Radiation Modeling

Three gray models for the radiative properties of gases were examined for their usage in oxy-combustion simulations of a full scale boiler with flue gas recycle. Fully coupled computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations of a full scale boiler were carried out employing the weighted-sum-of-gray-gases model (WSGGM) at air burn, dry-recycle and wet-recycle conditions. The resulting thermal and composition fields were then frozen and the radiative properties of the gaseous media recomputed employing the Exponential Wide Band Model (EWBM) and correlations for total emissivities of gas mixtures. It is shown that when high CO2/H2O ratios were encountered within the boiler such as in dry-recycle scenarios, employing emissivity correlations developed for purely CO2 media within the models can result in incorrect gas properties. The errors associated with this can be significant when there are large pockets within the furnace where the gas radiation dominates the particle radiation.

Wide Band Model

An experimental and theoretical investigation of the interaction of gaseous thermal radiation with natural convection was made for a laminar methane-air diffusion flame in the lower stagnation region of a horizontal porous cylinder. The exponential wide-hand gas radiation model was employed in this nonhomogeneous (nonuniform in temperature and composition) problem through the use of scaling techniques. Using a numerical scheme, the compressible energy, flow, and species-diffusion equations were solved simultaneously with and without the radiative component. In the experiment, methane was blown uniformly from the surface of the porous cylinder, setting up (upon ignition) a diffusion flame within the free-convection boundary layer. Using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a gas chromatograph, temperature and composition measurements were obtained along the stagnation line. Excellent agreement was found between the results based on the nongray wide-band model and the experimental data. Furthermore, it was found that the wide-band model yielded results that were superior to those results that excluded radiation-interaction effects. Thus, this study demonstrates that the exponential wide-band model can be accurately applied to nonhomogeneous combustion situations in order to account for the radiation-convection interactions.

Wide Band Model

The influence of the spectral model of radiation on heat fluxes and the temperature of combustion products in the radiant chambers of tube furnaces of the petrochemical industry is analyzed. A wide-band model and a Hottel gray model are considered. It is shown that the spectral model of the combustion medium radiation weakly affects the calculated characteristics of the total heat transfer.

Wide Band Model

The S-N discrete ordinates method is applied to analyze radiative heat transfer in nongray gases. Spectral correlation between the terms in the equation of transfer is considered for black or nearly nonreflecting walls. Formulations to apply the S-N method using a narrow-band or the exponential wide-band model are presented. The net radiative wall heat fluxes and the radiative source distributions are obtained for uniform, parabolic, and boundary layer type temperature profiles, as well as for a parabolic concentration profile. The narrow- and wide-band nongray solutions are compared with gray-band approximations using the same band models. The computational speed of the gray-band approximation is obtained at the expense of accuracy in the internal fluxes and radiative source distributions. The wall radiative flux predictions by the gray-band approximation are satisfactory.

Total Emissivity

The weighted sum of gray gases model postulates that total emissivity and absorptivity may be represented by the sum of a gray gas emissivity weighted with a temperature dependent factor. The gray gas emissivity is expressed in terms of a temperature-independent absorption coefficient, absorbing gas partial pressure, and path length. The weighting factors are given by polynomials in gas temperature with associated polynomial coefficients. For absorptivity, a second polynomial for the irradiation temperature is introduced. A regression scheme is employed to fit the model to total emissivity and absorptivity values obtained from the exponential wide-band model. Absorption and polynomial coefficients are reported for carbon dioxide, water vapor, and mixtures of these gases. The model with these coefficients more accurately represents the total properties over a wider range of temperatures and partial pressure-path length products than previously available coefficients.
