Type of article: Article

Summary

THIS NOTE DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE NEED FOR 3 SEPARATE MEASURES OF RADIANT TEMPERATURE IN A ROOM: THE LOCAL VALUE, ITS SPACE-AVERAGED VALUE, AND THE RADIANT STAR TEMPERATURE (< MEAN RADIANT TEMPERATURE > MIGHT REFER TO ANY OF THESE). A STUDY OF ROOM RADIANT EXCHANGE REQUIRES EXPLICIT CONSIDERATION OF THE ROLE OF SURFACE EMISSIVITY, AND OF THE EFFECT OF LONG-WAVE ENERGY FLOW FROM AN INTERNAL HEAT SOURCE. IT IS POINTED OUT THAT THE CONDUCTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EXCHANGE (AND ALSO THE CONVECTIVE EXCHANGE) ARE < LARGE >, WHILE THE RADIANT AND CONVECTIVE CONDUCTANCES ASSOCIATED WITH COMFORT TEMPERATURE ARE < SMALL >.
