Radiation
Covered in Chapter 12 and 13, radiation is heat transfer due to changes in election configuration, it takes the form of electromagnetic waves.
Radiation exists on electromagnetic radiation spectrum (Figure 12.3 below), a subset of this spectrum is thermal radiation which is what this course focuses on. Thermal radiation is an electromagnetic wave.
From 13E - 2nd Class:
Thermal radiation is measured via four different radiation heat fluxes defined in table 12.1:
See ME3304 S24 Lecture Note (7) Radiation for more info.
Tip
When working with radiation, Dr. Paul recommends to always convert to Kelvin.
