Electromagnetic Radiation EM Radiation Properties

• Radiation heat transfer by
electromagnetic radiation
– Part of much larger spectrum
– Thermal radiation transfers
heat without contact
• Use of fire or electric resistance
heating are best examples
• Thermal radiation lies in infrared
and visible part of spectrum (with
some in ultraviolet)
Figure 12-3 from Çengel, Heat and Mass Transfer
• Wavelength, λ, ranges from 10-9 to 1010
μm is distance between wave peaks
• EM waves travel at speed of light =
299,792,458 m/s (in a vacuum)
• Frequency, ν = c/λ, units of Hz = s-1
• Radian frequency ω = 2πν, units s-1
• For ν = 60 Hz = 60 s-1, λ = (299,792,458
m/s) / (60 s-1) ≈ 5x106 m = 5x1012 μm

Black-body Radiation Black-Body Radiation II

• Perfect emitter – no • Basic black body equation: Eb = σT4
surface can emit – Eb is total black-body radiation energy flux
more radiation than W/m2 or Btu/hr·ft2
a black body – σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
• Diffuse emitter – • σ = 5.670x10-8 W/m2·K4
• σ = 0.1714x10-8 Btu/hr·ft2·R4
radiation is uniform
in all directions – Must use absolute temperature
• Perfect absorber – all radiation striking a • Radiation flux varies with wavelength
black body is absorbed – Ebλ is flux at given wavelength, λ

Sample Problem Solution Radiation Exchange

• Compute λT at λ1 and λ2 and find • In general, radiation leaving a surface
corresponding fλ values in Table 12.2 can vary in direction
– λ1T = (0.4 μm)(2478 K) = 991 μm·K – Ideal of diffuse radiation is uniform in all
– λ1T = (0.79 μm)(2478 K) = 1883 μm·K directions
– f(λ1T) = 0.000289 (interpolation in table) – Need coordinate system for radiation
– f(λ2T) = 0.04980 (interpolation in table) leaving a surface
– Look at hemisphere on top of surface and

Solid Angle II
• Similar to radian angular measure in 2D • Just as there are 2π radians in a circle,

rdθ so dθ = dl/r
• Partial surface area, S

basis effective
– Can also take averages over wavelength, source
direction or both as with emissivity temperature
– Simplest case is no dependence on either of about

Kirchoff’s Law Effect of Temperature

• Absorptivity equals emissivity (at the
same temperature)
• True only for values in a given direction
and wavelength
• Assuming total hemispherical values of
α and ε are the same simplifies
radiation heat transfer calculations, but
is not always a good assumption
39
• Emissivity, ε, depends on surface
temperature
• Absorptivity, α, depends on source
temperature (e.g. Tsun ≈ 5800 K)
• For surfaces exposed to solar radiation
– high α and low ε will keep surface warm
– low α and high ε will keep surface cool
– Does not violate Kirchoff’s law since
source and surface temperatures differ
