Heat Transfer to a Gas Containing a Cloud of Particles
Abstract
The principles describing the transfer of heat by radiation were formulated in the latter part of the previous century and their application to practical problems has been the subject of much study since that time. The resulting analyses are mostly of limited applicability, however, because of the lengthy calculations involved and the numerous empirical assumptions required to obtain them. Now space exploration, nuclear technology, and plasma research, to name a few, require more nearly exact solutions, since the temperatures encountered in these fields may be much above those in conventional equipment and radiation is likely the dominant mode of heat transfer. Fortunately, solutions are attainable now that high-speed electronic computers can be employed to solve problems that before were hopelessly involved.
