Notes on Singular Heat Radiation
Abstract
Elements of radiation heat transfer are studied from the point of view of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics.
Continuum theory of fluxes is extended to include the transfer of energy in radiation. The formulation allows singular fields such as a beam emitted from a single point in a single direction. Mathematically, the flux field is viewed as a double de Rham 1-current which is representable by integration.
