A self-contained bench-top unit to demonstrate the laws of radiant transfer.
Uses a safe, low-voltage heat source and thermopile (heat flux sensor) for radiant heat transfer experiments.
Includes plates of different heat absorption properties and apertures for extra experiments in heat transfer Uses a safe, low-voltage 'integrating sphere' light source and lux meter (light meter) for light transfer experiments.
Includes different optical filters for extra experiments in light transfer.
heat source uses a variable low-voltage electric heater on a flat plate, creating a black body heat source of variable temperature.
A thermocouple measures the heat source temperature.
A moveable thermopile measures the heat radiation from the heat source at varying distances.
Showing radiation is inversely proportional to distance squared.
Stefan-Boltzmann Law.
Kirchhoff's Law.
Area Factor.
Showing that radiation transfix depends on the exposed area of the radiant source.
