Long Wave Infrared

A study was carried out to examine the effect of posture (standing or lying) on the radiation heat load which would be experienced by a kangaroo resting under a small desert tree during a summer day. Measurements were made to assess the temperature and radiation characteristics in three situations judged to be equivalent to the following: (1) a kangaroo standing in the sun in open country; (2) an animal standing in the shade of a small tree; (3) an animal lying in the same shade. The overall pattern of results was shown by the effective radiation temperature measurements made at midday: 78.3, 57.6, and 52.5C for positions (I), (2), and (3) respectively. The relative contributions of solar and long-wave infrared radiation to the pattern of results are discussed.

Glasses reflective in the spectral range of long-wave infrared radiation operate as heat mirrors. These glasses have found wide applications in architecture. Special thin film coatings on glass panes reflect long wave infrared radiation back to building interiors. The reflective thin films limit absorption of infrared radiation within the glass pane and reduce radiation heat losses of glazings. Heat losses of windows could be significantly limited with the coated glasses which are called low-emissivity glazings. The study of materials convenient for infrared reflective coatings, the optimal composition of thin films and their thicknesses is the main topic of the presented paper. The study is based on measurements of spectral characteristics of selected glasses and computer simulations of the thin film composition for applications of window infrared reflective coatings.

<p class="maintext">Reflected background infrared radiation is an important contributor to the aircraft total infrared radiation. A reverse Monte Carlo ray tracing method to compute the infrared radiation signature of aircraft was introduced. The impact of atmospheric and ground radiation on the long wave infrared radiation signature of aircraft at the altitude of 11 km is analysed. The flight speed is Mach 0.8. The horizontal detection directions, downward detection directions and upward detection directions are considered. The results show that in the horizontal plane, the ratio of reflected background infrared radiation to self infrared radiation is about 10 per cent in summer, and 7 per cent in winter; the ratio values distributed in the front and side of the aircraft are bigger than that in the rear; and the existence of atmospheric and ground infrared radiation makes the apparent radiance temperature of the lower part of the aircraft higher than that of the upper part of the aircraft.</p><p class="maintext"><strong>Defence Science Journal, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2016, pp. 51-56, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.66.8090</strong></p>
