Understanding Thermal Radiation

Get access to my video Understanding Dimensional Analysis on Nebula and great documentaries like Exploring Quantum History on CuriosityStream visit and use the promo code efficientengineer In this video we ll take a look at thermal radiation, one of the three modes of heat transfer along with conduction and convection. We ll start by covering electromagnetic waves, the StefanBoltzmann law, black bodies and emissive power. We ll then talk about emissivity, absorptivity, transmissivity and reflectivity, as well as view factors, all key concepts for being able to calcualate the radiative heat transfer between surfaces.
