Thermal analysis for transient radiative cooling of a conducting semitransparent layer of ceramic in high-temperature applications

摘要

A method is developed for obtaining transient temperature distribution in a cooling semitransparent layer of ceramic. The layer is emitting, absorbing, isotropically scattering and heat conducting with a refractive index ranging from 1 to 2. The solution involves solving simultaneously the energy equation and the integral equation for the radiative flux gradient. The energy equation is solved using an implicit finite volume scheme and the integral equation of radiative heat transfer is solved using the singularity technique and Gaussian integration. The effects of scattering are investigated. It is shown that scattering has a significant effect on the transient temperature distribution and the transient mean temperature of the layer.
