The radiation under black-body conditions, or for an emissivity of 1.0, is given in Table 7* for cold surfaces as low as -- 39 F to warmer surfaces as high as 139 F. The emissivities of a number of surfaces ordinarily
encountered in engineering practice are shown in Table 6. For radiation table at higher temperatures, and further discussion of radiation calcu lations, see Chapter 31.

Combined Convection and Radiation
It should be noted that the previous equations and tables give the heat transfer by convection and by radiation computed separately. In many
