Abstract

Based upon the exponential wide band model, an analytical expression is derived for the total band absorptance of the pure rotational band of water vapor. It is shown that the usual band absorptance expressions, which are based on this model, are inaccurate for this band. The use of the total band absorptance in computing the emissivity and absorptivity is also considered. Representations of these functions is achieved within a simple analytical framework.
