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.
