Abstract
This chapter aims at providing an overview on established theories, methods, and tools for dealing with the determination of the radiative properties of particles. The assumptions on the particulate media are provided to confine the treatise to configurations that are common and generic in contemporary thermal science and engineering problems. Basics of the physics of electromagnetic absorption and scattering by particles are summarized. The radiative properties of interest are derived and their use for thermal radiation transfer clarified. A general methodology and a toolbox for calculating the radiative properties of particles are introduced. The existing certified methods for predicting directly the properties of individual particles are briefly presented, separating the cases of particles with arbitrary shapes from those with regular shapes. Common approaches for deriving the radiative properties of particles from measurements are described.
