Ambient Radiation

fullflow.AmbientRadiation

Radiation exchange between a surface and an ambient enclosure.

AmbientRadiation computes radiative heat transfer between a solid surface and a surrounding ambient enclosure. Positive heat rate indicates net radiative heat transfer to the solid surface from the ambient surroundings.
