A comprehensive discussion of heat transfer by thermal radiation is presented, including the radiative behavior of materials, radiation between surfaces, and gas radiation. Among the topics considered are property prediction by electromagnetic theory, the observed properties of solid materials, radiation in the presence of other modes of energy transfer, the equations of transfer for an absorbing-emitting gas, and radiative transfer in scattering and absorbing media. Also considered are radiation exchange between black isothermal surfaces, radiation exchange in enclosures composed of diffuse gray surfaces and in enclosures having some specularly reflecting surfaces, and radiation exchange between nondiffuse nongray surfaces. The use of the Monte Carlo technique in solving radiant-exchange problems and problems of radiative transfer through absorbing-emitting media is explained.read more

Thermal Radiation Properties of Gases
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the literature in this area is presented, with a focus on gaseous radiation properties of gases and their applications in engineering applications, where the assumption is that the radiating gas under consideration is at the state of complete or local thermodynamic equilibrium and of negligible scattering effect.

Thermodynamics of the Stars
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the changes are rather linear continua of equilibrium states and catastrophic changes are only studied in their after-effects, not in their own details of occurrence.
