How to Calculate and Solve for Stefan Boltzmann’s Constant | Radiation Heat Transfer

The image above represents Stefan Boltzmann’s constant. To calculate Stefan Boltzmann’s constant, three essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Boltzmann’s Constant (KB), Planck’s Constant (h), and Speed of Light (c).

The formula for calculating Stefan Boltzmann’s constant:

σ = 2π5KB4 / 15c²h5

Where:

σ = Stefan Boltzmann’s Constant
KB = Boltzmann’s Constant
h = Planck’s Constant
c = Speed of Light

Let’s solve an example;
Find Stefan Boltzmann’s constant when the Boltzmann constant is 42, Planck’s constant is 34, and the speed of light is 26.

This implies that;

KB = Boltzmann’s Constant = 42
h = Planck’s Constant = 34
c = Speed of Light = 26

σ = 2π5KB4 / 15c²h5
σ = 2π5(42)4 / 15(26)²(34)5
That is, σ = 2(306.019)(3111696) / 15(676)(45435424)
σ = 1904480458.135 / 460715199360
σ = 0.00413

Therefore, the stefan boltzmann’s constant is 0.00413.
