Abstract

The radiation of heat by a hot body of gas is studied and a Stefan-Boltzmann kind of equation is developed. The proposed gas radiation equation is used to estimate the volumetric total emissivity of gas. The proposed total emissivity highlights the characteristics observed in published charts. The proposed gas radiation model requires the estimation of photon heat capacity from experimental data. Accurate estimation of total gas emission is very useful in applications involving combustion. Ideal gas and constant specific heats assumptions were used in the analysis for simplification.
