The Stefan-Boltzmann law quantifies thermal radiation emitted by objects. It states that radiated power is proportional to the fourth power of absolute temperature.

The calculator applies P = σ × ε × A × T⁴
P
σ × ε × A × T⁴ — σ × ε × A × T⁴

Why is the T⁴ dependence important?

Small temperature increases dramatically increase radiation; doubling absolute temperature increases power by 16×.

What is emissivity?

Emissivity (0-1) indicates how efficiently an object radiates; 1 is a perfect blackbody, less than 1 reflects some heat.
