The seventh edition of this timeless text presents the basic physical principles of thermal radiation while also discussing analytical and numerical approaches for quantifying radiative transfer between surfaces and within participating media. The book has newly expanded sections on surface characteristics, electromagnetic theory, scattering and absorption of particles, and close-range radiative transfer, highlighting the broader connections to thermodynamic principles. Enhanced and updated sections on inverse analysis and Monte Carlo methods reflect current research developments, including new content on production, sustainable energy, climate variation, building energy efficiency, and medical applications.

Key Features:

• Delivers comprehensive treatment of radiative transfer and radiation exchange in enclosures.

• Encompasses characteristics of surfaces and gaseous media, as well as the development and solutions of the radiative transfer equation.

• Includes expanded coverage of inverse methods, electromagnetic theory, Monte Carlo methods, and the scattering and absorption by particles.

• Features extended coverage of close-range radiative transfer theory and applications.

• Discusses electromagnetic wave theory and its application to thermal radiation transfer.

This textbook is suitable for professors and students involved in introductory or advanced graduate courses/modules in Radiative Heat Transfer within engineering programs.
