An efficient Spectral Collocation method based on the shifted Legendre polynomials was applied to get solution of heat transfer of a micropolar fluid through a porous medium with radiation. A similarity transformation is applied to convert the governing equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. Then, the shifted Legendre polynomials and their operational matrix of derivative are used for producing an approximate solution for this system of non-linear differential equations. The main advantage of the proposed method is that the need for guessing and correcting the initial values during the solution procedure is eliminated and a stable solution with good accuracy can be obtained by using the given boundary conditions in the problem. A very good agreement is observed between the obtained results by the proposed Spectral Collocation method and those of previously published ones.

The multiscale multigroup full-spectrum k-distribution (MSMGFSK) model was improved to adapt to radiation heat transfer calculations of combustion gas flow field with large temperature and pressure gradient. The improvements in calculation accuracy resulting from new sorting strategy of the spectral absorption coefficients were validated using a series of semi-1D problem in which strong temperature, pressure, and mole fraction inhomogeneities were present. A simpler method to attain compatibility between the MSMGFSK model and the gray-wall radiation emission has been established and validated. Finally, estimates are given for the calculation of wall radiation heat transfer characteristics and thermal emission imaging of the exhaust system of the parallel turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) engine, using finite volume method (FVM) and ray trace method (RT), respectively.

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.
