Radiative heat transfer in enhanced hydrogen outgassing of glass

Author's personal copy Radiative heat transfer in enhanced hydrogen outgassing of glass

This paper explores the physical mechanisms responsible for experimental observations that led to the definition of ‘‘photo-induced hydrogen outgassing of glass’’. Doped borosilicate glass samples were placed inside an evacuated silica tube and heated in a furnace or by an incandescent lamp. It was observed that hydrogen release from the glass sample was faster and stronger when heated by an in...

Radiative heat transfer: many-body effects

Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...

Radiative transfer effects in hydrogen recombination masers

Using a simple on-the-spot approximation, we explore the parameter range in the (log(R), log(ne)) plane for which maser action in atomic hydrogen is present and briefly discuss how the borderlines of this region of strong population inversion arise. In particular we address the influence of radiative transfer on the population structure. We find that in normal HII regions no strong maser activi...

Computational Study of Radiative and Convective Heat Transfer in a Cylindrical Combustion Chamber

In this paper, the effect of cold air on the fluid flow inside the cylindrical combustion chamber and its wall temperature distribution have been studied computationally, taking into account the effect of radiative heat transfer from hot gases. The results have been compared with the case that radiative heat transfer was neglected. It is observed that the reattachment length increases when incr...
