Description

This is a model describing the thermal radiation, i.e., electromagnetic radiation emitted between two bodies as a result of their differing temperatures. The following constitutive equation is used:

BodyRadiation_equation1

where Gr is the radiation conductance and sigma is the BOLTZMANN constant. Gr may be determined by measurements and is assumed to be constant over the range of operations.

Parameters

    BodyRadiation_0

  • Gr [m2] : Net radiation conductance between two surfaces (see help) (Gr): Scalar.

Ports

  • Port 1 at left position: implicit input fixedport numbered 1.
  • Port 1 at right position: implicit output fixedport numbered 1.
