What is the Equilibrium State in Radiation Heat Transfer?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the equilibrium state in radiation heat transfer between two bodies, specifically Body A at 1000°C and Body B at 22°C. Body A continuously emits radiation, which is absorbed by Body B, increasing its internal energy. The time required for Body B to reach temperatures of 500°C or 1000°C is influenced by factors such as the temperature difference between the bodies, their surface area, and potential heat loss to the surroundings. A larger temperature differential and surface area enhance the rate of heat transfer.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of radiation heat transfer principles
  • Knowledge of thermal conductivity and material properties
  • Familiarity with the Stefan-Boltzmann law
  • Basic concepts of thermodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Stefan-Boltzmann law for calculating radiative heat transfer
  • Explore the effects of surface area on heat transfer rates
  • Study the principles of thermal equilibrium in heat transfer
  • Investigate methods to minimize heat loss to the surroundings
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, physicists, and students studying thermodynamics or heat transfer, particularly those interested in radiation heat transfer and thermal management in engineering applications.

TL;DR
I have two bodies, one at a higher temperature say 1000°C (Body A) and the other is at 22°C (Body B).
Body A emits Radiation (Surface to Surface interaction). The temperature of Body A is maintained by a constant supply of Energy.
The Body B will absorb the Radiation Energy from Body A, and its internal Energy is increased.
How long will it take for Body B to reach higher temperature (Say 500 or even 1000°C).
Please let me know the science behind this Radiation heat Transfer Equilibrium

Engineering news on Phys.org
The time it takes will depend how fast heat energy is transferred, and some qualities of the materials. Amount of heat transferred depends on some factors: a couple are difference in temperature between the 2, surface area (those are not the only factors).
In general, the heat transfers faster if the temperature difference between the two is larger. Larger surface area facilitates faster transfer, as well.

Also, the "body B" may be losing heat to the surroundings, depending on the conditions.

I hope this helps.
