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...

The rst MeV image of the inner Galaxy obtained with the COMPTEL telescope aboard the Compton Observatory shows a structured ridge of emission along the Galactic equator which probably consists of diiuse radiation and unresolved discrete sources. The intensity distribution of this ridge distinctly diiers from the expected distribution for a simple model of the diiuse radiation. Most remarkable a...

A suitable model for predicting the product quality of vacuum gas oil (VGO) catalytic hydrocracking is developed. Data were obtained using an experimental catalytic hydrocracking reactor loaded with the Ni-Mo/Al2O3-SiO2 catalyst. A set of experimental runs was conducted under various operating temperatures from 380 to 450 ℃. Three distribution models were used t...
