Description

This chapter shows how the inclusion of scattering and absorption in a diffusion model of radiative heat transfer results in a conductivity formula similar to the Rosseland formula except that there is a correction resulting from the antisymmetric portion of the scattering phase function. Discusses emission and interaction laws, radiative flux in the diffusion approximation, radiative conductivity, and nonthermal radiation transmission. Derives the familiar conductivity formula of Larkin and Churchill through an approximate treatment of boundary effects, although here it applies without restriction regarding scattering and absorption. Derives a formula for the transmitted radiation attenuation coefficient and relates it to the conductivity
