Abstract

A pyrometric method of measuring the surface temperature of a target in a solar furnace has been developed by using 1.38-μ wavelength radiation which is absent in solar radiation. The measured temperature distribution of irradiated graphite together with the theoretical consideration of the performance is presented.
