12.67 An infrared (IR) thermograph is a radiometer that pro- vides an image of the target scene, indicating the apparent temperature of elements in the scene by a black-white brightness or blue-red color scale. Radiation originating from an element in the target scene is incident on the radiation detector, which provides a signal proportional to the incident radiant power. The signal sets the image brightness or color scale for the image pixel associated with that element. A scheme is proposed for field cali- bration of an infrared thermograph having a radiation detector with a 3- to 5-um spectral bandpass. A hot metal plate, which is maintained at 327°C and has four diffuse, gray coatings with different emissivities, is viewed by the IR thermograph in surroundings for which Tsur = 87°C. Tsur = 87°C Coatings, E T, = 327°C IR thermograph, S, or S. Black coating, € = 1
(a) Consider the thermograph output when viewing the black coating, E, = 1. The radiation reaching the detector is proportional to the product of the blackbody emissive power (or emitted intensity) at the temperature of the surface and the band emis- sion fraction corresponding to the IR thermograph spectral bandpass. The proportionality constant is referred to as the responsivity, R(UV.m?/W). Write an expression for the thermograph output signal, S, in terms of R, the coating blackbody emissive power, and the appropriate band emis- sion fraction. Assuming R=1 uV.mº/W, evaluate S. (UV). (b) Consider the thermograph output when viewing one of the coatings for which the emissivity E is less than unity. Radiation from the coating reaches the detector due to emission and the reflection of irradiation from the surroundings. Write an expression for the signal, Se, in terms of R, the coating blackbody emissive power, the blackbody emissive power of the surroundings, the coating emissivity, and the appropriate band emission fractions. For the diffuse, gray coatings, the reflec- tivity is pe=1- (c) Assuming R = 1 uv .m²/W, evaluate the thermo- graph signals, S. (UV), when viewing panels with emissivities of 0.8, 0.5, and 0.2. (d) The thermograph is calibrated so that the signal S. (with the black coating) will give a correct scale indication of T, = 327°C. The signals from the other three coatings, S., are less than S. Hence the thermograph will indicate an apparent (black- body) temperature less than T. Estimate the tem- peratures indicated by the thermograph for the three panels of part (c).
