Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

6.1.3 Heat transfer by radiation: Stefan-Boltzmann

Course subject(s) 6. Radiation

Welcome to the last week of the course ‘Advanced Transport Phenomena’. You’ve almost made it! This last week is about a completely new subject: radiation. Do you now immediately think of danger? Or did you already know that radiation is everywhere and not necessarily dangerous?

Radiation can be explained as energy, in the form of particles or  waves, that is travelling through space and it can also cause heat transport. For example, solar radiation is great! Do you want to know why? Go to the next page and watch the spark!
