General Considerations in Radiation with a Particle Cloud

3 General Considerations in Radiation with a Particle Cloud [Pg.150]

If a single ray of radiative beam traversing a medium is scattered only once before leaving the medium, the medium is characterized by single scattering. If more than one scattering occurs per ray, the medium is characterized by multiple scattering. [Pg.150]

Independent scattering refers to the scattering from a single particle in a cloud which is not affected by the neighboring particles, whereas dependent scattering refers to the scattering [Pg.150]

Consider the energy balance of radiant flux through a scattering medium of monodispersed spherical particles, in which absorption, emission, and scattering by spherical particles are included. As shown in Fig. 4.7, the equation for the change in monochromatic radiant [Pg.151]

The scattering function S is defined in such a way that the expression [Pg.152]
