DoD Project: 7350
DoD Task: 735002
Identifier: AD0426665
Abstract:
Measurements obtained using a carbon arc image furnace indicate that the spectral reflectance and emissivity of carbon and graphite samples in the visible region of the spectrum are strongly dependent on surface finish, but are independent of temperature to at least 3000°K, regard less of surface finish. Discrepancies with other measurements of emissivity are indicated to be caused by errors in the measurement of surface temperature, due to thermal gradients. Information has been obtained with the carbon arc image furnace indicating that the thermal conductivity of surface material depends strongly on surface finish and is smaller than the conductivity of substrate material.
