    Study Notes

    Planck's Law

    • Describes the wavelength distribution of thermal radiation emitted by a blackbody
    • Spectral emissive power is expressed in W/m2µm
    • Planck's law equation involves constants: Planck's constant (ℎ), speed of light in vacuum (𝑐0), Boltzmann's constant (𝑘𝐵), and two radiation constants (C1 and C2)

    Wien's Displacement Law

    • Describes the relation between blackbody temperature and the wavelength with maximum spectral emissive power
    • The product of maximum wavelength (𝜆𝑚𝑎𝑥) and absolute temperature (T) is a constant (C3): 𝜆𝑚𝑎𝑥 ∙ 𝑇 = 𝐶3 = 2898 𝜇𝑚 𝐾

    Stephan-Boltzmann's Law

    • The total emissive power of a blackbody is obtained by integrating Planck's law
    • The total emissive power (Eb) is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature (T): 𝐸𝑏 = 𝜎 ∙ 𝑇4
    • The Stefan-Boltzmann constant (𝜎) is 5,67·10−8 W∕m2 K4

    Blackbody Radiation Tables

    • Used to determine absorbed or emitted power in a certain wavelength interval
    • 𝐹0−𝜆 represents the share of thermal radiation energy emitted from a blackbody with absolute temperature T in the wavelength range from 0 to 
    • 𝐸0−𝜆 is the blackbody emissive power in the wavelength range from 0 to 𝜆 and it's calculated with: 𝐸0−𝜆 = 𝐹0−𝜆 ∙ 𝜎 ∙ 𝑇4
    • 𝐸𝜆1−𝜆2 represents the blackbody emissive power in the wavelength range from 𝜆1 to 𝜆2 and it's calculated with: 𝐸𝜆1−𝜆2 = 𝐹𝜆1−𝜆2 ∙ 𝜎 ∙ 𝑇4
    • 𝐹𝜆1−𝜆2 is the share of emitted power from a blackbody in the wavelength range from 𝜆1 to 𝜆2 and it's calculated with: 𝐹𝜆1−𝜆2 = 𝐹0−𝜆2 − 𝐹0−𝜆1

    Energy Conservation Law

    • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form of energy to another
    • Thermal radiation balance for semitransparent surfaces: 𝛼𝜆 + 𝜌𝜆 + 𝜏𝜆 = 1 and 𝛼+𝜌+𝜏 =1

    From Spectral to Total Radiative Properties

    • Integral values of radiative properties are preferred in engineering practice
    • For solar radiation: 0,3-3 𝜇m
    • For longwave radiation: 3-100 𝜇m
    • For light: 0,38-0,76 𝜇m
    • For atmospheric window: ≈8-13 𝜇m
    • Total emissivity (𝜖) can be calculated by integrating spectral emissivity (𝜀𝜆) over the considered wavelength range
    • For surfaces with gray surface behavior (𝛼𝜆 = 𝜖𝜆), blackbody functions (𝐹0−𝜆) can be used to calculate total properties
    • Caution: Temperature in ·T is different for solar and longwave radiation

    Solar Energy Transmissivity

    • Example: Determining solar energy transmissivity (𝜏𝑠) of low Fe oxide glass with a thickness of 6 mm
    • Total transmissivity (𝜏𝑠) can be calculated by multiplying spectral transmissivity (𝜏𝜆) with blackbody function values in corresponding wavelength ranges

    Radiation Characteristics

    • Energy balance of a surface exposed to solar radiation includes conduction, convection, and radiation
    • Properties that determine the absorption and reflection of radiation affect the surface temperature (𝜃𝑠𝑒)
    • Radiative heat transfer between two parallel plates with narrow gap depends on emissivity values and temperatures of the plates

    Solar Collector Absorber

    • Should possess high absorptivity for shortwave (solar) radiation (𝛼𝑠)
    • Should have low thermal radiation heat losses (𝜖𝐼𝑅)
    • The selectivity (S) of a solar collector absorber is defined as the ratio of absorptivity to emissivity (𝛼𝑠/𝜖𝐼𝑅)

    Semi-selective Absorbers

    • High absorptivity for shortwave (solar) radiation
    • Low thermal radiation heat losses
    • The selectivity (S) of semi-selective absorbers is usually around 2 or higher

    Cool Coatings

    • Reduce heat gains and material expansion
    • Reflective paints are not suitable for this application
