Radiation
The changes in the electron configurations of the constituent
atoms or molecules results in the emission of electromagnetic
waves (photons).

Thermal radiations can be absorbed, reflected and transmitted by a

body.

Problem 1.65
During its manufacture, plate glass at 600oC is cooled by passing
air over its surface such that the convection heat transfer
coefficient is h= 5W/m2 K. To prevent cracking, it is known that the
temperature gradient must not exceed 15 oC/mm at any point in
the glass during the cooling process. If the thermal conductivity of
the glass is 1.4 W/m-K and its surface emissivity is 0.8, what is the
lowest temperature of the air that can initially be used for the
cooling? Assume that the temperature of the air equals that of the
surroundings.
