Definitions

n.名词 noun
  1. 1

    Thermodynamics.

    • : the ability of a surface to emit radiant energy compared to that of a black body at the same temperature and with the same area.

Examples

  • Low-e, for “low emissivity,” refers to a microscopically thin coating of metallic particles that reflect some wavelengths of light while allowing most of the visible wavelengths to pass through.

  • Values which are commonly given for the surface emissivity must therefore be accepted with great reserve.

  • The emissivity increases with the temperature, else no state of thermal equilibrium could be reached.

  • Although these mantles emitted a brilliant light for a few hours, their light-emissivity was destroyed by carbonization.
