Radiative heat transfer: many-body effects

Many-body radiative heat transfer theory.

In this Letter, an N-body theory for the radiative heat exchange in thermally nonequilibrated discrete systems of finite size objects is presented. We report strong exaltation effects of heat flux which can be explained only by taking into account the presence of many-body interactions. Our theory extends the standard Polder and van Hove stochastic formalism used to evaluate heat exchanges betw...

Calculating Radiative Heat Transfer in anAxisymmetric Closed

Radiative heat transfer plays an important part in the Czochralski crystal growth process , but it is diicult to simulate numerically because of the amount of computational time required. This paper describes the parallelization of a code simulating radiative heat transfer in the crystal and in the region above the melt containing gas under the assumption of axial symmetry. This code allows arb...

Optimization of Radiative Heat Transfer inside Greenhouses

This paper presents a multi-objective procedure based on a fully elitist genetic algorithm, GA, able to optimize the radiative heat transfer inside greenhouses used to grow crops. Details of the genetic algorithm used is presented herein but the focus is on the heat transfer. The decision variables are the tube temperature and tube radius, that affects directly the entalphy heating flow, and th...

Modelling radiative heat transfer in packed beds

A comprehensive approach for modelling dependent radiative heat transfer in beds of large (geometric range) spherical particles is presented. Such a system of large spheres lies in the dependent range even for large porosities. We show that the dependent properties for a bed of opaque spheres can be obtained from their independent properties by scaling the optical thickness while leaving the al...
