Thermal Radiation Fundamentals

This publication is intended primarily as a resource for a graduate course in thermal radiation heat transfer in engineering. The book would also be very useful for researchers and designers of heat transfer equipment. The text takes an holistic view, treating radiation as a volumetric phenomenon, and then treating surface radiation as a special case. A CD containing a popular engineering software package is included for the solving of radiation problems, and the smoothed-band model is introduced for handling gaseous exchange.
