The formula for radiation loss depends on the context, but in general, it can be calculated using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law, which states that the power radiated per unit area of a black body is directly proportional to the fourth power of the body’s absolute temperature (T). Mathematically, it’s expressed as:
Where:
- is the power radiated,
- is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67×10−8 Wm−2K−4),
- is the surface area, and
- is the absolute temperature in Kelvin.
