The Numerical Analysis of Heat Transfer Combined with Radiation and Convection : 1st Report, The Effect of Two-dimensional Radiative Transfer between Isothermal Parallel Plates

Abstract

A numerical analysis on heat transfer combined with radiation and convection is performed by means of two-dimensional radiative transfer in case that a radiative medium is flowing between isothermal parallel plates. The numerical method are discussed, and the characteristics of heat transfer aware investigated with laminar and turbulent flow models. Comparisons between the results of one-dimensional and those of two-dimensional radiation show that the differences between temperature profiles are considerable in the entrance region of the heating zone.
