Laws of Radiant Heat Transfer and Exchange
TE-110
Thermal radiation is a non-material-bound energy transport by means of electromagnetic oscillations in a certain wavelength range. Anybody with a temperature above zero Kelvin emits radiation known as thermal radiation. Thermal radiation includes UV radiation, light radiation and infrared radiation. Light radiation covers the wavelength range visible to the human eye.
The TE 110 experimental unit contains two radiation sources: a heat radiator and a light emitter. Thermal radiation is detected by means of a thermopile. Light radiation is recorded by means of a luxmeter with photodiode. Various optical elements such as apertures, absorption plates or color filters can be set up between the emitter and the detector. All components are mounted on an optical bench. The distance between the optical elements can be read from a scale along the optical bench.
Luxmeter, thermopile and light emitter can be rotated to study how the angle of incidence affects the radiation intensity. The angles are read off the angular scale.
The optical elements are used to investigate the reflection, absorption and transmission of different materials at different wavelengths and temperatures. The radiant power of both emitters can be adjusted. The aim of the experiments is to check optical laws: e.g., Kirchhoff’s law of radiation, the Stefan-Boltzmann law, Lambert’s distance and direction law.
The measured values are displayed digitally on the measuring amplifier. The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB where they can be analyzed using the software included.
