Ltd KW - Thermal radiation KW - Inverse problems in radiation KW - Black body and its characteristics KW - Atmospheric radiation KW - Radiation heat transfer between surfaces N1 - "Essentials of Radiation Heat Transfer "is a textbook presenting the essential, fundamental information required to gain an understanding of radiation heat transfer and equips the reader with enough knowledge to be able to tackle more challenging problems. All concepts are reinforced by carefully chosen and fully worked examples, and exercise problems are provided at the end of every chapter.In a significant departure from other books on this subject, this book completely dispenses with the network method to solve problems of radiation heat transfer in surfaces. It instead presents the powerful radiosity-irradiation method and shows how this technique can be used to solve problems of radiation in enclosures made of one to any number of surfaces. The network method is not easily scalable. Secondly, the book introduces atmospheric radiation, which is now being considered as a potentially important area, in which engineers can contribute to the technology of remote sensing and atmospheric sciences in general, by a better understanding of radiation. Finally, a new chapter on inverse problems in radiation is included, expected to be of use to both engineers and atmospheric scientists ER -
