The image above represents total irradiation. To calculate the total irradiation, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Reflectivity (ρ), Emissive Power of First Body (e) and Emissive Power of Second Body (e2).
The formula for calculating total irradiation:
G = e2 + ρe / 1 – ρ
Where:
G = Total Irradiation
ρ = Reflectivity
e = Emissive Power of First Body
e2 = Emissive Power of Second Body
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the reflectivity is 21, the emissive power of the first body is 3, and the emissive power of the second body is 9, find the total irradiation.
This implies that;
ρ = Reflectivity = 21
e = Emissive Power of First Body = 3
e2 = Emissive Power of Second Body = 9
G = e2 + ρe / 1 – ρ
G = 9 + 21(3) / 1 – 21
So, G = 9 + 63 / -20
G = 72 / -20
G = -3.6
Therefore, the total irradiation is -3.6.
