Radiosity (heat transfer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Radiosity is the total of emitted and reflected radiation leaving a surface, in the fields of Optics and Heat Transfer. Hemispherical radiosity Jλ(λ) is the integral of the spectral intensity of reflected plus emitted radiation over the hemispherical solid angle[1]. The total hemispherical radiosity J is the integral of the hemispherical radiosity over all wavelengths:

J = \int_{0}^{\infty}J_{\lambda}(\lambda)d\lambda = \pi I_{e+r}
