TL;DR: In this article, the basics of thermal radiation necessary for the thermal modelling of spacecraft are presented, and the equations necessary to determine the radiation exchange between diffuse, grey surfaces are obtained and written in terms of thermal resistances to apply the electrical analogy.
Abstract: This chapter presents the basics of thermal radiation necessary for the thermal modelling of spacecraft. The nature of thermal radiation is briefly described while the concept of blackbody and the Planck’s distribution, describing the spectral emissive power of a blackbody, are presented. The thermo-optical properties of a surface, emissivity, absorptance, transmittance and reflectance, are defined, and the equations necessary to determine the radiation exchange between diffuse, grey surfaces are obtained and written in terms of thermal resistances to apply the electrical analogy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of microscale heat transfer, focusing on thermal energy storage and transport, and present related topics on the transport of electrons, phonons, photons, and molecules.
Abstract: This is a graduate level textbook in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion that can also be used as a reference for researchers in the developing field of nanoengineering. It provides a comprehensive overview of microscale heat transfer, focusing on thermal energy storage and transport. Chen broadens the readership by incorporating results from related disciplines, from the point of view of thermal energy storage and transport, and presents related topics on the transport of electrons, phonons, photons, and molecules. This book is part of the MIT-Pappalardo Series in Mechanical Engineering.
