ENERGY & HEAT TRANSFER

Thermal radiation net power

estimates the net radiative heat transfer between a gray body and a large isothermal environment.

P=εσA(T4−Ts4)P=\varepsilon\sigma A(T^4-T_s^4)

symbols, variables and units

ε: emissivity; σ: W/(m²·K⁴); A: m²; T, T_s: K.

applicable conditions and boundaries

Gray body, viewing angle factor is approximately 1; complex geometry requires radiation network.
