Dear Kevin I have enjoyed your experiments. I was wondering I you could get a different temperature from the mirror by trying to receive different incident angles. At some point there will be a very effective reflection off the surface of the glass, not the mirrored surface behind it.
Because glass is a pretty good absorber of IR it is also a pretty good emitter. One thing for sure, when testing a new surface you should calibrate the emissivity using a contact thermocouple - often provided with the unit if the emissivity is adjustable. Frank has that sort. Regards Crispin PS anyone see the CME impact in N America? -----Original Message----- From: "Kevin" <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Thu, 8 Mar 2012 22:23:06 To: <[email protected]>; Discussion of biomass cooking stoves<[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion of biomass cooking stoves <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Stoves] radiant heat capture, total heat measurement _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/ _______________________________________________ Stoves mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site: http://www.bioenergylists.org/
