2CH204 Heat Transfer Op. Handouts Chemical Engineering Department, IT Lecture 9 Chap.4 Thermal Radiation Introduction: The exact nature of radiation is still not fully understood. Two theories have been proposed to explain the phenomenon of radiation: Wave theory, proposed by Maxwell. Quantum theory, proposed by Max Planck. Thermal radiations exhibit characteristics similar to those of visible light, and follow optical laws. These can reflected, refracted and are subject to scattering and absorption when they pass through a media. They get polarized and weakened in strength with inverse square of radial distance from the radiating surface.

Handouts Chemical Engineering Department, IT Lecture 10 Black body: A black body has the following properties: ( I ) It absorbs all the incident radiation falling on it and does not transmit or reflect regardless of wavelength and direction. ( II ) It emits maximum amount of thermal radiations at all wavelengths at any specified temperature. (III) It is a diffuse emitter ( i.e., the radiation emitted by a black body is independent of direction). The Stefan- Boltzmann Law: i.e. Eb = σ T4 ------ (I ) Equation (I ) can be written as Eb = 5.67 ( T/100)4 Kirchhoff’s Law: The law states that at any temperature the ratio of total emissive power E to the total absorptivity α is a constant for all substances, which are in thermal equilibrium with their environment. A1 E1 = α1 A 1 Eb ε=α (α is always smaller than 1. Therefore, the emissive power E is always smaller than the emissive power of a black body at equal temperature). Thus, kirchhoff’s law also states that the emissivity of a body is equal to its absorptivity when the body remains in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings. Plank’s Law: In 1990 Max Plank showed by quantum arguments that the spectrum distribution of the radiation intensity of a black body is given by 2c 2 h 5 ---- (Planck’s law) ( E )b ch exp 1 kT A plot of (Eλ)b as a function of temperature and wavelength is given in fig. It should be carefully noted that Plank’s distribution law holds for a hypothetical black body. Real surfaces show marked deviation from Plank’s law.

Handouts Chemical Engineering Department, IT Lecture 11 Wien’s Displacement Law: In 1893 Wien established a relationship between the temperature of a black body and the wavelength at which the maximum value of monochromatic emissive power occurs. A peak monochromatic emissive power occurs at a particular wavelength. Wien’s displacement law state that the product of λmax and T is constant i.e λmax T = Constant i.e. λmax T = 2898 µ m K = 0.0029 m k This law holds true for more substances; there is however some daviation in the case of a metallic conductor where the product λmax T is found to be vary with absolute temperature. It is used in predicting very high temperature through measurement of wavelength. A combination of Planck’s law and Wien’s displacement law yields the condition for the maximum monochromatic emissive power for black body. 5 2.898 * 10 3 0 . 374 * 10 T C 1 ( max ) 5 ( E b ) max 2 C2 1.4388 * 10 1 1 exp exp 3 2.898 * 10 max T or (Eλb )max = 1.285 * 0.10-5 T5 W/m2 per meter wavelength 15 Key points : 1. To find Emissive power or Total Emissive power, use Stefan Boltzmann Law 2. To find Monochromatic Emissive power, use Planck’s Law 3. To find wavelength or Temperature at which radiation is maximum, use Wien’s law. 4. To find maximum Monochromatic Emissive power of body, use combination of Planck’s Law & Wien’s law.

Handouts Chemical Engineering Department, IT Lecture 12 Radiation Shields: In certain situations it is required to reduce the overall heat transfer between two radiating surfaces. This is done by either using materials which are highly reflective or by using radiation shields between the heat exchanging surfaces. The radiation shields reduce the radiation heat transfer by effectively increasing the surface resistances without actually removing any heat from the overall system. This sheets of plastic coated with highly reflecting metallic films on both sides serve as very effective radiation shields. These are used for the insulation of cryogenic storage tanks. A familiar application of radiation shields is in the measurement of the temperature of a fluid by a thermometer or a thermocouple which is shielded to reduce the effects of radiation. The bulb of a thermometer or a thermocouple junction, used for measurement of fluid temperature, should be shielded in order to reduce radiation effects to minimum. Otherwise the temperature indicated may involve some error. Refer blow fig.
