Although these mantles emitted a brilliant light for a few hours, their light-emissivity was destroyed by carbonization.
Inventors therefore sought for methods by which the emission of light could be obtained from coal gas independently of the incandescence of the carbon particles in the flame itself; and step by step it was discovered that gas could be better employed merely as a heating agent, to raise to incandescence substances having a higher emissivity of light than carbon.
The emissivity increases with the temperature, else no state of thermal equilibrium could be reached.
Kilgour some time ago published quantitative results concerning the thermal emissivity by radiation and convection in which the effect with thin wires was clearly shown.
Values which are commonly given for the surface emissivity must therefore be accepted with great reserve.
