Hi all
I'm doing a project for energy efficient buildings with thermal insulation.(Just a leisure project and I am not technically that strong!)
This is about thermal radiation shielding.
My understanding is that Aluminium has higher reflectivity (Hence lower emissivity ) so that it will reflect all the heat due to radiation to the source itself.
Is there any other property for aluminium that makes it a radiation shield?
Or can I use a steel sheet with aluminium painting to achieve the same effect.(Though Weight will be more but cost will be less).
