2.1 Definition
A- Short wave radiation: is radiation originating from the sun, in the wavelength range of 0.3 to 3 μm.
B- Long wave radiation: is radiation originating from sources at temperatures near ordinary ambient
temperatures and thus substantially all at wavelengths greater than 3 μm.

2.14 Radiation on Sloped Surfaces
The three parts of diffuse radiation
The first is an isotropic part, received uniformly from the entire sky dome. The
second is circumsolar diffuse, resulting from forward scattering of solar radiation
and concentrated in the part of the sky around the sun. The third, referred to as
horizon brightening, is concentrated near the horizon and is most pronounced in
clear skies..

2.17 Radiation Augmentation
• All methods of estimating radiation on a tilted surface
need the beam and diffuse on a horizontal surface
• Beam may be available from measurements of direct (beam)
normal: Averaging over an hour:

2.18 Beam Radiation on Moving Surfaces
Most concentrating collectors utilize beam radiation only and move to ‘‘track’’ the sun.
At any time the beam radiation on a surface is a function of Gbn, the beam radiation
on a plane normal to the direction of propagation of the radiation:
Equation 2.18.1 can be written for an hour, in terms of I rather than G, and the angles
calculated for the midpoint of the hour.
