The effect of radiation heat transfer was investigated under various operating conditions in a circular tube with circumferential fins and circular disks. Using a finite volume technique(FVM) for steady laminar flow, the governing equations were derived in order to simulate the flow and temperature fields. In addition, the P-1 approximation and the Weighted Sum of Gray Gas Model(WSGGM) were used for the radiation transport equation(RTE). From the results, radiation heat transfer was significant compared to convection heat transfer. These results will be applied to the design of the heat exchanger for a condensing bolier, which were developed for domestic heating.

Natural convection and radiation heat transfer in a square enclosure containing absorbing, emitting, and isotopically scattering(participating) media is studied numerically using the finite volume method. Various numerical methods are employed to analyze the radiative heat transfer. However, it is very difficult to choose the proper method. In present study, a finite volume method(FVM) and a discrete ordinates method(DOM) are compared in rectangular enclosure. The SIMPLER algorithm is used to solve the momentum and energy equations. Thermal and flow characteristics are investigated according to the variation of radiation parameters such as optical thickness and scattering albedo. The result shows that the accuracy and the computing time of FVM are better than those of DOM in regular geometry.

This work investigates the transient cooling characteristics of an Infrared (IR) detector cryochamber, which has a critical effect on the cooling load. The current thermal modeling considers the conduction heat transfer through a cold well. the gaseous conduction due to outgassing. and the radiation heat transfer. The transient cooling Performance. i.e. the penetration depth and cooling load, is determined using a finite difference method. It is found that the penetration depth increases as the bore conductivity increases. Gaseous conduction and radiation hardly affect the penetration depth. The transient cooling load increases as the bore conductivity increases. The effects of gaseous conduction and radiation on transient heat transfer are weak at initial stages of cooling. However, their effects become significant as the cooling Process Proceeds.

The heat transfer over a radial heat sink, adapted for LED (light emitting diode) downlights, was experimentally and analytically investigated. We added radiation heat transfer into a previous calculation that neglected this factor. The numerical results agreed well with experimental results. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of the geometric parameters (fin length, fin height, ideal number of fins) and the operating parameter (heat flux) on the average heat-sink temperature from the heat-sink array. We found the fin length that maximizes the heattransfer performance. As the emissivity increased, the effect of geometric parameters on the radiation heat transfer decreased.

An experimental study has been conducted to evaluate the effects of $CO_{2}$ on heat transfer from hydrogen oxygen-enriched flame. Experiments were performed on flames stabilized by a co-flow swirl burner, which mounted on top of the furnace. Five composition conditions of oxidizer were chosen with replacing $N_{2}$ with $CO_{2}$. In a steady state, total and radiative heat flux rates from the flame to the wall of furnace has been measured using heat flux meters. Temperature distribution in furnace also has been checked. Increasing $CO_{2}$ ratio in the oxidizer, the dominant heat transfer mode was changed into convection from radiation. Temperature in the furnace decreased but total heat flux increased.

Numerical solutions are presented for the heat transfer from radiating and convecting fins. Consideration is given to thin, annular fins attached to a tube surface for which the temperature is constant. Fin to fin, fin to base, and fin to environment radiative interactions are considered. It is assumed that the radiating surface is diffuse-gray, the environment is black, and the surrounding fluid is transparent. The radiation terms are formulated by using Poljak's net-radiation methoad. The mathematical description of the simultaneously heat transport by conduction, convection, and radiation leads to a nonlinear integro-differential equation. This has been solved for a wide range of the pertinent physical parameters by using finite difference method and iteration method based on the Newton-Raphson technique. The temperature distributions, heat transfer rates, fin efficiencies, and fin effectivenesses are presented in dimensionless form. The results definitely indicate that the use of fins leads to a significant increase in heat transfer compared with the unfinned tube.

Infrared (IR) detectors are widely used for such applications as thermoelastic stress analysis, medical diagnostics and temperature measurement. Infrared detectors commonly need to be refrigerated below 80 K, and thus a cooling system should be equipped together with the detector system. The cooling load, which should be removed by the cooling system to maintain the nominal operating temperature of the detector, critically depends on the insulation efficiency of the cryochamber housing the detector. Thermal load of a cryochamber is attributed to the conduction heat transfer through a cold finger, the gases conduction and radiation heat transfer. The thermal loads of an infrared detector cryochamber with a radiation shield are investigated experimentally in present study. Since the effect of radiation heat transfer on thermal loads is significant, radiation shields is installed in the cold finger part to protect heat input through radiation.

The interaction of mixed convection and surface radiation in a printed circuit board(PCB) is investigated numerically. The electronic equipment is modeled by a two-dimensional channel with three hot blocks. In order to calculate the turbulent flow characteristics, the low Reynolds number k-.epsilon. model which is proposed by Launder and Sharma is applied. The S-4 approximation is used to solve the radiative transfer equation. The effects of the Reynolds number and geometric configuration variation of PCB on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are analyzed. As the results of this study, it is found that the thermal boundary layer occured at adiabatic wall in case with thermal radiation included, and the effect of radiation is also found to be insignificant for high Reynolds numbers. It is found, as well, that the heat transfer increases as the Reynolds number and block space increase and the channel height decreases and the heat transfer of vertical channel is greater than that of horizontal channel.

The aim of the work presented in this paper is development of numerical model for prediction of temperature distribution in pavement according to the measured meteorological parameters, with introduction of non-linear heat transfer coefficient which is a function of temerature difference between the air and the pavement. Developed model calculates heat radiated from the pavement back in the air, which is an important part of the heat trasfer process in the open air surfaces. Temperature of the pavement surface, heat radiation together with many meteorological parameters were measured in series during two years in order to validate the model and calibrate model parameters. Special finite element method for temperature heat transfer towards the soil together with the time integration scheme are used to solve the governing equation. It is proved that non-linear heat transfer coefficient, which is a function of time and temperature difference between the air and the pavement, is required to decribe this phenomena. Proposed model includes heat tranfer coefficient callibration for specific climate region, through the iterative inverse procedure.

The temperature of the wafer batch in the furnace was calculated and its visualized temperature field was analyzed. The main heat transfer mechanisms from the heater wall to the wafers were radiation and conduction, and the finite difference method was used to analyze the complex heat transfer including those two mechanisms. The visualized temperature field shows that the direction of the heat flux in the wafer batch varies during the heating process, and the heat in the wafer batch diffuses faster by conduction within the wafer than by radiation between the wafers, in the condition of the constant temperature at the heater wall and cap.
