Temperature distributions and thermal stress distributions in a semi-transparent GSO crystal during Czochralski (CZ) single crystal growth were numerically investigated by thermal radiation heat transfer analysis and anisotropy stress analysis. As GSO has special optical properties, such as semi-transparency at a wavelength shorter than 4.5 μm, thermal radiation heat transfer was calculated by the Monte Carlo method. These calculations showed that thermal stress is caused by the radial temperature distribution on the outside of the upper part of the crystal. To reduce this temperature distribution, the following three manufacturing conditions were found to be effective: use a sharp taper angle of the crystal, install a lid to the top of the insulator, and install a ring around the tapered part of the crystal.

Due to their high operating temperature, there has been speculation that thermal radiation may play an important role in the overall heat transfer within the electrode and electrolyte layers of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). This paper presents a detailed characterization of the thermophysical and radiative properties of the composite materials, which are then used to define a simple 2-D model incorporating the heat transfer characteristics of the electrode and electrolyte layers of a typical planar SOFC. Subsequently, the importance of thermal radiation is assessed by comparing the temperature field obtained using a conduction model with fields obtained using coupled conduction/radiation models. Contrary to some published literature, these results show that radiation heat transfer has a negligible effect on the temperature field within these components, and does not need to be accommodated in comprehensive thermal models of planar SOFCs.
