiation ...................... 1835.3 Equation of transfer or Radiative transfer equation (RTE) 1845.4 Solution for the straight path .................................................. 1895.5 Heat fluxes ............................................................................ 190PROBLEMS ................................................................................. 2166 Introduction to atmospheric radiation 2176.1 Introduction............................................................................ 2176.2 Electromagnetic spectrum ...................................................... 2176.3 Black body radiation .............................................................. 2186.4 Radiative transfer equation for a plane parallel atmosphere 220 6.5 Radiative transfer equation (RTE) for an absorbing andemitting atmosphere ............................................................ 2216.6 Infrared remote sensing ......................................................... 222PROBLEMS ................................................................................. 2247 Inverse problems in radiation 2257.1 Introduction............................................................................ 2257.2 Parameter estimation by least squares minimization . . ........... 2277.3 The Bayesian approach to inverse problems .......................... 233PROBLEMS ................................................................................. 240Bibliography 241Index 243
