"EMITTANCE" is a common misspelling or typo for: admittance, remittance. |
| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | (Symbol E) 1. The radiant flux per unit area emitted by a body. 2. The ratio of the emitted radiant flux per unit area of a sample to that of a black body radiator at the same temperature and under the same conditions. Spectral emittance refers to emittance measured at a specified wavelength.Because of the two common meanings of emittance, it should be defined when used unless the context allows no misinterpretation.
