This book presents the first study on the radiative relaxation
mechanism of water between its different phases in order to explain
an uncommon radiation phenomenon observed in the first-order
phase-transition process of water. This kind of radiation is often
referred to as phase-transition radiation, whose nature is
different from the Planckian radiation because its strength can be
even stronger than blackbody radiation at the same temperature.
Changes of energetic behaviors of water molecules during phase
transitions are linked to the direct emission of infrared
radiation. The reported characteristic radiation for vapor
condensation at wavelength 4-8 micron-meter is attributed to the
radiative relaxation with one hydrogen-bond formation in
liquid-water during vapor condensation. Results from infrared
transmission experiments and the associated theoretical predictions
by the Monte Carlo radiative transfer analysis suggest that the
probability for condensation radiation occurrence, based on a
statistical view for a great ensemble of molecules, is one out of
20 million collisions between water-vapor molecules and
liquid-water droplets.
