Abstract

Thermal (2.0 μ - 5.6 μm) measurements of the normal emittance (EN) of several diathermanous materials were made at 15.2°C, 4.9°C and -5.6°C. Calculations of the total hemis-pherical emittance (EH) were made from EN and plotted against the optical depth (YΔλx). A comparison of these data with a model proposed by Gardon indicates that at near-ambient temperatures they agree very closely. It has been observed that EN > EH by ≈ 5% for both weakly and strongly absorbing materials. This is attributable to phase differences in the multiply reflected internal radiation attempting to exit the specimen throughout π steradians. Other radiation properties of the materials, i.e. diffuse transmittance (TD), absorption coefficient yΔx, and absorption index k were calculated.
