Thermal Radiation [PDF ebook] 
An Introduction

Thermal Radiation: An Introduction is a complete textbook for a one-semester introductory graduate course on radiative energy transfer. It bridges the gap between a basic introduction and comprehensive coverage of thermal radiation, focusing on insight into radiative transfer as practiced by engineers. Covering radiative transfer among surfaces, with an introduction to the effects of participating media between surfaces, the book includes surface and medium property characteristics and solutions to the radiative transfer equation in simple geometries. Tailored and organized specifically to suit a one-semester graduate course in radiative heat transfer Emphasis is placed on insight into radiative transfer as practiced by engineers Discusses how radiation is incorporated into finite element analysis (FEA) codes The textbook is intended for instructors and graduate students in a first-year course on radiative heat transfer or advanced heat transfer. Supplementary resources for students and instructors are available online.
