(Thermodynamics)
Module 1
4. Module 1
Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics:
1. Energy is always conserved; it is never lost.
2. Heat always travels from a “hot” region to a “colder”
region.
Therefore, the issue is:
• Flow of Heat
• Heat Flow
•Heat Transfer

• The closer to the sun a body is, the more rays it will intercept.
• Closer to the sun, the intensity can be so great that we could
not survive.

radiation on the walls than on the roof.

it’s radiation on the roof.

Infrared (thermal) heat rays travel…
•Away from every point on
the surface.
•In a straight line.
•In any direction.
•With the greatest
intensity perpendicular to
the surface.
•With the least intensity
parallel with the receiving
surface (zero intensity).
30. Module 3
Heat Transfer (II)
The radiation from a metal roof, a concrete surface
or other opaque material originates within a few
microns of the surface; hence emissivity (the rate of
radiation emitted by a given surface) is a function of
the surface state of a material rather than of its bulk
properties.
For this reason, the emissivity of a coated or painted
surface is characteristic of the coating rather than of
the underlying surface.

What’s a Black Body?
•A theoretical body
•With properties such that…
•It will absorb all (100%) radiation falling on its
surface
•Reflecting and transmitting none
•But it will emit radiation depending on its
absolute temperature.
34. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Black Body Radiation
•Allows no convection
•Reflects no radiation In-coming irradiation
•Transmits no radiation (energy)
Emits radiation Absorbs all radiation
(depending on its (energy converts to heat)
absolute temperature)
(Absorptivity) + (Reflectivity) + τ (Transmissivity) = 1
35. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Black Body Radiation
(Absorptivity) + (Reflectivity) + τ (Transmissivity) = 1
A+R+T=1
Since there is no Reflectivity R=0
&
Since there is no Transmissivity T=0
Then
Absoptivity must equal one A=1
36. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Black Body Radiation
•No Reflectivity In-coming irradiation
•No Transmissivity (G)
•No Convection
Absorbs all radiation
Emits ( ε ) all radiation (energy converts to heat)
If all in-coming G (energy) is absorbed,
then all in-coming G (energy) is emitted, therefore ε = 1
Kirchoff’s Identity
37. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Emissivity ( ε )
• The rate at which radiant heat energy is emitted by
a given surface.
• “The ratio of the thermal radiation from unit
area of a surface to the radiation from unit area
of a full emitter (black body) at the same
temperature”
• It is a physical property… just like weight, color,
shape, etc.
• All materials have an emissivity ranging from
zero to one (100%).
38. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Emissivity ( ε )
• The rate of radiation emanating from a surface.
(the emissivity of an object’s surface is related to the
ability of that surface to absorb heat rays.)
• Total Emissive Power of a Black Body:
Eb = σT4

Grey Body Radiation
•A grey body is a non-ideal emitter or an
imperfect radiator.
•A grey body will:
•absorb some of the energy it will receive.
•reflect some of the energy it will receive.
•emit the energy it absorbs.
•A grey body is opaque: τ = 0
42. Module 4

In-coming irradiation (G) Reflected energy

(energy converts to heat)
Emitted ( ε ) energy Convected energy
43. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Grey Body Radiation
(Absorptivity) + (Reflectivity) + τ (Transmissivity) = 1
A+R+T=1
Since there is no Transmissivity T=0
then
Reflectivity + Absorptivity = 1 A+R=1
Since there is Reflectivity R=>0
then
Absorptivity must be: A=<0
therefore
Emissivity must be less than 1 ε=<1
44. Module 4
Processes in
Radiation
Emissive Power of a Grey Body
•Real surfaces emit less radiation than ideal
“black body” surface.
•The ratio of actual emissive power [E] to the
emissive power of a black body at the same
temperature [Eb] is called the emissivity.
•It is defined by
ε = E/Eb

• Resistance to heat flow is the reciprocal of C, k, or U:

heat transfer by conduction.

transmission” in Btus in one hour through one sq. ft.
area of the entire depth of ceiling, roof, wall, or floor,
