PD CEN/CLC/TR 17603-31-09:2021

This standard PD CEN/CLC/TR 17603-31-09:2021 Space Engineering. Thermal design handbook is classified in these ICS categories:

• 49.140 Space systems and operations

In this Part 9 of the spacecraft thermal control and design data handbooks, view factors of diffuse and specular thermal surfaces are discussed.

For diffuse surfaces, calculations are given for radiation emission and absorption between different configurations of planar, cylindrical, conical, spherical and ellipsoidal surfaces for finite and infinite surfaces.

For specular surfaces the affect of reflectance on calculations for view factors is included in the calculations. View factors for specular and diffuse surfaces are also included.
