Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer

The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative transfer between surfaces and within participating media. The textbook includes newly expanded sections on surface properties, electromagnetic theory, scattering and absorption of particles, and near-field radiative transfer, and emphasizes the broader connections to thermodynamic principles. Sections on inverse analysis and Monte Carlo methods have been enhanced and updated to reflect current research developments, along with new material on manufacturing, renewable energy, climate change, building energy efficiency, and biomedical applications. Features: * * Offers full treatment of radiative transfer and radiation exchange in enclosures. * * Covers properties of surfaces and gaseous media, and radiative transfer equation development and solutions. * * Includes expanded coverage of inverse methods,
