Study Notes

Heat can be transferred through convection, conduction, and radiation.
Convection involves the movement of fluids, with natural convection being driven by buoyancy and forced convection being driven by external devices.
Conduction involves the direct transfer of heat through a material.
Thermal conductors are materials that conduct heat well, while thermal insulators conduct heat poorly.
Radiation involves the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.
All objects absorb and emit electromagnetic waves, with good absorbers being good emitters and poor absorbers being poor emitters.
A perfect blackbody is an object that absorbs all radiation incident upon it and is therefore a perfect emitter.
The Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation calculates the radiant energy emitted by an object based on its surface area, Kelvin temperature, and emissivity.
The emissivity is a dimensionless number characterizing the surface of the object and lies between 0 and 1.
The net radiant power emitted by an object is the power it emits minus the power it absorbs.
