Introduction:
- Heat transfer can take place without any medium. This type of heat transfer is known as heat radiation. In radiative heat transfer, the heat energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation.
- The rate of heat transfer through radiation is given by Stefan-Boltzmann's law of radiation. It is given by,
Here σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, e is the emissivity which defines how well an object radiates energy, A is the area, and T is the absolute temperature in kelvin.
