How to Evaluate Radiosity?

Radiosity evaluator uses Radiosity = Energy Leaving Surface/(Body Surface Area*Time in seconds) to evaluate the Radiosity, The Radiosity formula is defined as convenient quantity in optics and heat transfer that represents the total radiant flux density (i.e. power per area) of the radiation leaving a surface. Radiosity is denoted by J symbol.

How to evaluate Radiosity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Radiosity, enter Energy Leaving Surface (ELeaving), Body Surface Area (SABody) & Time in seconds (tsec) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Radiosity

What is the formula to find Radiosity?
The formula of Radiosity is expressed as Radiosity = Energy Leaving Surface/(Body Surface Area*Time in seconds). Here is an example- 0.058824 = 19/(8.5*38).
How to calculate Radiosity?
With Energy Leaving Surface (ELeaving), Body Surface Area (SABody) & Time in seconds (tsec) we can find Radiosity using the formula - Radiosity = Energy Leaving Surface/(Body Surface Area*Time in seconds).
Can the Radiosity be negative?
No, the Radiosity, measured in Heat Flux Density cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Radiosity?
Radiosity is usually measured using the Watt per Square Meter[W/m²] for Heat Flux Density. Kilowatt per Square Meter[W/m²], Watt per Square Centimeter[W/m²], Watt per Square Inch[W/m²] are the few other units in which Radiosity can be measured.
