Thermal Radiative Transfer and Properties

Download or read book Thermal Radiative Transfer and Properties written by M. Quinn Brewster and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1992-04-16 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not only enables readers to include radiation as part of their design and analysis but also appreciate the radiative transfer processes in both nature and engineering systems. Offers two distinguishing features--a whole chapter devoted to the classical dispersion theory which lays a foundation for the discussion of radiative properties presented throughout and a detailed description of particle radiative properties, including real particle size distribution effects. Presents numerous realistic and instructive illustrations and problems involving current topics such as planetary heat transfer, satellite thermal control, atmospheric radiation, radiation in industrial and propulsion combustion systems and more.
