This ebook is part of a 9-volume series titled “Software Solutions to Problems on Heat Transfer,” authored by Dr. M. Thirumaleshwar and published by Bookboon.
The series provides comprehensive coverage of all major Heat Transfer topics — Conduction, Convection, Radiation, Boiling, and Heat Exchangers — using a software-integrated approach with Mathcad for solving real-world engineering problems.
These two volumes focus on Thermal Radiation:
Part I introduces fundamental concepts — blackbody and gray-body radiation, emissive power, absorptivity, reflectivity, transmissivity, and the laws governing radiative heat exchange.
Part II deals with radiation exchange between surfaces, configuration factors (view factors), radiation shields, enclosures, and the use of network methods and iterative computational solutions.
Each volume combines theoretical explanations, solved examples, and Mathcad-based computational techniques, making the treatment both rigorous and practical.
All ebooks in this series are freely available for educational and non-commercial use, intended to serve students, teachers, and engineers in thermal sciences.
