Thermal discrete dipole approximation for the description of thermal emission and radiative heat transfer of magneto-optical systems

Convergence analysis of the thermal discrete dipole approximation.

The thermal discrete dipole approximation (T-DDA) is a numerical approach for modeling near-field radiative heat transfer in complex three-dimensional geometries. In this work, the convergence of the T-DDA is investigated by comparison against the exact results for two spheres separated by a vacuum gap. The error associated with the T-DDA is reported for various sphere sizes, refractive indices...

Prediction of Heat Transfer Coefficient for Thermal Regenerators

Correlation of heat transfer coefficients for air flow through the regenerator constructed from randomly paked spheres is reported for the symmetric-balanced mode of operation. The experimental results have been correlated by the least square regression has been obtained.The present correlation has been compared with the heat transfer coefficient correlations in the literature.

Effect of Thermal Conductivity and Emissivity of Solid Walls on Time-Dependent Turbulent Conjugate Convective-Radiative Heat Transfer

In the present study, the conjugate turbulent free convection with the thermal surface radiation in a rectangular enclosure bounded by walls with different thermophysical characteristics in the presence of a local heater is numerically studied. The effects of surface emissivity and wall materials on the air flow and the heat transfer characteristics are the main focus of the present investigati...
