Course Objective

The transfer of energy by thermal radiation depends on the differences of individual absolute temperatures of the bodies each raised to a power in the range of about 4 or 5. Consequently radiation contributes substantially to the heat transfer in furnaces and combustion chambers Besides, when no medium is present, radiation becomes the only significant mode of heat transfer.The importance of such a course arose from high temperatures associated with increased engine efficiencies, the operation of devices where convection vanishes and radiation becomes the only external mode of heat transfer.
