Fundamentals of thermal radiation heat transfer; Proceedings of the Winter Annual Meeting, New Orleans, LA, December 9-14, 1984

Recent work in the field of radiation heat transfer is addressed in this symposium volume. Three broad topics are considered: analysis and modeling of radiation theory, radiation with a participating medium in a complex geometry, and radiation and/or other modes. Individual papers examine: Hookean and Stokesean implications of radiative stress; effective emissivity of a fluidized bed; mathematical modelling of heat transfer within the furnace of a pulverized coal-fired boiler equipped with platensuperheaters; radiative transfer in axisymmetric, finite cylindrical enclosures; thermal behavior in furnaces of complex geometry; analysis of radiative equilibrium in a rectangular enclosure with gray medium; effects of isotropic scattering onmelting and solidification of a semiinfinite, semitransparent medium; simultaneous radiation and forced convection in thermally developing turbulent flow through a parallel plate channel; and recent advances in the numerical analysis of dynamiccoupled thermoelasticity
