Abstract Taking nonequilibrium radiative heat transfer between two surfaces as an example, the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of radiation is studied and discussed. The formulas of entropy flow, entropy generation, exergy flux, and optimal temperature of absorbing surface for maximum exergy output are derived. The result is a contribution to the thermodynamic analysis and optimization of solar energy utilization and can be applied in more complex radiative heat transfer cases.
