Emissivity of Body Formula Elements

Variables
Emissivity
Emissivity is the ability of an object to emit infrared energy. Emissivity can have a value from 0 (shiny mirror) to 1.0 (blackbody). Most organic or oxidized surfaces have emissivity close to 0.95.
Symbol: ε
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Emissive Power of Non Blackbody
Emissive Power of Non Blackbody is the energy of thermal radiation emitted in all directions per unit time from each unit area of surface of Non blackbody at any given temperature.
Symbol: E
Measurement: Heat Flux DensityUnit: W/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Emissive Power of Blackbody
Emissive Power of Blackbody is the energy of thermal radiation emitted in all directions per unit time from each unit area of a surface of blackbody at any given temperature.
Symbol: Eb
Measurement: Heat Flux DensityUnit: W/m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
