1. Introduction
The temperature of a body is commonly assessed through the utilization of blackbody radiation. The exploration of Stefan-Boltzmann’s law in n-dimensional space has been pursued [
1]. It has been observed that thermal radiation exhibits notable deviations from blackbody radiation when considering bodies of small size. Investigations into the size effect of thermal radiation in one, two, and three dimensions have been conducted [
2,
3,
4]. Techniques for correcting camera and infrared detector errors have been developed to enhance temperature measurement accuracy [
5,
6,
7,
8], while investigations into minimum resolvable temperature have been conducted in the realm of thermal imaging sensing [
9]. Furthermore, calculations of effective temperature for non-uniform temperature distributions have been investigated [
10,
11]. Additionally, research across various fields has delved into the fractal dimensions of natural phenomena and their applications [
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17]. Integer dimensions are idealized constructs, whereas fractional dimensions manifest in natural phenomena. The evaluation of fractal dimensions on the thermal and hydrodynamic properties of micro-channel rough surface structures was conducted using computational fluid dynamic simulations [
18]. The heat capacity of liquid helium, which exhibits a fractal dimension between two and three dimensions, was calculated. The results showed a significant dependence on this fractal dimension [
19]. The fractional dimension of a body can be discerned through the measurement of the maximum frequency of thermal radiation. A study explored how the most probable frequency of emitted radiation relates to thermal energy across arbitrary dimensions [
20]. Furthermore, the study of temperature-independent thermal radiation—where the color remains constant despite temperature variations—was investigated through insulator-to-metal phase transitions [
21]. To construct high-energy accelerators, superconducting cavities are essential for accelerating high-energy beams. Cryogenic systems were constructed, superconducting cavities were developed, and the surface resistance of these cavities was investigated [
22,
23,
24,
25].
In this study, we investigate the properties of generalized effective temperature across arbitrary dimensions. We examine the energy density of blackbody radiation in relation to dimensionality. Generalized effective temperatures for non-uniform temperature distributions are derived for one, two, and three dimensions, with extensions to fractional dimensions and arbitrary higher dimensions. We explore the effective temperature for linearly non-uniform temperature distributions across arbitrary dimensions, as well as its variation with volume fraction. Additionally, we estimate the effective temperature when a low-temperature test system is supplied with liquid nitrogen and liquid helium.

3. Blackbody Radiation in Arbitrary Dimensions
While blackbody radiation in integer dimensions is well-understood, we can extend this concept to arbitrary dimensions. For comparison, the energy density of one-dimensional blackbody radiation is given by [
4]
where
represents the Boltzmann constant, T denotes the absolute temperature,
stands for the Planck constant, and c denotes the speed of light. The energy density of two-dimensional blackbody radiation becomes [
3]
where
stands for the Riemann zeta function. The energy density for blackbody radiation in three dimensions is [
2]
The energy density in equations (13), (14), and (15) is proportional to the temperature raised to a power that reflects the total dimensionality. This total dimension incorporates both spatial and temporal components. While the spatial dimension can be arbitrary, time remains one-dimensional.
Dimension which includes integer dimension as well as fractional dimension can be calculated as
where D is the dimension, S is the scaling factor, and N is the number of the pieces. The dimension of an object can be determined using an arbitrary scaling factor. Eq. (16) allows us to calculate the arbitrary dimension for any given geometry.

1,
20]
where Γ is the gamma function and D denotes the space dimension. The energy density increases with temperature as T
(D+1), where D represents the spatial dimensions and the additional power of 1 accounts for the time dimension.
4. Effective Temperature for One, Two and Three Dimensions
The total energy density of one-dimensional thermal radiation is defined as:
Here,

Using Eq. (13) and Eq. (18), we can derive the effective temperatures for three different temperature distributions, denoted as T1, T2, and T3
where L represents the total length of the body, with L
1, L
2, and L
3 denoting the length corresponding to temperatures T
1, T
2 and T
3, respectively. It’s important to note that the effective temperature of the body always surpasses the average temperature when dealing with more than two different temperature regions. For a one-dimensional non-uniform temperature distribution, the effective temperature of n segments can be generalized as

1, A
2, and A
3 denoting the surface areas corresponding to temperatures T
1, T
2, and T
3, respectively. It’s important to note that the average temperature is lower than the effective temperature for three different temperatures. In two dimensions, the effective temperature for n segments with varying temperature distributions can be generalized as
where

For continuously non-uniform temperature distribution in two dimensions, the effective temperature can be expressed as

1, V
2, and V
3 denoting the volume corresponding to temperatures T
1, T
2, and T
3, respectively. The effective temperature of the body for the n segments of different temperature distribution in three-dimensional thermal radiation can be generalized as
where V represents the total volume of the body, given by
. The effective temperature is defined for discrete non-uniform three-dimensional temperature distribution in Eq. (28), where many small bodies have different temperatures.

5. Effective Temperature for Arbitrary Dimension
Many natural physical systems exhibit fractional dimensions, which often deviate from regular geometric shapes. For instance, while a line is typically considered one-dimensional, the dimension of a curved line exceeds one dimension. Similarly, while a perfectly smooth surface is typically two-dimensional, the dimension of a surface with roughness surpasses two dimensions. This study investigates thermal radiation properties across arbitrary dimensions, shedding light on the correlation between maximum radiation frequency and these dimensions [
20].
The total energy density of the thermal radiation for both fractional dimension and arbitrary dimension is given by
Here, h represents the Planck constant, c denotes the speed of light, D signifies the space dimension, and T
eff stands for the effective temperature of the body.
Combining Eqs (17) and (30), the effective temperature of a body with three different temperature distributions in D-dimension can be formulated as
Here, v denotes the total volume of the body, while
,
, and
represent the volumes corresponding to temperatures T
1, T
2 and T
3, respectively. For n segments exhibiting different temperature distributions, the generalized effective temperature of the body in arbitrary-dimensional thermal radiation is given by
where
and D represents the space dimension. The generalized effective temperature of continuously changing temperature distribution in arbitrary D-dimension can be expressed as
.
Eq. (33) represents the most generalized effective temperature for continuously changing temperature distributions in D-dimension, applicable to both fractional and arbitrary dimensions.
6. Results and Discussion
The effective temperature of a cryogenic system is of utmost importance as it dictates the required cooling power and associated costs for achieving desired temperatures.
Figure 2 depicts the cryogenic system designed for a quarter-wave resonator cryomodule, where the superconducting cavity is cooled using both liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. These cryogenic liquids, with boiling points at 77 K and 4.2 K respectively, are widely employed in cryogenic applications due to their effectiveness in cooling systems.
Figure 3 illustrates the effective temperature of linearly non-uniform temperature distribution for both liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. It serves as a valuable reference when examining thermal contact from room temperature to cryogenic temperatures. The effective temperatures for one, two, and three dimensions can be derived using Eq. (21), Eq. (25), and Eq. (29) respectively. The linearly non-uniform temperature distribution between liquid nitrogen and room temperature is given by T(x)=77+(300-77)x/L, where L represents the total length of the body.
For the linearly non-uniform temperature distribution ranging from 77 K to 300 K, the effective temperatures for one, two, and three dimensions are 199.2 K, 208.3 K, and 216.0 K, respectively. The average temperature is calculated as 188.5 K. Additionally, for the linearly non-uniform temperature between liquid helium and room temperature, the equation is given by T(x)=4.2+(300-4.2)x/L, where L represents the total length of the body.
For the linearly non-uniform temperature distribution ranging from 4.2 K to 300 K, the effective temperatures for one, two, and three dimensions are 174.4 K, 189.9 K, and 201.3 K, respectively. These values are obtained using Eq. (21), Eq. (25), and Eq. (29) to calculate the effective temperature for one, two, and three dimensions, respectively. The average temperature is determined to be 152.1 K. Notably, the effective temperature of a body exceeds its average temperature, and it increases with higher dimensions.
Figure 4 depicts the effective temperature with identical volume ratios for liquid helium and room temperature, as well as for liquid nitrogen and room temperature. In the top graph of
Figure 4, the effective temperature is shown with the same volume ratio for 77 K and 300 K, while in the bottom graph, it is shown for 4.2 K and 300 K. It’s observed that the effective temperature increases with higher dimensions. Furthermore, the disparity in effective temperature between the two cases decreases as the dimensionality is increased.
In
Figure 5, the effective temperature is presented as a function of the volume ratio for liquid helium and room temperature. Specifically, the graph illustrates the effective temperature with respect to the volume ratio of the 300 K volume to the 4.2 K volume. As anticipated, the effective temperature rises as the volume ratio increases. Moreover, it is noted that the effective temperature also escalates with increasing dimensionality while maintaining the same volume ratio.
Figure 6 illustrates the effective temperature as a function of the volume ratio, specifically the ratio of 300 K volume to 77 K volume. It is evident that the effective temperature increases with both increasing dimensionality and volume ratio.
The effective temperature of a cryogenic system holds significant importance, as it directly influences the cooling temperature of the body and the volume of the cryogenic system, particularly when using liquid helium and liquid nitrogen. These factors are closely tied to the overall cost of the system. Therefore, this research provides valuable insights into understanding the effective temperature of cryogenic systems, offering potential applications and benefits in this field.
The effective temperature represents the global temperature concept of a body, particularly useful when the local temperature distribution across the body is non-uniform. When seeking to determine the overall temperature of the body, calculating the effective temperature becomes essential. This paper offers valuable insights into computing the effective temperature for both integer and fractional dimensions, providing a useful resource for obtaining the effective temperature of a body across various dimensional spaces.
7. Conclusions
We have demonstrated the characteristics of the generalized effective temperature across both fractional and arbitrary dimensions. Additionally, we present the energy densities of blackbody radiation across one, two, three, and higher dimensions. The Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is displayed for one, two, and three dimensions, with effective temperatures expressed for each dimension. The generalization of effective temperature for non-uniform temperature distributions in various dimensions, from one to high dimensions, is provided. Furthermore, we compute the effective temperature for cryogenic liquids, including liquid nitrogen and liquid helium, and express the effective temperature of linearly non-uniform temperature distributions as a function of arbitrary dimension. We also illustrate the effective temperature for two different temperature distributions in terms of arbitrary dimension and volume fraction. This generalized effective temperature framework is applicable across fractional and higher dimensions.
