Jul 1, 2007 · Abstract. This paper discusses the life of Josef Stefan, namesake of both the Stefan–Boltzmann constant, used in radiation heat transfer, and the Stefan number, the dimensionless variable used in solid–liquid phase change processes. Stefan was also the first to accurately measure the thermal conductivity of gases.
