17.1 Introduction to Radiation Heat-Transfer Concepts

17.1A Introduction and Basic Equation for Radiation

1. Nature of radiant heat transfer. In the preceding chapters of the book, we have studied conduction and convection heat transfer. In conduction, heat is transferred from one part of a body to another, and the intervening material is heated. In convection, heat is transferred by the actual mixing ...
