Radiative Heat Transfer for Emitting, Absorbing and Scattering Planar Media

This analytical and experimental effort is directed toward understanding and predicting the radiative heat transfer in planar gas and particulate systems. The analysis models both nongray absorption of the gas phase by the exponential wide band model and the redirection of radiant energy by particulate scattering through the optical path length concept. The total hemispherical emittance for a single gas species in an isothermal planar layer with scattering particulate is developed. Exact results for a gas species of H(,2)O or CO(,2) are presented. A factor to incorporate scattering is presented to more easily utilize the analysis. The analysis is also applied to typical combustion processes. The results are given in terms of variables which are known or easily measured.
