3 Heat and Mass Transfer By Brij Bhooshan
Thermal radiation is that electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body as a result of its
temperature. Thermal radiation refers to the radiant energy emitted by bodies by virtue
of their own temperatures, resulting from the thermal excitation of the molecules.
Thermal radiation is generally described in terms of electromagnetic waves, all of which
propagated at the speed of light 3 108 m/s.
The wavelength and frequency of radiation propagating in a medium are related by
C =
where C is the velocity of light in the medium, is the frequency and, is the
wavelength.
The propagation of thermal radiation takes place in the form of discrete quanta, each
quantum having energy of
E = h
where h is Planck’s constant and has the value h = 6.625 × 10−34 J·s.
Radiation is electromagnetic wave belonging mainly to the infrared of the
electromagnetic spectrum. The radiation being are electromagnetic do not require any
medium for transfer.
The factors on which the radiation emitted by a body depends are the following
1. Temperature of the body,
2. Nature of the surface of the body,
3. Surface area of the body.
If the intervening space between two bodies is vacuum, the radiative energy transfer
between them occurs with the speed of light. If an absorbing medium intervenes the
bodies, the net radiative transfer is reduced, since the medium itself absorbs some
energy. The study of radiation energy transfer is thus separated into two distinct parts:
1. Radiation energy transfer in a nonparticipating medium where the medium is
either vacuum or does not interfere with the energy propagation.
2. Radiation energy transfer in a participating medium, which intervenes with its
propagation by absorbing, emitting or scattering energy. Layers of certain gases
and vapours which absorb and emit radiation at certain ranges of wavelengths
would be considered as the participating medium.
9.1 PREVOST’S THEORY
All bodies emit thermal radiation, unless the body is at absolute zero temperature. If a
body is placed in a surrounding at the same temperature as itself, its temperature does
not change, since the rate at which energy is radiated is equal to the rate at which
energy is received from the surroundings. When a hot body is placed in cooler
surroundings, the rate at which it radiates is faster than the rate at which it absorbs the
incident radiation, as a result of which its temperature decreases till the state of
thermal equilibrium is reached. This is known as Prevost's theory of heat exchange.
9.2 RADIATION PROPERTY
Matter can emit, absorb, reflect and transmit radiant energy. If Q is the total radiant
energy incident upon the surface of a body, some part of it (Qa) will be absorbed, some
part (Qr) reflected and some part (Qt) transmitted through the body (Diagram 9.1). By
energy balance
Q = Qa + Qr + Qt

or
+ ρ + τ = 1 (9.1)
where α is the fraction of incident radiation which is absorbed, called absorptivity, ρ is
the fraction which is reflected, called reflectivity and τ is the fraction which is
transmitted through the body, called transmissivity or transmittance.
Diagram 9.1 Radiation incident on a surface
There are two types of reflection that can occur, specular reflection and diffuse
reflection. In specular reflection, the angle of incidence of the radiation is equal to the
angle of reflection. The reflection shown in Diagram 9.1 is specular reflection. Most
bodies do not reflect in a specular manner, they reflect radiation in all directions. Diffuse
reflection is sometimes likened to a situation in which the incident thermal radiation is
absorbed and then reemitted from the surface, still retaining its initial wavelength.
For black body: = 1, ρ = 0, τ = 0.
For opaque body: + ρ = 1, τ = 0.
For white body: = 0, ρ = 1, τ = 0.
For gray body: , ρ, τ = uniform.
For transparent body: = 0, ρ = 0, τ = 1.
Most solids do not transmit any radiation and are opaque. By increasing ρ with high
surface polishing, or can be decreased. If ρ is reduced, increases. The reflectivity
depends on the character of the surface. Therefore, the absorptivity of an opaque body
can be increased or decreased by appropriate surface treatment.
When the surface is highly polished, the angle of incidence θi, is equal to the angle of
reflection θr, and the reflection is said to be specular. When the surface is rough, the
incident radiation is distributed in all directions, and the reflection is said to be diffuse
(Diagram 9.2).
Diagram 9.2 Types of reflection
Most gases have high values of and low values of and ρ. Air at atmospheric pressure
and temperature is transparent to thermal radiation for which τ = 1 and = 0, ρ = 0. For
example gases like CO2 and H2O vapour are highly absorptive at certain ranges of
wavelengths.

9.3 STEFAN’S LAW
It’s sate that “The rate at which an objects radiates is directly proportional to the fourth
power of its absolute temperature.”
E = T4 [9.2]
By considering the radiation as such a gas, the principles of quantum-statistical
thermodynamics can be applied to derive an expression for the energy density of
radiation per unit volume and per unit wavelength as
If we taken a dimensionless variable, then
x = h/kT or = c/
Integrating above equation
The value of definite integral is
where
Then
Eb = T4 [9.3]
Equation (9.3) is called the Stefan-Boltzmann law, Eb is the energy radiated per unit
time and per unit area by the ideal radiator, and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant,
which has the value
σ = 5.669 × 10−8 W/m2 ·K4.
It is the depend of total hemispherical radiation on temperature.
The total emissive power of a black body is given by
After integration we get
Eb = T4
Above equation is same as the equation (9.3).
9.4 EMISSIVE POWER
If the radiation from a heated body is dispersed into a spectrum by a prism, it is found
that the radiant energy is distributed among various wavelengths.
The total emissive power of a body, E, is defined as the total radiant energy emitted by
the body at a certain temperature per unit time and per unit surface area at all
wavelengths.

6 Chapter 9: Radiation Heat Transfer
The monochromatic emissive power of a body, E, is defined as the radiant energy
emitted by the body per unit time and per unit surface area at a particular wavelength
and temperature. The radiation energy emitted by a black body per unit time and per
unit surface area is given by
Eb = T4
Eb is called the total emissive power of a black body.
The variation of Eb with and T is shown in Diagram 9.3. The total radiation, Eb, is
distributed among wavelengths varying from 0 to . Therefore, at a particular
temperature,
Diagram 9.3 Variation of monochromatic emissive power of a black body with and T
For wavelengths ranging from to + d, dEb is the change of total emissive power.
dEb = dEb d
which is also called spectral or radiation intensity of a black body. Since the area under
each curve for a certain temperature represents the total emissive power Eb, as the
temperature increases, the area increases and therefore Eb increases.
9.5 EMISSIVITY
The emissivity of a surface is defined as the ratio of radiation emitted by the surface to
the radiation emitted by a black body at the same temperature. It is denoted by , and it
varies between 0 and 1.
The emissivity of a real surface varies with the temperature of the surface as well as the
wavelength and direction of emitted radiation. The emissivity of a surface at a certain
wavelength is called spectral emissivity . The emissivity in a certain direction is called
directional emissivity θ, where θ is the angle between the direction of radiation and the
normal to the surface. The emissivity of a surface averaged over all directions is called
the hemispherical emissivity, and the emissivity averaged over all wavelengths is called
the total emissivity.
E(T) is the total emissivity of a real surface at temperature (T).

E(T) = ε(T)∙T4
Thus, Spectral emissivity or monochromatic emissivity is defined in a similar manner
where E(T) is the spectral or monochromatic emissive power of the real surface.
When the emissivity of the material does not change with temperature, it is called a
gray body. A gray body has a constant monochromatic emissivity , with respect to
wavelength as shown in Diagram (9.4).
Diagram 9.4 Emmissivities of real surface, gray body and black body
Thus, a gray body has a characteristic emissivity value (< 1) which does not vary with
temperature.
The monochromatic emissive power, , of a real surface can vary significantly from
black body emissive power, as illustrated in Diagram 9.5.
This is due to the fact that E = Eb. Since for the real surface is a characteristic of the
surface and not the temperature of the surface, the area under the real surface Eb curve
will not be a constant fraction of the area under the Eb curve as the temperature varies.

It’s sate that “The ratio of emissive power to absorptive power same for all surface at the
same temperature.”

state the same temperature as that of the interior of the space and thereafter will
radiate as much energy as it receives.
Let I be the radiant energy falling upon the body per unit time per unit surface area, E1
be the total emissive power of the body and, 1 be the absorptivity of the body.
At steady state,
Energy absorbed = Energy emitted
IA1 1 = E1 A1
Otherwise there would be an energy flow in to or out of the body which would raise or
lower its temperature.
If we replace the body in the enclosure with black body of the same shape and surface
area, and allow it to come to equilibrium which enclosure at the same temperature.
IA1 B = Eb A1
I = Eb/B [9.8]
From Eqns. (9.7) and (9.8), we have
ε = [9.9]
Equation (9.9) is Kirchhoff’s identity.
This is Kirchhoff’s law which states that the emissivity of the surface of a body is equal to
its absorptivity when the body is in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.
A black body in addition to being a perfect absorber (B = 1) is also a perfect emitter (B
= 1) of radiant energy.
Kirchhoff’s law also holds for monochromatic radiation, for which
Therefore,
= ε [9.10]
Eq. (9.10) shows, the monochromatic absorptivity at the same wavelength.
Therefore, the monochromatic emissivity of a body is equal to the monochromatic
absorptivity at the same wavelength.
Now we know that

9.7 CONCEPT OF BLACK BODY
Black body is a substance which absorbs all the radiation incident on its surface. Ex.
Charcole, lamp black, etc.
Good absorbers are also good emitters in the state of thermal equilibrium.
A black body has the property of absorbing photons of all wave length. The radiation
incident of the body appears to black.
If a light ray is incident of the hole, then its fails to come out of the hole because it
suffers the multiple reflections in state that the enclosure hole is the black body
(Diagram 9.7).
Diagram 9.7 Black body cavity
Suppose the energy emitted from a portion of the surface in the cavity is Eb. After one
reflection, this becomes ρEb, after two reflections, ρ2Eb, etc. Let us suppose the
radiation leaving the hole of this cavity to be composed of rays which have been directly
radiated, reflected once, twice, etc.
Then the energy emitted from the hole is
E = εEb + ρεEb + ρ2 εEb + = εEb (1 + ρ + ρ2 + )
The energy streaming out from the hole is black body radiation.
9.8 PLANCK'S LAW OF RADIATION
Planck’s introduced the quantum concept in 1900 and with it the idea that radiation is
emitted not in a continuous energy state but in discrete amounts or quanta. The
intensity of radiation emitted by a black body, derived by Planck, is
where Ib is the intensity of radiation from a black body between wavelengths and +
d.
The total emissive power between wavelengths and +d is
Suppose

10 Chapter 9: Radiation Heat Transfer
Planck's law is the basic law of thermal radiation. From this law it follows that the
emissive power Eb by individual isotherms passes through a maximum, as shown in
Diagram 9.8. With wavelengths = 0 and = it vanishes.

The amount of energy radiated from a black body Eb as a function of wave length, now
dividing both side T5 in Eq. (9.14), then we get
The fraction of total energy radiated between 1 and 2 is given by
Similarly we get
The value of Eb0(T) are given as a function of product of T.
9.9 RAYLEIGH-JEANS' LAW
Planck's law has two extreme cases. One of the extreme cases is the condition T ≫ C2,
then C2/T ≪ 1
This equation is known as Rayleigh-Jeans law which is found to be valid for large
wavelengths.

The unity present in the denominator of Eq. (9.15) can be neglected, and the
relationship becomes
This equation is known as Wien's law, which is found to be valid for short wavelengths.
9.11 WIEN'S DISPLACEMENT LAW
The maximum values of the emissive power Eb can be obtained by differentiating
Planck's equation (9.15) with respect to and equating it to zero.
Put C2 /T = x and rearranging
The solution of above equation is
max T = 2.898 103 mK [9.21]
This above equation is termed as Wien's displacement law. Here, max is the wavelength
at which Eb is the maximum at a particular temperature. The value of (Eb)max shifts
towards the shorter wavelengths with increasing temperature.
Diagram 9.9
The maximum emissive power of a black body can be found from Planck's law; = max is
replaced from Eq. (9.15).
(Eb)max = C3 T5 W/m3 [9.22]
where the constant C3 = 1.287 105 W/m3 K5. From Eq. (9.22) it follows that the
magnitude of (Eb)max proportional to the fifth power of the absolute temperature of the
body.

This is also equal to the ratio of area A1 to the total area under the curves at T (Diagram

In general, however, the emissivity of real surfaces varies with wavelength. If the

The total average absorptivity can be similarly obtained from the distribution of
monochromatic absorptivity .
If a plot of with is known, can be obtained from the above equation.
9.15 INTENSITY OF RADIATION
The intensity of radiation, I is defined as the rate of heat radiation in a given direction
from a surface per unit solid angle per unit area of the projection of the surface on a
plane normal to the direction of radiation (Diagram 9.13).
Diagram 9.14
A solid angle is defined as the ratio of the spherical surface enclosed by a cone, with its
vertex at the centre of the sphere, to the square of the radius of the sphere (Diagram
9.13). The solid angle subtended by the spherical surface dA at the centre would be
dA/r2, where r is the radius of the sphere. If dA = r2, the solid angle subtended is 1
steradian. The whole spherical surface subtends at the centre an angle of 4 steradian
or 1 steragon.
Let us consider the radiation emitted from an elemental black surface of area dA1 at the
temperature T (Diagram 9.14).

Total radiation in the entire hemisphere is
The emissive power of a black body is times the intensity of the emitted radiation.
Thus, the intensity I depends only on temperature T.
The total emissive power per unit area will be, if the surface does not radiate diffusely,
then
Lambert's Cosine Law
The law states that the total emissive power Eθ from a radiating plane surface in any
direction is directly proportional to the cosine of angle of emission.
Eθ = E cos θ [9.36]
9.16 RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER EXCHANGE BETWEEN TWO BLACK
BODIES
The radiant heat exchange between two bodies depends upon
1. The views the surfaces have of each other, i.e. how they "see" each other.
2. Their emitting and absorbing characteristics and
3. The medium that intervenes the two bodies.
Let us assume that the two bodies are black and the medium in nonparticipating in the
energy exchange.
Suppose that the area elements dA1 and dA2 on the two surfaces (Diagram 9.15). The
distance between them is r and the angles made by the normals to the two area
elements with the line joining them are ϕ1 and ϕ2 respectively. The projected area of dA1
in the direction of radiation is dA1 cos ϕ1.

Now solid angle is
Energy leaving dA1 and intercepted (and absorbed, since the surface is black) by dA2 is
Since I is independent of the direction the energy emitted per unit of area dA1, per unit
solid angle is proportional to the cosine of the angle ϕ1. This is named as Lambert's
cosine law.
From Eq. (9.34)
The total radiation leaving A1 and being absorbed by A2 is
where
Energy leaving dA2 and intercepted by dA1 is
The total radiation leaving A1 and being absorbed by A2 is

The net energy exchange between A1 and A2, then

) [9.42]
From equation (9.39) and (9.41),
Here, 12 is called the shape factor of A1 with respect to A2. This is the fraction of energy
leaving A1 that strikes A2 (and is absorbed, because the surface is black).
Similarly, 21 is the shape factor of A2 with respect to A1 which is also the fraction of
energy leaving A2 that strikes A1 (and is absorbed).
Since the values of 12 and 21 depend on how the two surfaces are exposed to each other
or "see" each other, these are also called view factors, geometry factors or configuration
factors. Unless A1 = A2, 12 = 21. But
A1 12 = A2 21 [9.43]
This is known as the reciprocity theorem.

In addition, the reciprocity theorem holds true for any two surfaces of the enclosure.
The decomposition of one or both the surfaces into subdivisions produces a combination

Diagram 9.22
Solution: Suppose that the shape factor for radiation from A3 to the combined area A1,2
is desired. This shape factor must be given very simply as
3−1,2 = 3−1 + 3−2 [a]
that is, the total shape factor is the sum of its parts. We could also write Equation (a) as
A3 3−1,2 = A3 3−1 + A3 3−2 [b]
and making use of the reciprocity relations
A3 3−1,2 = A1,2 1,2−3
A3 3−1 = A1 1−3
A3 3−2 = A2 2−3
the expression could be rewritten
A1,2 1,2−3 = A1 1−3 + A2 2−3 [c]

Then AB = A1-2, AC = A3-4.
AB B−C = A1 1−C + A2 2−C [a]
Since radiation leaving the surface B is the sum of radiation leaving the surface A1 and
A2, A1 1−C will be
A1 1−C = A1 1−3 + A1 1−4 [b]
AB B−3 = A1 1−3 + A2 2−3 [c]
A1 1−3 = AB B−3 – A2 2−3 = A1–2 1,2−3 – A2 2−3 [d]

Now
Using equation (9.57)
If A1 = A2, then
If the surface 2 does not "see" the surface 1, there is no direct incident radiation on
surface 2 from surface 1, then
If A1 = A2, and 1–2 = 0 then
Equations (9.57) and (9.58) solve many furnace problems. But these are in error because
the temperatures of the surfaces are not uniform in practice. Hottel extended this type of
analysis to multisurface cases, each surface being at a uniform temperature.
9.20 RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER BETWEEN GRAY BODIES
Calculation of radiant heat exchange between black surfaces is relatively easy, since all
the radiant energy which strikes a surface is absorbed. Once the geometrical shape
factor has been determined, the calculation of heat transfer is quite simple. This is,
however, not the case with nonblack bodies, since all the radiation striking a surface is
not absorbed, some part is reflected. Also the emissivities and absorptivities are not
uniform in all directions and for all wavelengths. The problem is somewhat simplified if
the bodies are considered gray in which case and are constant over the entire spectrum
of wavelength and so their average values are equal irrespective of temperatures, i.e.
= .
Since the transmissivity is zero for solid bodies, + ρ = 1 and for a gray body, the
reflectivity of the surface is considered as an additional parameter.
Radiant Exchange between Two Small Gray Bodies
Let us consider two gray bodies, represented by suffix 1 and 2, having emissivity’s 1 and
2. Let us suppose that the bodies are small compared with the distance between them.
It may thus be assumed that of the radiation unabsorbed and reflected diffusely at each
surface, a negligible proportion returns to the original emitting body.
The energy emitted by the body 1 is 1A1(T1)4 of which 12[1A1(T1)4] is incident on the
second body, of which 2 12[1A1(T1)4] is absorbed. Since the bodies are gray, 2 = 2 and
energy transfer from 1 to 2 is

Q12 = A1 12 12
Similarly
Q21 = A2 12 21
Therefore, the net radiant heat transfer between the two bodies is
(Q12)net = A1 12 12 (
) [9.62]
The equivalent emissivity eq of two small gray bodies is
eq = 1 2 [9.63]
This is also called the view factor 12 for gray bodies
12 = 1 2 [9.64]
In practice, of course, a portion of the reflected radiation from each is returned to the
other body and reradiated so that the true equivalent emissivity eq or l2 is greater than
that given by Eq. (9.63), which gives, in fact, the least possible value.
Radiant Exchange between Two Small Gray Bodies
The radiant interchange between two infinite parallel gray planes involves no geometry
factor, since l2 = 21 = 1.0.
Let us consider two gray planes, as shown in Diagram 9.29. For gray surfaces, according
to Kirchhoff’s law = and ρ = 1–. Surface 1 emits E1 per unit time and area. Surface
2 absorbs the fraction 2E1 and reflects (1– 2)E1 back towards A1. The net heat
transferred per unit of surface 1 to 2 is the emission E1 minus the fraction of E1 and E2
which is ultimately absorbed by surface 1 after successive reflections. Therefore,

9.21 RADIOSITY AND IRRADIATION
In calculating radiant heat transfer from gray surfaces, two terms will now be
introduced. Radiosity is the term used to indicate the total radiant energy leaving a
surface per unit time and per unit surface area. It is denoted by the symbol J. This
quantity differs from the emissive power in that the radiosity includes reflected energy
as well as the original emission, regardless of any directional dependence or spectral
preference.
Irradiation is the term used to denote the total radiation incident on a surface per unit
time and per unit surface area. It is denoted by the symbol G.
Diagram 9.31 (a) Surface energy balance for opaque material; (b) Radiosity and irradiation in a
gray body; (c) element representing “surface resistance” in the radiation-network method
Now the term radiosity is the sum of the energy emitted and the energy reflected, when
no energy is transmitted as shown in Diagram 9.31(b), so that
The net energy leaving the surface is the difference between the radiosity and
irradiation
From Eq. (9.71),
Substituting in Eq. (9.72),
Equation (9.73) provides a basis for network representation of the gray enclosure. If the
numerator on the right side is considered as the potential difference, the denominator as
the "surface resistance” to radiation heat transfer and the heat flow as current, then a
network element could be drawn, as shown in Diagram 9.31(c).

The net energy interchange between two surfaces is
Since A1 12 = A2 21,
We may thus construct a network element (Diagram 32(b)) which represents Eq. (9.74).
The denominator 1/(A1 12) is called the "space resistance" and the numerator (J1 – J2) is
the potential difference.
9.22 RADIATION NETWORK FOR GRAY SURFACES EXCHANGING ENERGY
To construct a network for a particular radiation heat transfer problem, we only have to
connect a "surface resistance", (1–)/A, to each surface and a "space resistance",
1/(Ax xy), between the radiosity potentials.

The network method can be conveniently used to solve the problem of energy exchange
between two gray surfaces connected by a nonconducting and reradiating surface to
form an enclosure (Diagram 9.28). Diagram 9.28 will get modified, since unlike black
surfaces, gray surfaces have surface resistance. The corresponding radiation network for
the system is shown in Diagram 9.35.

9.26 RADIATION FROM CAVITIES
The emission of radiant energy from cavities of regular geometrical shapes (Diagram
9.41) can be estimated.
Diagram 9.41 Radiant emission from cavities
Let us consider the conical cavity, as shown in Diagram 9.41(a), which is of diameter D,
height H, lateral length L, semi-vertex angle and surface area A1. The temperature T1
of the surface is uniform. Part of the radiation from the surface falls on itself, of which a
portion is absorbed and the remainder is reflected.

Let us consider an imaginary flat surface A2 closing the cavity (Diagram 9.42). Since A1

9.27 APPARENT EMISSIVITY OF A CAVITY
Consider the cavity shown in Diagram 9.43 having an internal concave surface area A i
and emissivity i radiating out through the opening with area A0. The cavity exchanges
radiant energy with a surrounding at Ts having an area that is large compared to the
area of the opening.
If one considers the imaginary surface A0 covering the opening and exchanging heat

9.28 THE RADIATION HEAT-TRANSFER COEFFICIENT
Frequently in engineering analysis, convection and radiation occur simultaneously
rather than as isolated phenomena. An important approximation in such cases is the
linearization of the radiation contribution so that
Qtotal = Qconvection + Qradiation
htotal = hconvection + hradiation
where
In terms of reference temperature TR,
Here TR is a reference temperature, and T1 and T2 are the respective surface
temperatures. In effect, equation (9.116) represents a straight-line approximation to the
radiant heat transfer as illustrated in Diagram 9.44.

9.29 RADIATION FROM GASES AND VAPOURS
Gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, dry air, etc. are transparent to thermal
radiation, i.e. these gases neither emit nor absorb radiant energy at the temperature of
interest. On the other hand, some gases and vapours such as CO2, CO, H2O, SO2, NH3,
hyrocarbons, etc. absorb and emit radiant energy significantly. Of these gases, CO2 and
H2O vapour are the most important so far as the atmosphere and the industrial furnaces
are concerned.
Diagram 9.45 Emission and absorption bands of gas radiation
There are, however, certain differences between radiation from gases and that from
solids.
(1) Solids radiate and absorb energy at all wavelengths over the entire spectrum
(from = 0 to = ). Gases like CO2 and H2O emit and absorb radiation only
between narrow ranges of wavelengths termed as bands (Diagram 9.45). Gases
are, therefore, named as selective radiators.
(2) For a solid body, the emission and absorption of radiation are essentially surface
phenomena. But in calculating the radiation emitted or absorbed by a gas layer,
its thickness, pressure and shape as well as surface area must be taken into
account. Incident radiation is slowly absorbed by the gas layer, the intensity
decreasing with the thickness of the layer.

9.30 ABSORPTIVITY OF GASES
When monochromatic radiation at an intensity I0 passes through a gas layer of
thickness L as shown in Diagram 9.46, the radiant energy absorption in a differential
distance dx is governed by the equation
Diagram 9.46 Absorption of radiant energy by a gas layer
where Ix is the radiation intensity at a distance x from the wall where the intensity is
I0 and k is the monochromatic absorption coefficient. The decrease in intensity is
proportional to Ix as well as dx, and the constant of proportionality is k.
The integration of Eq. (9.119) gives
The radiation intensity IL decreases exponentially with the thickness of gas layer L.
Thus is known as Beer’s law.
Now according to our definition, the monochromatic transmissivity will be
If the gas is non reflecting, then
Amount of energy absorbed in the gas layer
where G = 1– exp(–kL) is called the monochromatic absorptivity of the gas. By
Kirchhoff’s law,
For large values of L, G = 1. Thus, for thick gas layers, gas approaches black body
radiation within the wavelength bands.
To find the effective absorptivity G or emissivity G of a gas volume over all wavelength
bands, the total intensity of radiation at a distance x is
and at length L,

where G = 1– exp(–kL) and k is the total absorption coefficient. It may be noted that k
is not generally equal to k.

where ’G is the absorptivity of the gas at TG for incident radiation at Tw.
Hence, the net rate of radiant heat exchange between the gas and the black enclosure is
where ’G is not known, an approximation can be made by using G, i.e. the absorptivity
of the gas at Tw for incident radiation from a black body at Tw, instead of G.
For a gray enclosure having an emissivity w for its wall, the net heat exchange may
approximately be obtained by
