  • Barney J. Conrath
چکیده

An elementary introduction to the inverse problem of radiative transfer as applied to remote measurements of infrared radiation from planetary atmospheres is presented, along with a review of work which has been done on the problem. Particular attention is given to the problems of inferring vertical temperature profiles and water vapor distributions in the earth's atmosphere. The principle methods which have been developed for solving these problems are discussed briefly. Examples of applications of temperature and water vapor inversions to both synthetic data anddata taken with an IRIS instrument at balloon altitudes are presented.

A Comparative Study of the Application of Differential Evolution and Simulated Annealing in Radiative Transfer Problems

The radiative transfer phenomenon is modeled by an integro-differential equation known as Boltzmann equation. This equation describes mathematically the interaction of the radiation with the participating medium, i.e., a medium that may absorb, scatter and emit radiation. In this sense, this work presents a study regarding the estimation of radiative properties in a one-dimensional participatin...

Inverse Boundary Design Problem of Combined Radiation-convection Heat Transfer in Laminar Recess Flow

In the present work, an inverse analysis of combined radiation and laminar forced convection heat transfer in a two-dimensional channel with variable cross sections is performed. The conjugate gradient method is used to find the temperature distribution over the heater surface to satisfy the prescribed temperature and heat flux distributions over the design surface. The fluid is considered to b...

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...

ANALYSIS OF COMBINED CONDUCTION AND RADIATION HEAT TRANSFER IN A RECTANGULAR FURNACE INCLUDING TWO FLAMES

Abstract: The present study deals the theoretical modeling aspects of coupled conductive and radiative heat transfer in the presence of absorbing, emitting and scattering gray medium within two-dimensional square furnace including two flames. The gray radiative medium is bounded by isothermal walls which are considered to be opaque, diffuse and gray. The well known discrete ordinate method (DOM...
