Solution of the radiative heat transfer equation with internal energy sources in a slab by the LTSN method

摘要

In this work, we solve the radiative heat transfer equation for an arbitrary source with distributed internal energy sources and two bounded black boundaries which are kept at constant temperatures in a slab using the LTSN method. Numerical simulations are carried out for problems with constant, polynomial, exponential and Gaussian sources. We also compare our numerical comparisons with the available results in the literature.
