I'm not implying that units are irrelevant. I arrived at an answer for my particular problem of 9 kW, or 9 kJ/s. This is my calculation of the power within a 0.1 m^3 body of material at 1000 K and \kappa_\lambda=5/m. It seems that the units are just fine. I only disputed the quantity, as it...
Well then what is the correct answer and how do the units follow. I want you to be right but I don't see it.
By the way I don't care about reabsorption. This should be dealt with by separate terms.
On the other hand your last statement suggests that the internal volume of a black body...
I am the thread starter -- new account made since I can't access my former account.
The problem is that radiative intensity cannot be linearly proportional to the absorption coefficient, otherwise a body with an absorption coefficient greater than 1/m will emit more power than a blackbody. In...
