Radiated Power vs Emissivity (0-1)

Stefan-Boltzmann Law

Every object radiates thermal energy proportional to the fourth power of its temperature.

Formula

P = epsilon * sigma * A * T^4

where sigma = 5.6704 x 10^-8 W/(m²·K^4) is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and epsilon is the emissivity (1 for a perfect black body).

Example Calculation

A perfect black body (epsilon=1) at 1000 K with 1 m² surface area.

  1. 01P = epsilon * sigma * A * T^4
  2. 02P = 1 * 5.6704e-8 * 1 * 1000^4
  3. 03P = 5.6704e-8 * 1e12
  4. 04P = 56,704 W = 56.7 kW
