Thermal Radiation from a Hemispherical Source in Contact with an Infinite Lambert Plane

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Expressions are derived for the radiant energy emanating directly from a hemispherical source, the energy per unit area reflected from an infinite Lambert plane, and the energy received by a surface due to reflections from the plane. Numerically derived values for these energies are presented as fractions of E/2πR2 for the direct energy and aE/2πR2 for the reflected energies, where E is total emitted energy, R is the distance between receiver and center of hemisphere, and a is the albedo of the plane. Self-shadowing by the hemisphere is shown to be a significant factor even at very long ranges.
