Discusses the application of Monte Carlo methods in thermal radiation analysis, focusing on probability functions and numerical integration techniques.
Explores emissivity, absorptivity, and reflectivity of surfaces, including spectral and directional properties, laws of reciprocity, and practical examples.
Covers the derivation of formal solutions to the Radiative Transfer Equation and discusses isotropic scattering, optical thickness, and Monte Carlo method applications.
Explores specular view factors and radiative exchange between partially-specular gray surfaces, including energy transfer rates and non-gray surface exchange.
Addresses the need for significant CO2 intensity reduction to achieve climate targets while examining the interplay between economic growth and carbon emissions.
