Qu'il s’agisse d’un corps solide, liquide ou gazeux, l'émittance de ce corps est définie comme le rapport entre le flux de rayonnement thermique propre émis par ce corps et celui qui émettrait un corps noir à la même température pour une radiation de longueur d’onde définie. 2, record 12, French, - %C3%A9mittance

Les méthodes optiques sont les méthodes de choix pour mesurer les températures supérieures à 1000° C. La couleur des radiations émises par un corps chauffé donne des indications sur la température de ce corps. [...] Les pyromètres optiques sont de trois types. 1. Le pyromètre monochromatique à disparition de filament. [...] 2. Le pyromètre monochromatique photo-électrique. [...] 3.

A measurement of environmental thermal conditions, made with a thermometer the bulb of which is in the centre of a six-inch diameter matt-black surfaced thin-walled copper sphere. By this technique a value is obtained which reflects the radiant heat flux, the air velocity and the ambient air temperature, the measuring instrument being so designed as to have similar ratios of convective and radiative heat loss to those of man in the same conditions. 1, record 14, English, - globe%20temperature

Une mesure des conditions thermiques du milieu, faite au moyen d’un thermomètre dont le réservoir est placé au centre d’une sphère de 6 pouces de diamètre, dont la paroi est une feuille mince de cuivre et dont la surface est d’un noir mat. Par cette technique, on obtient une valeur qui représente le flux de chaleur radiante, la vitesse de l'air et la température de l'air ambiant, l'instrument de mesure étant conçu pour avoir des rapports de perte de chaleur par convection et des pertes de chaleur par radiation, similaires à ceux de l'homme dans les mêmes conditions. 1, record 14, French, - temp%C3%A9rature%20mesur%C3%A9e%20par%20thermom%C3%A8tre%20globe

Steam-heated kilns. Steam is commonly used as a source of heat in kilns. The temperature of saturated steam varies with its pressure, and more radiating surface is required to maintain a given heat transfer rate with low steam pressure than with high pressure steam. 2, record 15, English, - steam%2Dheated%20kiln

Séchoirs chauffés à la vapeur. La vapeur est couramment utilisée dans les séchoirs comme source de chaleur. La température de la vapeur saturée varie avec sa pression; c'est pourquoi une plus grande surface de radiation est nécessaire pour maintenir un taux de transmission de chaleur donné si le séchoir fonctionne à la vapeur à basse pression plutôt qu'à haute pression. 1, record 15, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20chauff%C3%A9%20%C3%A0%20la%20vapeur
