Abstract
This chapter focuses on radiative transfer from one surface to another, as the surface generally emits radiation in all directions simultaneously. It explains how the radiation leaving the source will impinge on the receiving surface if the receiving surface is located some distance away from the radiation source. It also highlights the concept of view factor, which takes the geometry of the thermal radiation system into account. The chapter cites several examples of a view factor chart, where the view factor is plotted as a function of the geometry or two parallel plates and two perpendicular plates. It mentions the Cosine Law that provides the method for calculating any view factor where the geometry is defined.
