Radiative Exchange

This paper describes the theoretical bases of the Radiative Exchange Method, a new numerical method for simulating radiation heat transfer. By considering radiative interaction between all points of the geometry and solving the radiation balance equation in a mesh structure coarser than the structure used in computational fluid flow calculation, this method is able to simulate radiative heat transfer in arbitrary 3D space with absorbing, emitting and scattering media surrounded by emitting, absorbing and reflecting surfaces. A new concept is introduced, that of the exchange factors between the different elements that are necessary for completing the radiative balance equation set. Using this method leads to a set of algebraic equations for the radiative outgoing power from each coarse cell being produced and the result of this set of equations was then used to calculate the volumetric radiative source term in the fine cell structure. The formulation of the exchange factor for a three-dimensional state and also a mesh size analysis that was conducted to optimize the accuracy and runtime are presented. The results of this model to simulate typical 3D furnace shape geometry, is verified by comparison with those of other numerical methods.

Definition Of

Analysis of radiation heat transfer using the Radiation Element Method by Ray Emission Model, REM2, is described. The REM2 is a generalized numerical method for calculating radiation heat transfer between absorbing, emitting and scattering media and specular surfaces with arbitrary three–dimensional configurations. The ray emission model for various radiation elements is expressed by polyhedrons and polygons. Arbitrary thermal conditions can be specified for each radiation element, and generalized radiation transfer can be achieved for both of surface and volume elements by introducing a new definition of view factors. The accuracy of the present method is verified using simple configurations. A cubic participating medium with a spherical cavity covered with specular and diffuse surfaces is analyzed as an example of an arbitrary configuration. The temperature distribution shows good accuracy with a small number (45) of rays emitted from each element compared with the Monte Carlo method.

ABSTRACTWe present a general purpose Monte Carlo method for the simulation of radiation heat transfer in rapid thermal processing (RTP) chambers. Three-dimensional mesh generation software is used to discretize the surfaces within the system, allowing the simulation of realistic chamber and reflector designs. An adaptive subdivision of the chamber geometry reduces the number of raysurface intersections which must be computed. The method models internal reflection, absorption, and transmission within participating media, and includes wavelength, temperature, and material dependent optical properties. Radiation heat transfer simulations are used to examine a reflector assembly, and to test the assumptions of optical wafer temperature measurement techniques.

An optimization algorithm for solving the boundary value problem for the stationary equations of radiation-conductive heat transfer in the three-dimensional region is presented in the framework of the $ P_1 $ - approximation of the radiation transfer equation. The analysis of the optimal control problem that approximates the boundary value problem where they are not defined boundary conditions for radiation intensity. Theoretical analysis is illustrated by numerical examples.

Experiments performed by others measured the temperature of twelve heated vertical rods within a constant temperature, internally finned cylindrical enclosure. Measurements were performed for a range of air and helium pressures and a range of rod heat generation rates. In the current work, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulations of natural convection and radiation heat transfer within this domain were conducted to benchmark the simulation techniques. These calculations accurately reproduced the local and average temperatures when the heat generation rate was sufficiently low that the velocity field is steady. Future simulations will be used to design experiments that model spent nuclear fuel within non-isothermal cells of storage packages.
